Walking close to the Lord keeps me grounded on what's important. Yesterday, our house burgalized, however, the person who we suspect stole was not the person one would expect. We have hurricane impact doors so the hole that was made, was too small for someone to get and the crime scene investigator confirmed this, however, my mom's jewelry and some cash were gone. We believe that the police who walked thru our house to ensure no one was inside went to town on her stuff. The sadness comes not from being robbed, we know that when you acquire material things others will believe that they are entitled to it - one of the risk of owning stuff, the sadness is because someone who is suppose to protect violated us! While my mom is upset because the jewelry were custom made and personalized for her and some were made by my grandfather, I take solace in the fact that it will be near impossible to get any meaningful monies for them since she has an unusual spelling of her name and most of her jewelry had her name. Because of the Lord, we were able to remain clam thru this event and instead of becoming victims, we are going thru the grief process and realize, we still have what is important the memories of the jewelry and each other. And in a few days our sense of security will return.
How does the Lord help you get thru a difficult period?
