Jenny Marrs is finding comfort in the fall season while navigating a “weary heart” these days. See how the HGTV star is finding light and joy while working through grief.
Jenny Marrs Gives Fans a Look at the Family Farm in Autumn
On November 6, Marrs took to Instagram to share her view of the farm, peaceful and beautiful with animals quietly grazing amid the changing foliage.
“Autumn on the farm is my favorite. The vibrant colors on the trees basking in the early morning sunshine bring delight,” she wrote in the caption. “The leaves will soon be gone, but the trees never despair or fret. They stand strong, displaying their beauty with confidence. 🍂”
Marrs shared, “As I took in my front porch view this morning, I found an old journal entry this morning and wanted to share as it spoke to my own weary heart: And, may those of us currently in the midst of our own long walk through the arid, scorching wilderness find comfort in knowing God sees us. He knows we are weary, He knows we are exhausted and parched. I pray we each receive a fresh spring of living water this morning, a gentle nudge toward rest. May He abundantly bless us with sustenance today, and tomorrow, and the day after. Until this long march is over, may we find our rest in Him.”
Fans lit up the comments section, thanking Marrs for this perspective. “Beautiful view and beautiful words!!” one fan noted.
Another person shared, “Just really needed to hear this today, thank you so much! God bless you and your family.”
“You all have been through a lot lately! Praying for your family,” another fan commented. “May the Lord’s perfect peace that is beyond comprehension guard your mind and your heart today! He is your rock and refuge and light and salvation and He holds your future (Ps 16). What a blessed hope we have.”
Jenny Marrs Shared Heartbreaking Family Loss
On November 4, Marrs shared the heartbreaking news that her grandmother had passed away.
“I can only imagine the joyous reunion that took place last night. Nana and Papa were separated earthside for way too long, she remained ever devoted to their love as she stayed behind and cared for all of us,” the HGTV star wrote. “All those years separated must feel like a blink now that they’re together for Eternity.”
She continued, “My Nana loved generously and laughed often. She was a southern belle who remained fiercely strong, feisty and so beautiful until her final breath. She was larger than life, the world seemed to orbit around her, like the sun. Everyone — including all my friends from childhood — wanted to be near her. It doesn’t feel real that she could be gone. I want to call her and tell her ‘I love you more’ because then I could hear her say ‘not possible, I love you the mostest.'”
Marrs added, “Clinging to the promise that someday ‘there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain’ (Rev 21:3) because, right now, the sorrow feels immense. I’ll love you more for always, Nana. Rest easy (and thank you for giving Donna that big hug for me).”
One day earlier, Marrs shared a post that touched on how much loss her family has endured this year.
“In the past six months, our family has grieved the passing of ones we love so very dearly,” she shared. “It feels a bit like when I was a kid in the ocean, stuck in a riptide. The waters of grief swirling while my mind and body are disoriented, my footing impossible to find.”
The HGTV star noted, “I can see the sun shining through the murky water, but I can’t seem to break the surface and come up for air.”
May God’s peace see you through the intense time of grieving. It never goes away, but gets easier to bear with time. Rest in God’s promise of being united with Nana again in Heaven. God bless you.
Condolences are being sent to you and all your family to lesson the grief of her passing..Plus God’s in your corner and this also will help..God Bless.
