Bible Gateway Verse of the Day
Psalm 143:10
Teach me to do Your will,
For You are my God,
Your Spirit is good.
Lead me in the land of the uprightness.
I started this blog soon after the death of my beautiful 17-year-old son, Hayden, as a way to deal with my grief. I titled it "Dear Hayden" because at first I wrote as if I was writing to him. My use of the word "dear" ended up being twofold: "used as an affectionate or friendly form of address" and "regarded with deep affection; cherished by someone." Many posts are saved quotes, song lyrics, Bible verses, poems, etc. with credit given to the actual authors as much as possible. Enjoy~

Strong?
Strong?
No, my dear,
I am far from it.
What you're seeing
is simply
a weak person
with a very
strong
God.

The dead shall live
Isaiah 21:19
Your dead shall live;
Together with my dead body they shall arise.
Awake and sing, you who dwell in dust;
For your dew is like the dew of herbs,
And the earth shall cast out the dead.
Your dead shall live;
Together with my dead body they shall arise.
Awake and sing, you who dwell in dust;
For your dew is like the dew of herbs,
And the earth shall cast out the dead.
The broken
by Zachry K. Douglas
The broken will always be able to love harder than most.
Once you have been in the dark, you learn to appreciate everything that shines.

Write it
by Ralph Waldo Emerson
He said, "Write it on your heart that every day is the best day of the year. He is rich who owns the day, and no one owns the day who allows it to be invaded with fret and anxiety. Finish every day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities, no doubt crept in. Forget them as soon as you can, tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely, with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old nonsense. This new day is too dear, with its hopes and invitations, to waste a moment on the yesterdays."

Healing

HEALING TAKES TIME.
There is a reason the Lord
waited 22 years to reunite Joseph
and his brothers.
THE LESSONS WERE FOUND
IN THE WAITING.
