When we were in the hosptial, Pastor Jan gave us a sign that said "May every sunrise bring more promise and every sunset bring more peace." This resonated so closely with us at the time and continued to after their deaths.
One day this summer I really wanted to paint pottery, but didn't know what to paint. I decided I would try to paint a sunrise. (I'm not an artist. I express myself through music, NOT through drawing or painting. Most of my pottery paintings are stenciled or are more designs, not freehand, but I was feeling moved) I found a picture online that I used as my guide and I think the finished result turned out beautifully. It's a great reminder that even in death, even in grief, even at our low points, the sun still rises, God still grants us a new, beautiful day.
