ReplyDeletePraying for and the family tomorrow, funerals are never easy, but they seem so much harder when it's a child.
Blessings
Let us know how you went. Personally, I'd advise NOT trying to proofread while watching TV, though. :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Simone,
ReplyDeletePraying for you.
And a poem for you.
~ Meredith
Child of My love, lean hard,
And let Me feel the pressure of thy care,
I know thy burden, child; I shaped it,
Poised in Mine own hand, made no proportion
In its weight to thine unaided strength;
For even as I laid it on I said,
"I shall be near, and while she leans on Me,
This burden shall be Mine, not hers;
So shall I keep My child within the circling arms,
Of Mine own love." Here lay it down, nor fear
To impose it on a shoulder which upholds
The government of worlds. Yet closer come,
Thou art not near enough; I would embrace thy care,
So I might feel My child reposing on My breast.
Thou lovest me? I know it. Doubt not, then,
But, loving Me, lean hard.

Thanks. We're through.
ReplyDeleteMeredith - I like the word 'lean'. I might steal it some time.
