Blessed are Those Who Mourn

Blessed are Those Who Mourn "Blessed are the poor in spirit, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. In my blog posts in days gone by, I didn't feel like I could write about the experience of mourning with an authenticity because there had been few that had passed away. More recently, our family lost 5 dear relatives, aunts, my brother and a friend, in about 6  months. Dear people that we loved, that were a part of our life were suddenly gone after years of being a part of our lives. What remains is an emptiness of connection without them. It is so important for family and friends to comfort one another in their loss. And if you are in grief right now not only lean on family and friends; but also you can seek the LORD in your grieving heart for comfort. Here are some verses you can look upon. "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God." 2 Corinthians 1:3,4 NKJ
