T'is a quiet time, this sitting here. I was watching the deer in my front yard, a little nervous by my presence,yet fairly happy to be given a few mouthfuls of oats.The chickadees and blue jays don't mind my hanging around...they are much bolder! My song of the winter they are! Ever cheerful, ever busy whatever happens in the world around them. I need them now..they remind me of God's constant faithfulness over us.Today is emotional. Jenn's mom passed away. What glory for her!! Oh to just rejoice in that, and long for that. Yet so much of us longs to be happy here, to keep our parents, children and loved ones around. So we grieve, not as the world, but grieve nonethe less. Jenn, my thoughts will be with you this day, my prayers, my songs, and the joy of creation. I am truly thankful for the gifts given by God, and praise Him that in the midst of sorrow Jenn may also treasure the gift of her new son, Jakin. I worry so much more for my brother..he has cancer, and he does not live for the Lord. He would rather believe in that which science can prove.What sorrow, what short sightedness. God has "proven" over and over again His power, majesty and glory, and then to give that up for mere science! My prayers are beseechings here, for change, for repentance, for humbling, that he be once again received into communion with God.So I pray that he be given that time..! What a difference with Jenn's mom..she is Home!
