i can't help but think of those ...
I can’t help but think …
I can’t help but think of those who feel pain on this day
(and every passing day).
Those who have waited and wondered, and wondered and waited.
Those who are still wondering and still waiting.
Those who have cried and prayed, “Why?”
Those who have felt pain and shame.
Those who have heard time and time again, “It’s going to be okay.”
Those who have endured sleepless nights and never-ending days.
Those who dream of the day they are called mom.
Those who are tired of feeling like something is wrong.
I can’t help but think of those who feel as though their prayers and questions have been met with silence.
I can’t help but think of those who hurt on a day when the world celebrates.
And although I do not know your pain, I know there is a promise that remains.
He will draw near through the fear and His love will endure through what is unclear.

With hope,
