Our sermon yesterday was about carrying one another’s burdens.   It really got me thinking about all the people that have carried my burden of loosing Blake.  I can’t thank my family and friends enough for this special gift.  I’m truly amazed when I look back over the last 3 years and 3 months how God so carefully placed His people in my path.  I’m so blessed to have these special people in my life.  My heart smiles every time I hear someone tell a story or share a memory of that sweet boy of mine. I’m so thankful he has not been forgotten.  When Blake first died, I was so worried that his life would be forgotten.  My prayer was that his memory would live on….thank you Jesus for answering that prayer.

A sweet friend of mine told me about sharing Blake’s story on the beach with some college students from Wisconsin.  I love how Blake’s story is being shared everywhere….”Tell the world about Jesus” was Blake’s desire and even though he’s gone, people are telling his story!  A bracelet from Blake’s Run was given to these college students…there’s something so amazing when you pull that bracelet off and place it on someone’s arm.  God is God-every moment!!!

I know I will never “get over” Blake’s death, but I have learned to live, survive and even thrive with the Lord’s help.  I have a longing for Heaven like never before.  But until the Lord calls me home, I will “Tell the world about Jesus” and how He has walked every moment of every day with me!!

To carry another persons burden his a huge undertaking, but when we do this it pleases the Lord.  “Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.”  Galatians 6:2

Today I choose JOY!!
