sometimes
the body is exhausted
the mind confused
the spirit weary
the heart sad
three Wednesdays
each one stands alone
yet each one connected
first Wednesday ~
July 23, 2014
a severely broken arm
as my dad tried to do
what his body could no longer do ~
stand up
second Wednesday ~
July 30, 2014
his earthly body left behind
as he entered his forever home ~
heaven
third Wednesday ~

celebration of new life
as my son and his wife welcomed
a precious baby boy
emotions tangled
the heart a blur of colors
bleeding into one another
impossible to discern
where one ends and the other begins
yet each emotion
each tear
each smile
each laugh
are wrapped securely
in the arms of Jesus
tied with vibrant colors
of hope
"no guilt in life no fear in death
this is the power of Christ in me
from life's first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
no power of hell no scheme of man
could ever pluck me from His hand
til He returns
or calls me home
here in the power of Christ
I'll stand"
Love that song, heard it today as I ran. Prayers for comfort being said for you and your family. What a range of emotions.
