Upon reading your post, I began to ponder your thoughts, and God's grace kept creeping into my thoughts. It's only by His grace that we can experience true love, and more so agape love. The good news is that God's grace and provision are sufficient to help us persevere and even thrive through the grief we experience in this life. -In His Grip Eric Randolph Dan,

There are so many things we can not control and the ability to recognize our boundaries and deal with them in a positive way would fail, without belief and a relationship with God. I believe that is why family and our world is so broken today. I too, have parent's that stayed married 55 yrs. until my father's death & am sad to say that my first marriage, with two children, did not last. Divorce is like a death & causes sometimes a longer grief period. Is there any advice you can give to those of us that remarry and have adult children that are bitter from the grief of divorce?

I think it is Gods way of placing His arms around us and holding us until the grief eases. Those people he places in our life ... those ears, those shoulders, my husbands gentle touch ... are almost like Gods own ears, shoulders and touch. I'm so thankful for those people because through them, God SHOWERS me in His love! Great blog today, Dan! I've been reading Corinthians this week!
