Dear Lord…
Thank You so much, my kind and loving Heavenly Father, for giving me such a blessed season down here on earth with Maxie. She was by far the most loving and best friend that I have ever known in my entire life. What a gift, O Lord! She loved, worried, and watched over me, Father, as You alone know, through some of the deepest and darkest trials of my life. Yes indeed, thank You, Kind Sir, so very much. You brought her into my life just when I needed her most. These fourteen years that you’ve entrusted her to me have meant all. Hold her close now, Dear Lord, please hold her very close for me. It hurts so much, Father, so very much does it hurt, to know that I won’t be able to love her again this side of heaven’s bright shore. Yet even though the reasons are such a deep mystery to me, I do know that You, Sir, are in control and that everything You allow is only for good. So until then I humbly bow to You and faithfully ask You, my Father, to take my hand, to grant me a comfort that only You can give, and to lead me as I journey down through this dark valley of grief. It is in Your Blessed Name, my Lord Jesus that I pray…
Amen
