Hazel.....
Psalm 116:15 Precious in the sight of the Lord Is the death of his faithful servants.
For some reason I dreamed last night of people who have left this earthly space to join others in a heavenly place. They were all healthy, 30 year olds, building, doing various activities that they did while here only easier....I picked up nuts and bolts that were left lying around on golden floors....making sure that everything was tidy for the builder and the new residents...
I woke up, praying for Marie, a ninety plus widow whose daughter passed away this week. Hazel, a special woman, 50 plus years, precious...faithful...
Hazel loved routine, flustered by change.....loved those who loved her, ....hugged those who hugged her, ....cut out pictures by the hundreds, maybe thousands ....would welcome those she hadn't seen for months, remembering their names.....sang off key, but with much joy and vigor, songs she knew in her heart....endured pain, suffering,.....loved her dolls and cared for them......talked about Jesus as if he were standing close.....now resting with Him....
Matthew 19:13-15 Then people brought little children to Jesus for him to place his hands on them and pray for them. But the disciples rebuked them. Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” When he had placed his hands on them, he went on from there.
When I think of Hazel, I think of her sitting on Jesus' lap along with others, not just children, but those who needed His touch as well...as we all do at different times...held closely as a lamb, comforted, loved, cared for....
Thank YOU for sending Hazel, a light, .....comfort her family in her absence ...give them rest in their weariness .....
