Shannon L. AlderWhen someone you love says goodbye you can stare long and hard at the door they closed and forget to see all the doors God has open in front of you.
About This Quote
This quote is a great way to explain that sometimes we need to move on when someone you love says they are leaving. One of the most powerful things in life is when you are with someone who is truly your best friend. You are happy, excited, and excited for the future together. Then one day your friend is gone forever.
You are left to wonder if you will ever find anyone who is truly your friend again. However, God has more for us in this life than just our friends. He has plans for us that involve others.
And in the days following the death of a loved one, there are doors in front of you that will make you forget about all the ones that have passed in front of you before.
