Today is Friday, December 10th, 2021; Karen's Korner #4590

Maybe it is my age/our age. Maybe it is the virus. Maybe things go in streaks. But it seems there has been more diagnoses. More diseases. More deaths. In my world. Our world than I would like.

Here is the December 8th entry in "365 Days of Prayer for Women" (could be for men as well!):

NO MORE SORROW

"He will wipe every teat from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All these things are gone forever."

~ Revelation 21:4 NLT

"Tell me again, Abba. Tell me the story about heaven coming down to earth and how death and sadness and tears and pain will be gone forever. I love that story. I need that story, especially when grief sneaks up on my after months of silence. I will see them again. I will see them all again. Lord, I need that story when hatred too horrible to comprehend makes the headlines, and when people I love are hurting in a way I can't take away. God, I need that story as I need air to breathe. I look forward to the day it is more than just a story. In the meantime, remind me again of what is to come."

"Won't it be wonderful when sorrow, crying, pain, and death are gone forever?"
