A Word of Comfort for Your Grieving Heart: A Gentle Reminder

It started as a personalized sympathy card designed to be shared to comfort and encourage friends and family grieving a loss. It sat on my desktop for over a year, forgotten about (which is a good thing because that means there have not been many deaths experienced).

While cleaning my desktop, I found the file and could not delete it. In one day, it went from being a sympathy card to becoming a short and simple book yet powerful in maintaining its original purpose-to comfort the grieving heart with gentle reminders of the Promises of God. The size of the book was purposely chosen and designed to be easily shared as a gift.

Over the years, many have opted to gift a traditional sympathy card because of not knowing what to say. We would pick a card appealing to the sight, read over it, and decide whether it was what we wanted to sign our name to and give. Now we have another choice option - a mini book that speaks of hope and rest in the promises of God for our deceased loved ones - promises that we can hold onto because God cannot lie, nor fail.

Gifting this book, or even using the Bible Verses shared within when speaking to the one grieving, conveys a more personal, heartfelt, and intimate concern for the heart of the one we are reaching out to comfort.

It is a gift that will be treasured for years to come - read, reread, and maybe even shared. You might want to get two books - one for gifting and one for your personal use.
