Laura-
Great post, someone once told me to think about things with the perspective of “what will this mean to mean 5 years from now” It really makes a difference when you look at the big picture. I know you will never regret staying, not one bit!
Praying for you and your family.

Laura, we prayed for you and your family during the worship time at my office this morning. We prayed that God will comfort you and give you hope even amid tragedy.

An excellent bit of wisdom!

When my father in law died a couple of years ago, I was worried about all the extra cash that was going out. We had to get a hotel room, some dry cleaning, food, etc. We had rent due and I was getting worried. My husband wisely advised me that God would take care of everything…

Wouldn’t you know that our church took up a love offering for us that was almost exactly equal to the amount that we had spent? It’s just amazing the ways that He takes care of us!

Thank you so much for this post! I am so very sorry for your loss.

My family is going through a tough time too, as my MIL has just been diagnosed with cancer. I am going to share these thoughts with my husband today.

Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them.

Thank you for the reminder on perspective. I need to tape it to the bathroom mirror so I don’t forget! I tend to lose focus so easily sometimes.
