Five Minute Friday: After
I didn’t realize….
The gifts my parents truly gave me…
The joy of journaling on a pond behind my childhood home…
The sweetness of splashing feet into a cold stream with my best
friend, Beth…
The kindness of a Grandmother who listened…
The tenderness of a young man’s love…
The joyfulness of motherhood….
The sorrow losing a child cannot hold…
The brokenness a failed marriage brings…
The healing our Father is able to provide…
The meaning of a covenant with God…
Until After…..
I
grew a faith which was their gift to me….
I
found my journals all boxed and ready to share with my daughter
I
had to walk through life without her by my side
I
heard her sweet words running through my head
I
found his love again as an adult…
I spent twenty-three years becoming their
mother…
I
understood that there are some Gifts from God which last only moments
I accepted
that there is some brokenness only God can heal…
I
saw that our Faithful Father heals all things….in His time…not ours…
I
believed and understood that we live this live…our marriages…our parenting in
faithful covenant with a God who is the KEEPER of COVENANTS…
Lovely sentiments...and you are so right...lots of our wisdom comes after tough times. Lovely.
ReplyDeleteYou words are so true. It is amazing how smart my parent became once I became a parent myself. So much wisdom has come with each year I have lived and experienced. (linking from FMF)
