Feeling thankful for the steadiness that is found in Jesus.  The constancy of His goodness and grace, the faithfulness of His love and mercies, the solid rock that we can stand on when all else is washed away.  Came across a news story today of a young newly-wed wife who's husband was killed during an in-home robbery, just months after marrying and just months away from welcoming their first little boy into the world together.  I can't even imagine what that would be like, but the peace and security in the Lord that the young wife/and now mother shared reminded me of God's great faithfulness to His children.  Of the love that He pours over us, and how we sense it in an even greater way when we are forced to lean on Him.

Thank you, Lord, for... just being there.  For not leaving us to cope on our own, but walking with us and leading us through it all.
