beautiful sunrise this morning, a favorite display of beauty in my life.
surrounded by kids and folks of all ages and sizes.
we sat on the hill, quietly, with blankets wrapped around us, waiting for it.
remembering that morning when He rose again, to see His people once more, before heading Home.
He left His spirit with us, that we might not be alone, and to guide and lead us.
why then, do i feel so sad, so alone, of all days, surrounded by such a great community of Christ-lovers and most of all, living in the reality of belonging to the best Abba Father ever? why? why does sorrow exist? why can't i turn it off..this switch to pain and feeling alone?
maybe i wouldn't know the need to call on Him, resting, trusting, persevering, aching, crying, longing, for Him. maybe i wouldn't be satisfied by a Creator and God so great and full of mercy.
so thank you, Giver of Life, for sorrow, for times to share in a very small way, some of the pain you felt that day. thank you for comfort that only you can give, for the unseen wings that enfold us.
forever yours.
