these days of waiting...

....have brought great peace upon my heart.

Being in His word 
and surrounded by the love and nurturing 
of family and friends,
has caused my soul to flourish.

I have had time to get well,
time to take hold of the great promises in His word
that pertain to those of us who are 
"walking through the valley of the shadow of death."

We don't get to experience very often
 the magnitude of love 
that is shown during these times of sadness and sorrow.
We have been overwhelmed with
 "the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living."
All I can do is say thank you for every kind word and deed.

Now we start the process of saying goodbye.
Never easy....
but as surely a part of life as being born.

"To everything there is a season,
a time for every purpose under heaven:
A time to be born and 
a time to die."
Ecclesiastes 3: 1~2
