It is all........

 

…..love held in suspense awaiting those precious words, “I will” 

…..the moment a child arrives and parents are born

…..when kneeling beside my children in silent prayer of thanksgiving  

…..a brother is found  

 

.....a parent is healed 

…..life-long broken heartedness is repaired with three simple words, “please forgive me”  

…..when one gets to the bottom of oneself and arrives at the beginning of God 

…..a precious friend hears the news, “the cancer is leaving” 

…..the sound of ocean waves on the spot where God lives in one’s heart 

 

…..the judge gifting family to us in the form of our nephew and niece 

…..the laughter of my children and my children’s children yet to come 

…..a Daddy and Mama whose hearts live now and will continue living then 

…..childhood friends whose memories keep yours in check…..with laughter 

…..celebrating the lives of those who made your own life a gift 

…..human-kind when we choose love and service over all other things 

…..knowing when to speak and when to grow silent

…..humble acceptance of all things, trusting…..and trusting again 

…..a husband whose love covers in ways no soft-warm blanket ever could 

…..souls who come into your life and draw out your most holy self 

…..our love letter from God 

…..the sweetness which comes from HIS sacrificial giving for MY surrendered living 

It is all…….
