Loss provides an opportunity to take inventory of our lives, to reconsider priorities, and to determine new directions.

Gerald Lawson Sittser Author

I see now that my faith was becoming an ally rather than an enemy because I could vent anger freely, even toward God, without fearing retribution.

Gerald Lawson Sittser Author

Loss is like a closed road that forces us to turn around and find another way to our destination. Who knows what we will discover and see along the way.

Gerald Lawson Sittser Author

I did not get over the loss of my loved ones; rather, I absorbed the loss into my life, like soil receives decaying matter, until it became a part of who I am.

Mostly it is loss which teaches us about the worth of things.

Arthur Schopenhauer Philosopher

When in the wondrous realms above Our Saviour had been called upon, To save our world of sin by love, He said, "Thy will, O Lord, be done.' The Kings of kings left worlds of light, Became the meek and lowly one; In brightest day or darkest night He said, "Thy will, O Lord, be done." No crown of thorns, no cruel cross Could make our great Redeemer shun. He counted his own will but loss, And said, "Thy will, O Lord, be done." We take the bread and cup this day, In memory of the Sinless One, And pray for strength, That we may say, As he, "Thy will, O Lord, be done."
