three Wednesdays of grace

     
       
              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 ~
                   August 6, 2014
                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"

  1. Love that song, heard it today as I ran. Prayers for comfort being said for you and your family. What a range of emotions.
