Wounds

I believe broken hearts are a lot like deep wounds. So say you got a deep cut on your hand. It certainly wouldn't heal over night. It would take some time  to begin to heal. It would get a scab on it after a few days. Then you begin to use your hand again and you might knock the scab off. So now you have to start the healing process over again. Eventually thru the natural healing process it will get well. It certainly did not get well over night, did it? It's the same way with our hearts...... After Jeff went to be with the Lord, it took me about 14 months to begin to breath again. I didn't realize I wasn't breathing though until I started breathing again. I don't even remember the first month after he left. I continued to do everything I had done, thinking I was alright. But then it was like the Lord took the lid off of a dark box and the light came shining in!! Wow....Wow!!! I laughed for a solid three month. I would be sitting in church and just begin to laugh for no apparent reason and I couldn't stop. The healing had come. The grief was gone. But remember I said I was still doing everything I used to do. I didn't lock myself in my room. I wanted too, but I didn't. I surrounded myself with my Smiles when the days were too much to handle. That was the medicine God used to heal my wound. I didn't keep it all bottle up inside of me. My precious daughters and my son and son-in-law were there to let me vent. So I guess what I'm trying to say is, we can heal if we let HIM in our life to heal us.

Psalms 147:3 "He heals the brokenhearted, and binds up their wounds."
