“Covered Mercies” Available this March 2021.
I’m sorry my Saturday posts have been sporadic. Editing a book is real work. The book cover always gives me sleepless nights, because out of my six books only one was approved by Kindle Direct Publishing on the first upload. I still have so much to learn as my own publisher!
Below is a snippet of “Covered Mercies”.
What amazes me even now is, in the early grief years, no one was rude or unkind. Strangers like the grocery clerk, the waitress, or the gas station attendant acted as though they knew I had lost a child. Family members kept in contact with me. At first, I didn’t know what to make of it. Later I understood a protective covering of God’s bubble of love surrounded me.
As I look back, I realize this was God’s gift to me, for my soul was at war in an intense battle. There were many times I no longer wanted to live. But I longed to please my Lord and not take matters into my own hands.
God was everywhere as I sorrowed for my child.
You are God
You are God and I am not,
Oh, Lord, my nerves are strung too taut.
Help me to hope,
Through this sorrowful slope.
Teach me as I ought,
That You are God and I am not.
“For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made . . .” (Romans 1:20).
