Sometimes, life has a way of knocking the wind out of us, suddenly and without warning.
Hi Neighbor,
How do you navigate those unexpected changes or losses that shake your world?
Over time, I’ve learned to find steady ground through simple practices, prayer, journaling, or even a quiet walk outside. In the midst of grief, these anchors have become pockets of peace.
I’ve also come to lean on the people in my life, my anchors. Friends who listen, support, and encourage me when life is difficult.
In today’s episode, I reflect on the sudden loss of a dear friend, Shannon, one of those anchors who passed away without warning.
His life reminds me of the kind of steady, hopeful presence, and anchor we all need.
Anchors of hope and healing are on the way.
Your Neighbor,
Tim
P.S My thoughts and prayers are with Shannon’s wife, Dana, and the entire family. Though there will be tears, sorrow, and pain now, Shannon knew that one day God will wipe away every tear.
