Two years ago this was the song I woke up to...all of our family was exhausted. We had been and were sorting, dividing, packing, tossing, non-stop. With visitors coming and going...
And then the devotional was, "do not resist or run from the difficulties in your life....thank Me for the difficulties"
I was having a hard time thanking God for those difficulties......and wrote it out...was thankful for all the support during that time for our family and Don's peaceful and painless passing....but had a hard time saying thanks for his death....and the reason for us doing that sorting, packing...married life was over, our dreams and plans were gone, grandparenting as a pair was over....I was a widow, my children were fatherless....our business was undergoing changes.....and I was supposed to be thankful......give me a break.....
The memorial service was planned for the following day....and friends from far and near rallied to serve us, honor Don, love us, to a packed house...I was thankful for that...smiles, tears, laughter, remembrances, songs, prayers .....all,those good things....I just was having difficulty being thankful for the reason of the gathering...Don would have loved all the people...but he wasn't there to enjoy it....
So I come up against another Mother's Day without the father of our children with wonderful memories....and difficulty in saying thanks...but I do..it is the right attitude, even when it hurts...tears again...even the Question, "why?"...not so strongly, more peaceful, changing, renewing, being molded into someone new again...
I talk to God a lot more now...He guides, answers, comforts ....quietly..
Thank YOU that you are Above All...
Michael W. Smith – Above All Lyrics
Send "Above All" Ringtone to your Cell
Above all powers
Above all kings
Above all nature and all created things
Above all wisdom and all the ways of man
You were here before the world began
Above all kingdoms
Above all thrones
Above all wonders the world has ever known
Above all wealth and treasures of the earth
There's no way to measure what you're worth
Crucified
Laid behind the stone
You lived to die
Rejected and alone
Like a rose trampled on the ground
You took the fall
And thought of me
Above all
Above all powers
Above all kings
Above all nature and all created things
Above all wisdom and all the ways of man
You were here before the world began
Above all kingdoms
Above all thrones
Above all wonders the world has ever known
Above all wealth and treasures of the earth
There's no way to measure what you're worth
Crucified
Laid behind the stone
You lived to die
Rejected and alone
Like a rose trampled on the ground
You took the fall
And thought of me
Above all
Crucified
Laid behind the stone
You lived to die
Rejected and alone
Like a rose trampled on the ground
You took the fall
And thought of me
Above all
Like a rose trampled on the ground
You took the fall
And thought of me
Above all
