I attended my first funeral post-Covid (and my dad’s funeral) and I made it through! As I was sitting there listening to the eulogy, I began to think of the dash. You know the dash between the day you were born and the date you will pass away. What are you doing with your dash? I know we don’t necessarily like to think of our death, but that day is inevitable. When the day comes, what will be said about you? Will people speak of your kind works? How you helped others? Will they say you were intentional about sharing the love of God?

Moving Forward!
As I was thinking of what to write for this week, I went back to forgiveness. Sometimes or many times it’s not just about us forgiving other people, but forgiving ourselves. We often struggle with forgiving ourselves from past mistakes or allowing certain situations to occur. I have found myself focusing on past mistakes, wishing I could have done things differently. I often have a pep talk with myself, “Bridgette the milk is spilt, you can only clean it and keep it moving; no sense in crying over the spilt milk.” Are there some things you haven’t let go?
