Today I'm linking up with my blog friend, Tesha. Her post for today is one that I can relate to a bit and it is regarding becoming offended in the face of loss. There really haven't been too many things that have yet offended me following the loss of our Solveig, but there certainly have been a few. I think people sometimes say or do things (or don't do or say things I wish that they would) and they don't intend to hurt my feelings but they do. I'm trying so hard to not take these issues personally, because I know that they are most likely not meant to be taken that way. I'm praying for God to give me grace in my dealings with others, whether it's related to our loss or just in every day life. We all need grace! And we all need help to remember to choose kindness. I'm NOT perfect in this way, believe me...but I long to be more whole in my spirit. Only by God's grace can I extend grace to another.
Tesha wrote a great post about these types of things. You can read about it here! Thanks for sharing your honesty, Tesha.
If you're new to my blog, you can read more about the loss of our daughter Solveig Sofia by clicking on some of the labels or posts on the right hand sidebar. Fancier blog layout hopefully to come in the future... :)

Stopping by to say Hello. It has been a good while since we have talked. :) I hope all is well with your family. I love your post today. I am so glad that you pray for grace to deal with others. I should try this as well. I do have problems with people accidentally offending me. I know the Lord can take away all of that pain and help me to get through.
Have a Great Tuesday Melody!
