A Song:
Oh, Lord You know that we feel pain
And Lord You know that our hearts break
But You are God & we lean into You
You’re our God & You will see us through….
It’s hard to see past our own pain
It’s hard to see that the sun’ll shine again
But Lord we know that You are King
And as we lean into You, You’ll see us through….
We don’t have to fear tomorrow
We don’t have to fear our own sorrows
Because as we grieve, Lord, You are King
And as we lean into You, You will see us through….
As we lean into You, You will see us through
So, we lean into You, Lord please see us through.
A Hope for Tomorrow
We had a family member pass away this last week. We are still learning a new normal, but we know that as we lean into God, He will give us strength, peace, comfort, & hope for a new tomorrow. That is our prayer & our assurance.
Losing someone we love is never easy, but God is faithful as we lean into Him as our HOPE.
A Tribute:
A warrior through her life
Loving everyone through her storms
Doing her best to stand strong….
Kicked down by sickness,
But she kicked right back
Determined to carry on….
Her heart shone through
To all whom she knew
A vision of patience & love….
An advocate for her family
Letting them know they are loved
Always wrapping their hearts in a hug….
Now our dearly departed
But never forgotten
Dancing & whole & free….
Never again a tear
Her pain washed away
Praising her Father in Heaven….
Imagining her face
When she is finally faced
With her loving Heavenly Father….
She can run, she can dance
She feels no sickness or pain
She is whole & wholly loved by God….
We will miss her for sure,
Every memory of ours
Laced with sorrow & joy….
Sorrow at missing her presence
But joy in knowing she is Whole & Free
Dancing in the presence of Jesus….
But hope we have in this
We will see her again
In the presence of our Lord….
Praising Him with our every breath
Thanking Him for His grace
As He makes us whole in Him….
Whole & Happy & Free is she
And we will see her once again
When we someday join her in Heaven….
What a happy reunion it will be
No more tears, just loving joy
As we all hug together in love….
Surrounded by love
Wrapped up in grace
Singing to our precious Lord….
For God’s grace is a gift
He makes us whole,
He makes us free….
And for His grace
We will eternally praise
His wonderful, precious name.
