Special events and celebrations may be a time of grief and sorrow due to the significant loss of a loved one through divorce, separation, or the passing away of a family member. Understandably, it may be difficult if not impossible for a family to be happy and cheerful.
Healing often depends on the level of compatibility that exists between family members. When there is mutual understanding and acceptance of each person’s emotional journey, coupled with abiding love and respect, then pathways to compatibility draw a family closer together.
Special events can be a time for remembering the past that may create sadness and grief, but also generate memories of happy times.
Hope for today comes by realizing the extent of God’s love and favor that he has demonstrated in the past. Acknowledging God’s presence brings joy and security for now and the future. Focus on this promise.

[O God, I will share my
memories] about all your goodness and sing about your kindness. [You are]
loving and merciful, slow to anger, and full of constant love.
