Through our pain
Each other, we embrace
We all now meet
In this familiar place
Not ever knowing
Each other before
But through our children
That we adore
We light their candles
to ease the hurt
Keeping them shining
With words of comfort
Whether writing a tribute
In the early a.m.
Or something as short
As “I’m thinking of them”
Being so thankful
For the prayers that are said
And feeling all the hugs
through the words that are read.
The love that we send
And what it all means
How important it’s become
From people unseen.
~BLESSINGS~
"BLESSINGS CAN BE A LOVING SMILE,
OR EVEN A SOFT TENDER TOUCH,
A KIND WORD SOFTLY SPOKEN
THESE BLESSINGS MEAN SO MUCH.
BLESSINGS ARE A SPECIAL FRIEND,
BEING THERE IN TIME OF NEED,
LENDING A HAND AND ENCOURAGEMENT,
BY DOING A LOVING DEED.
BLESSINGS ARE WHEN SOMONE CARES,
WHEN OUR LIVES SEEM TO BE ADRIFT.
BLESSINGS ARE HEARING A PRAYER,
THAT GIVES OUR LIVES A LIFT.
BLESSINGS ARE KNOWING OUR GOD IS NEAR,
OUR EVERY PRAYER HE WILL HEAR!
GIVING US COMFORT, INSTEAD OF FEAR,
TRUSTING HIM WITH ALL WE HOLD DEAR"
Most of the battles of life
are won by looking beyond
the clouds to the sun.
And having patience
to wait for the day
when the sun comes out
and the clouds float away
One thing never changes,
It remains the same forever.
God truly loves His children
and He will forsake them never!
