I Feel Your Pain

Have you ever seen someone pour their heart out.  Well, I have.  And the times when it hurts the most is when you really want to be able to do something, anything to ease their pain and you can't.

They say things happen in threes and it seems lately the old saying has been holding true.  When you look into someone's eyes and see the hurt and pain they are going through and it is nothing you can do to help is one the most helpless feelings I have ever experienced.  It really makes one realize how precious our lives really are.

When my mother is telling me days how much pain she is in.  All I can do is listen.  The Lord up in heaven above knows how much I wish there was something I could do to ease her pain.  With MS you have up days and down days.  You can visually see the change in her bone structure.  When you hear the hurt and pain in their voice over the phone and there is nothing you can physically do to help is the most helpless feeling in the world.

Sometimes I sit and wonder why good people have to suffer?  But I know it is all part of God's plan.  Sometimes it can be they need to go through what they are going through to be a witness to someone else.  When someone can go through so much and still keep their faith you know with all they are going through God still has them.  I feel God sometimes uses us to be the voice for those people who cannot be a voice for themselves.

Any of my family or friends know whatever the time, day, or hour you may need me I always try and be there.  If just my presence can add a bit of comfort I'm all in.

I understand sometimes the best you can do for others is just to let them have their space.  I am the last person in the world with my A Type personality to be overbearing.  Sometimes we have to be selfless enough to let people weather their storms no matter how much we want to reach out and hold and console them.

Prayer helps.  And my family, friends, and loved ones just know I'm praying for you.  They say you have not because you ask not.  I'm asking for a miracle for healing mercies and blessings.

Always,

Lynne
