Darkness into Light

Last year was an extremely hard year for me. I attended five funerals, two of which were within one week apart. Many people have died during my lifetime, people my parents knew, but aside from when my uncle passed when I was in 4th grade, last year, I have a personally tie to each person who passed. Some were tragic, some for old age. Generally, I don't have a hard time moving on or letting go, but each funeral was hard for me to deal with.

Since last year, this year has been much lighter, but this morning, reality hit me again as I woke up to news to about the tragic death of a dear friend's colleague/friend. A young man of 25 died on his birthday. And although my only connection to this late young man is my friend, I can't help but be reminded of how painful it is to lose people we know.

For some reason, whenever I am facing loss, two songs always come to mind. One is "This is my Father's World" and the other is "Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus". They are near and dear songs to me and God has lifted me up from so many tough circumstances in my life. I couldn't find a version of "This is my Father's World" that fit the way I generally sing it but here's "Turn Your Eyes...":
