Helpless?

Helpless? 

Frail. Weak. In steady decline. 

Yet held.

Cradled in the hands of

the One who holds stars–

and hearts, too.

Resting in the shadow

of the Almighty.

Home

Early Sunday morning, my dad passed through death into the glorious presence of the Lord.

His faith became sight. 

And we grieve. But not without hope.

For he is Home with our Good Shepherd and King. 

Truly resting. 

In peace.

One day, when our kids were young, it hit me.
