Life, they say, is filled with moments of absolute joy
and other times deep despair
I see this whenever I attend services to honor a loved one who died
Whereas, the grown-ups will be huddled in small circles of 4
sharing memories of their loved one
Children are playing cat and mouse on the Church lawn
Oblivious to the reality of the depth of their parent's soul
at such a moment as this
Whereas, grown-ups shed tears
Children want to play
It is a reminder to me how God protects the most vulnerable
from grieving
While embracing the grown-ups and walking with them
through the desolate valley
offering, at times, promises of His love
that He will bring you through the pain
and lift you up out of the depths of your soul
setting you, finally, on solid ground
where once
you can look back and see how God rescued you
Once you're healed from this grief
God will help you heal the children
who
years later are encountering their own depths of their soul
Finally,
you begin to see that your loving Father
has
a perfect plan for your life!
