We sang this song at church last Sunday. Hopefully, it brings you comfort and joy. Here is the link to Aaron’s video. My Savior My God I am not skilled to understandWhat God has willed, what God has plannedI only know at His right handStands One who is my Savior I take Him at His… ... mehr auf joyreturns.com
This Bible explains what I want to happen at Charlie Kirk’s Memorial tomorrow. May everyone leave filled with the Holy Spirit more than ever before. And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. 3 And divided tongues as of fire appeared to them and rested[a] on&... mehr auf joyreturns.com
This poem comes from the book From The Best Loved Poems of the American People, which was part of my Mom’s book collection. I remember reading this book as a kid. No Funeral Gloom NO FUNERAL GLOOM, my dear, when I am gone, corpse gazings, tears, black raiment, graveyard grimness, Think of me as withdrawn… ... mehr auf joyreturns.com
While I found movie quotes that can be used as encouragement for helping widows move forward with life, they were not appropriate for this weekend. This quote by Charles Spurgeon felt right since it feels as though we’ve been thrown around this week. 1 Rock of Ages, cleft for me,let me hide myself in thee;let… ... mehr auf joyreturns.com
I had another post scheduled for today. But with Charlie Kirk’s assassination, the post did not seem appropriate at this time. The assassination is a stark reminder of how WE THE PEOPLE are NOT united. Only God can unite us. I believe He will, for He is filled with love, grace, mercy, and healing. if… ... mehr auf joyreturns.com
HAPPY NATIONAL AMPERSAND DAY Did anyone know that September 8th is always National Ampersand Day or did you, like me, learn something new? The & sign originates from a combination of the Latin letters “e” and “t,” which together mean “and.” And we know from School House Rock (Conjunction Junction) that “and” is a conjunction;…... mehr auf joyreturns.com
Today’s movie quote is another reason why widows should not focus on the past. It is from the movie Ratatouille. Whoever thought you could learn a life lesson from a rat who is trying to become a chef? “If you focus on what you left behind, you will never be able to see what lies… ... mehr auf joyreturns.com
Today’s wisdom comes from movie quotes. You might find uplifting movie quotes all month. However, I did not find enough uplifting ones – yet. Today’s quote describes widows who move forward with life while grieving. “The flower that blooms in adversity is the most rare and beautiful of all.” by Mulan the original per a…... mehr auf joyreturns.com
This post was planned and is in no way an attempt to take advantage of yesterday’s tragic school shooting. Today’s list will be the last one for awhile. I have other ideas in mind, but those will probably be published in January. We will need something to liven up our mood while cooped up during… ... mehr auf joyreturns.com
This post is dedicated to my late Aunt P. who loved opera. She attends every concert Pavarotti gives up there in heaven. Love and miss you Auntie.

Welcome to the first funeral song list. When I did lists 14 years ago there were only two, one for movie fanatics and one for musicians. This year, there will be at least four lists. Please note that these lists are not exhaustive. I’m sure there were several I unintentionally left out. The following selections… ... mehr auf joyreturns.com
This is one of the hymns Elvis Presley recorded. Since today is the 48th anniversary of his passing, I felt it was only appropriate to use this hymn today. Bio: Michele Kearns is the founder and HUG© (Hope Unites Globally) Award-Winner of JoyReturns. She shares her adventures, hoping to inspire widows to move through grief and… ... mehr auf joyreturns.com
Starting next Tuesday, August 19, 2025, you will see posts about my suggestions for funeral music encompassing various categories. These are only MY suggestions. The lists are not exhaustive.

I was going to post something else today, something inspired by my cousin (technically a 2nd, 3rd, or 4th cousin). However, thanks to The Daily Grace Co’s Bible Study on James, I was led to post this instead. Upon hearing bad news, you’ve often said “I will pray.” But you’ve felt as though prayer was… ... mehr auf joyreturns.com
I left Walmart today in tears, and this time it wasn’t because the fresh ginger was $3.98 a pound (it was, and I’ll probably end up throwing most of it out, again) or that so many of the plants on … Continue reading →... mehr auf k8edid.wordpress.com
There’s a place I will go. And when I get there, people I have wronged, and people who did me wrong, will greet me. We will embrace. We will not know tears. We will know the truth of love and the truth of our journeys. There will be understanding like we’ve never known. The sorrows […]... mehr auf bikecolleenbrown.wordpress.com

I had started a blog on my laptop to publish yesterday but my brain kept getting foggy and couldn’t focus. I knew if I forced myself to write, it would come out crappy. Now it is after 2 am.

Six weeks ago my world tilted off balance. It still doesn’t feel righted, and I don’t think it ever will. It was an ordinary day. An ordinary Monday.

Yesterday, I finished a study entitled Arise, A study on the book of Nehemiah by The Daily Grace Co. Since Nehemiah rebuilt Jerusalem’s wall, I decided to read the book of Ezra. He is the one who rebuilt the Temple. Both Ezra and Nehemiah were praying men. I had to chuckle when reading the last… ... mehr auf joyreturns.com

I feel so bad that I didn’t notice any signs of illness in our fur baby, Salem. With multiple cats, it’s hard to keep track of the comings and goings in the litter box.

Shortly after I first started blogging, I found Ferree Hardy’s website – Widows Christian Place. GriefShare was listed as a resource so I knew this was a good site. Ferree and I became friends and have corresponded with each other throughout the years. Most recently she was writing about and sharing other widow’s butterfly stories... mehr auf joyreturns.com
I am fifteen feet from a harp, and behind the harp sits a harpist. And from that harp comes the most exquisite emotion. I don’t think there have ever been words created that echo emotion like music does. From this harp this emotion floats out to surround us. It weaves around, above and through us.

I sat at your grave today. I didn’t cry. I do remember standing here years ago, in a downpour. A downpour like I had never experienced before, or since. I cried then. I sobbed then. Uncontrollably.

Many years ago I met a man. He was a gentle, soft spoken and kind man. The more I got to know him the more beautiful he became in my eyes. Though he was advanced in age, when I think of him now, I envision a strong and youthful man. He had never married. […]... mehr auf bikecolleenbrown.wordpress.com
