This doesn't need any words but I just wanted to share this with whoever may take time to check out my blogs. In looking at what people with CF(http://cfhusband.blogspot.com) go through and families facing loss of a child. Again there are no words but its a reminder that life is so fragile and brief. Nothing short of sin to take life for granted. Even as I write this I know I don't take it all in. The creation, a conversation, another birthday, another wish, the ability to breathe, think, move, hear and see. To enjoy a handshake, a hug, a kiss, a good book, family, friends, a good laugh, a good cry...Beautiful chaos. In closing here are some words from Chris Rice
Every day is a journal page Every man holds a quill and ink And there's plenty of room for writing in All we do is believe and think So will you compose a curse Or will today bring the blessing Fill the page with rhyming verse Or some random sketching
Teach us to count the days Teach us to make the days count Lead us in better ways That somehow our souls forgot Life means so much Life means so much Life means so much
Every day is a bank account And time is our currency So nobody's rich, nobody's poor We get 24 hours each So how are you gonna spend Will you invest, or squander Try to get ahead Or help someone who's under
Has anybody ever lived who knew the value of a life And don't you think giving is all What proves the worth of yours and mine
Every day is a gift you've been given Make the most of the time every minute you're living
When I first heard the name "Beautiful Ache" I wondered what was so beautiful about aching. True, the world is hurting. However, I'm a firm believer in HOPE. To quote Stephen James, author of the book "Sailing Between The Stars-Musings on the Mysteries of Faith"
Every day we're both wasting away and being renewed. When God's Spirit moves, joy is reborn, and our lives, once new, can continually be renewed through faith and the promises of faith. Here's what I have to keep reminding myself; pain is real, but so is joy. Every moment, hope is available. Even now, peace can be mine.
I can't explain everything, but I do know that in the end, these light afflictions will give way to a greater joy!
