Half Plus One

Half plus one

Years have past

Since heaven

Became your home.

Time's moved

Akwardly...

Hastily forward,

My dragging feet

Not willing to let

Time take you away.

"Stay still!"

Tomorrow is too far away

From you.

I often turn

To look again

At a child

That looks your age.

Walking, playing

Trying new words

I wonder if heaven's

Time's the same?

To my little girl

always in my heart.

Forever grateful for the gift of you

and the difference you have made.

(First verse & chorus dedicated to our little girl)

"Who can speak and have it

happen

if the Lord has not decreed it?

Is it not from the mouth of the Most High

that both calamities and

good things come?"

Lamentataions 3:38

Beyond the Veil

"for now we see in a mirror dimly and know only in part what, later, we will fully know." (1 Cor 13:12)

"In this hard world, there is disappointment and there is death and there is dark and

 is it all only hard when we are fooled into thinking this world is the only world we will ever get?"

"When He busted back that rock, He said there's another chapter to this story, so you can trust today's plot line and there's forever beyond now, so you can give thanks for right here, and for every dream seed we lay in the grave now, we are getting Jesus and new life and He promised there won't be tears."

(Ann Voskamp - blog 'A Holy Experience")

Beyond the Veil

there are two little girls running through fields

collecting meadow flowers,

Beauty surrounds them as laughter and chatter resound,

the two of them the closest of friends.

cared for by angels, held by Jesus, loved by family,

two little girls play happily, friends abound.

voices of joy, squeals of delight as little

feet splash in crystal streams.

two little girls are with angels standing, praising

Jesus with their voices sweet.

hearts full of love for their Creator Saviour,
perfect are their lives beyond the veil.

"Faith never knows where it is being led,

But it knows and loves the One who is leading."

Oswald Chambers

REMEMBERING ABIGAIL FAITH

ON HER DUE DATE

AUGUST 4 2011

Eucharisteo

"So we fix our eyes not on what is seen,

but what is unseen.

For what is seen is temporary,

but what is unseen

is eternal."

2 Corinthians 4:18

Her Father's Joy and Her Mother's Hope

My heart hurts raw
Pain runs deep within
Not so old wounds
Reopen... my heart cries -

Where are you?
Why couldn't you stay?
I'm empty, wishing
I was 'full' of you.

August 4 2011 should have been
A date of expectancy
Of pain, then pure joy
Now... an ordinary day

Where are you?
Why didn't you stay?
My baby, the salve
For my broken heart

On August 4 2011
I will nurse my aching heart
Folding my arms in emptiness
Wishing you were here with me

My heart hurts raw
Pain runs deep within
My heart cries - into eternity
"You are deeply loved."


A poem of deep lament for my second baby lost, who was due to be born on August 4.

We'll cherish it for a lifetime.

"Happy birthday to you..."

Sweetheart, we will forever love you, cherish you and remember you.

11 months

Remembering my beautiful baby girl who was born 11 months ago today  

My heart longs for you ~

 Praise God
The victory over death is won.

 Jesus has 'Overcome'!

I Will Rise

Chris Tomlin

There's a peace I've come to know
Though my heart and flesh may fail
There's an anchor for my soul
I can say, "It is well"

Jesus has overcome
And the grave is overwhelmed
The victory is won
He is risen from the dead

I will rise when He calls my name
No more sorrow, no more pain
I will rise on eagle's wings
Before my God, fall on my knees
And rise
I will rise

There's a day that's drawing near
When this darkness breaks to light
And the shadows disappear
And my faith shall be my eyes

And I hear the voice of many angels sing,
"Worthy is the Lamb"
And I hear the cry of every longing heart,
"Worthy is the Lamb"
