As we march into spring (no pun intended) the calendar says it is time to clean up the debris winter leaves behind in preparation for the glories of summer living. On a personal level, though, this is easier said than done. The debris of broken relationships, loss of loved ones, and tragic life events cannot be swept away. In the past few weeks I have spoken to several people dealing with someone contemplating or completing suicide. There are no easy answers. Encouraging, comforting,offering a shoulder to cry on are things we can all do. Urging them to get help (counselors, etc.) is also critical.
My own personal source is my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I count on Him to hold me up, keep me strong so I can share my story and hopefully save lives.The bottom line is that you show compassion and take action, if necessary. There is no guarantee but a little slice of summer (hope) might enter their lives.
