I am moved by your poem about a sad event that will end in a time of rejoicing when we get to heaven.

Hi Grace,

What a beautiful reminder of all the Lord is showing his children! May we have eyes to see that when we all get to heaven, what a day of rejoicing that will be!

Wow! Understanding the back story makes this so powerful.

"Is there something beautiful in such frailty?

Can’t you feel the Creator cupping this world

In His hands, gently, gently

As He whispers our stories into being?"

This stanza felt like balm to my heart.

Love you, Daddy! Thank you, sweet daughter. "Inward groaning, eager longing for hope to be fully revealed and realized and enjoyed in the escalated-eschatological-exalted-eternal-embodied-Edenic-existence with our good and wise and powerful Triune God (Rom. 8:23-25, 2 Cor. 4:16-18). Amen.
