Hope~

As I sit down to write today

I realize

that there are no words...

no written words or spoken ones

that can heal 

that 

daddy, that husband

the one who has a wife and a daughter in the hospital

and a beautiful little boy who is now in heaven.

And what about all the others

that have lost

something...

Hope.

But

now is the time to hope...

To hope for better, to hope for brighter days ahead,

to hope for answers...

And it is hope that will see us through

 and

 it is faith that will bring us back to Him.

Him, the one who knows and understands

why all of this happened,

and one day will explain to us why,

why 

that daddy

why those people

why that day

why.

Until then 

I pray...

I pray for Boston, for my brothers and sisters...

I pray 

for 

peace.

I pray for hope.

 

We are Christ's letters

2 Corinthians 3:3

You yourselves are letters

written on our hearts, recognized and read by everyone,

since it is plain you are Christ's letter.

 

 

I write because that is what helps me make sense

when things just don't seem to make sense.

It is like praying, in written form.

Opening your heart,

letting light in,

letting love flow out.

It is for me, for God...

For others

who choose to walk with me

on my journey.

It is gratitude...

for everything the Lord has given me.

Crying my faith out loud.

We are like God's love letters

shared.

Each letter is beautiful and lovely

and inspiring in its own way.

Please mail your letter,

don't put it away for another day...

read it out loud!

 

Thanks for reading my letter.
