A Time For Every Season

There is a time for every season under heaven.  

My heart is full of sadness tonight.  

One event two people.

The cycle of life.

My friend is experiencing the worst 

Night mare a parent could experience.

The lose of a child. An adult child.

My heart aches for her as I have witnessed her

Suffering and her pain.

With my deep faith in God, I still tremble when

Something like this happens.  Oh, why, oh why?

But, I know that the great God of this Universe

Knows the "whys". . .He know ALL.

And He know her broken heart, he will heal

He will mend. There is no question about that.

A Great-Grandpa is dying. . His journey is complete

His loss will be profound, and he will be missed.

Tears are shed, good-byes are said.

At the edge of his night the beauty of death is evident.

A long life. . .A loving family. . Dear friends.

All part of the journey of Life.

So at the end of the day and in the quiet of my home.

I bow my head, and ask for mercy and love.

I thankfully ask the Lord for His tender mercies to be

Upon me and my family.  

May His strength be my mantle.

May I firmly stand on His sure foundation.

May I trust in His wisdom and 

May I know that He Is God.

If I had never suffered pain and heartache 

How could I know of His tender love

And His Power to Heal and Make whole again.
