Monday's Mourning Ministry
The Compassionate Friends/USA
http://bit.ly/8Dosa
I joined The Compassionate Friends/USA Facebook group this past week! (See website address above.) Compassionate Friends is a group of people who have in common the death of one or more of their own children; it is a place for grieving parents who best understand one another's pain to go to find comfort, compassion, and understanding amidst our terrible grief.
This week, I have done less blogging as I have been spending time writing to new friends I have met there. Several of these new friends have begun to follow my blog, and I welcome you! May God use my words to touch your pain and to surround you with His healing presence.
To my Compassionate Friends:
May He cover you with His feathers, and under His wings may you find refuge.

Searching the Bible on Behalf of us Bereaved Parents as we Grieve Our Great Loss…
He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the Lord,
“He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God in whom I trust.”
He will cover you with His feathers,
and under His wings you will find refuge;
His faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
Psalm 91:1,2,4

Then Came the Morning!
Then Came the Morning!
Lyrics
They all walked away, with nothing to say;
They'd just lost their dearest friend.
And all that He said, now He was dead,
So this was the way it would end.
The dreams they had dreamed,
Were not what they seemed,
Now He was dead and gone.
The garden, the jail,
The hammer, the nail,
How could a night be so long?
(chorus)
Then came the morning,
Night turned into day.
The stone was rolled away,
Hope rose with the dawn.
Then came the morning,
Shadows vanished before the sun.
Death had lost and Life had won,
For morning had come!
The angel, the star,
The kings from afar;
The wedding,
The water, the wine…
And now it was done,
They'd taken her son,
Wasted before His time.
She knew it was true,
Because she'd watched him die too,
She'd heard them call Him just a man.
Oh, but deep in her heart,
She knew from the start,
Somehow her Son would live again!
Then came the morning,
Night turned into day.
The stone was rolled away,
Hope rose with the dawn.
Then came the morning,
Shadows vanished before the sun.
Death had lost and Life had won,
For morning had come!
Death had lost and Life had won,
For morning had come!
Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection and the life.
He who believes in Me will live, even though he dies.
John 11:25 NIV
If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are to be pitied more than all men. But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man. For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive. But each in his own turn: Christ, the firstfruits; then, when He comes, those who belong to Him.
I Corinthians 15:19-23 NIV
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In His great mercy He has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade--kept in Heaven for you, who through faith are shielded by God's power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time.
In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials.
I Peter 1:3-6 NIV
