This post was supposed to make it out on Thanksgiving but well it didn't. Isn't not that there aren't items to post- stories to tell, I starts drafts again and again -just sometimes the words don't come. So I have a pile of drafts and today with a spare min I thought, I must sit and write.
I think the thought would be "life is hard, but God is good," might capture a small picture of the last few weeks. Thanksgiving was good, good to be with family and celebrate together yet Thanksgiving was hard with tears threatening to drop most of the day. Even though there is so much to be grateful for holidays are vivid reminders that our precious Micah is no longer with us. And while I am not sad for him, since he is truly healed now, there are times that for me the sorrow rushes on like a flood.
My sorrow has also been compounded as our friends lil baby, Alivia, went to be with the Lord early November. Oh we grieve with them and yet we are so deeply inspired by them. They too encourage our heart as they grieve with ones who have much hope. This dear couple, Dave & Heather, made meals for us, wrote letters and emails and prayed for us as ~ well for so long ~ as we cared for our boy and well our lil ones are together with Jesus. We now pray for comfort and strength them.
I can almost here Micah telling Alivia, "Wook at tat, wook at tat," as his eyes are wide with wonder at the glory he beholds at each turn.
So now as we approach "the most wonderful time of the year" even is some sadness we can truly rejoice as it is most wonderful, for Jesus was born, born to live and to die. To die for the forgiveness of sins for those who believe on him. Oh how great is our God! For now we will no longer be separated because of sin but shall spend eternity together. What a grand, grand thought!
~Hope for Heaven & Home~
Rev 21:4 He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”
