It is so easy to get caught up in the "busyness" of life and forget what is really important.MJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15105244449361269412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5745814378416915364.post-9261743760821830842017-10-18T07:01:51.463-07:002017-10-18T07:01:51.463-07:00What a lovely and thoughtful post, Father.
I have...What a lovely and thoughtful post, Father.<br /><br />I have experienced love and loss from various family members, friends, dogs, and cats.<br /><br />It isn't the sad memories that hurt and make us miss someone. It is the happy memories.<br /><br />Something my husband told me when a beloved pet died sticks with me and applies to people, too. The family member, friend, or pet made us very happy and loved us. But we also made their lives better by loving them and making them happy. Their lives wouldn't have been the same without us.<br /><br />God throws us together for a reason - families, friends, parishioners, pastors, and beloved pets. If we display love and forgiveness, the relationship is enriched. If not, it becomes a bitter memory. I would rather have the happy memories, even if thinking about them after someone dies is painful.<br /><br />God bless you and all here - Susan, ofs Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
