Thank you for connecting “for now” and “not yet.” I watched those two episodes as well, and am hearing the words in a new way as I walk with family and friends through some tough days.
The word “always” is alternately terrifying and comforting... for now and not yet allow me to hold both in tension (or find that tensile point again). Also, pretty sure they are the secret sauce behind so many psalms. 🤓
"Not yet" would have been so helpful to me during the years when my son was struggling with so many issues. I did get through it all living "one day at a time." To look ahead seemed so frightening. We were fortunate, it all ended wonderfully, but at the time there did not seem to be much hope for that. Thank you for this.

That's difficult work... blessings as you walk with loved ones, Julie.

Glad it's helpful, Laura...
