Years ago our good friends’ infant son died and left a gaping hole in their hearts. And as God would have it, within a few months the baby’s grandmother died too.
It was loss on loss, yet God gave my friend His Joy, it was incomprehensible.
After a few months, my friend asked her husband, “ Do you think we will ever be happy again?” He wisely replied, “It will be a different happiness, a deeper happiness.”
Oh how blessed to live under God’s provision of Joy – that is greater than grief.

Nehemiah 8:10 Do not grieve, for the joy of the LORD is your strength.
