It HAPPENS to everyone.
The young.
The old.
The in~between.
Not a pretty word.
Death.
We enter the world with a cry
and when we leave this earth
there are cries
from our loved ones who are left behind.
This just HAPPENED
to one woman,
who I was so blessed to
be able to spend time with,
who always left a smile on my heart
after I was in her presence,
because of her
SWEET SIMPLICITY.
A SIMPLICITY that was oh so
gentle
and
kind,
that made her so powerful,
as she stood by her man
through everything,
and as he stood by her side
for 60 years of marriage.
GOD was so KIND to her
when her memory started to fail,
as her chuckle always remained.
Tears fill my being
as I think of her family
who are left behind.
As I am friends with one of her daughters,
who I had the privilege of experiencing
a pure love
between a daughter and a mother,
as she loved her mother with all her heart,
as she
catered to her needs
with the same
SIMPLICITY that carries that
power
to spread
the gentleness
and the kindness
that is contagious.
Marge touched my heart
with her SIMPLICITY of spirt.
Not wanting for anything,
as a "stand behind the scenes" kind of woman,
as she enjoyed her
SIMPLE pleasures
of collecting shells
looking at the ocean
petting her pets
playing Uno
loving her daughters
and
her grandchildren
and
her great grandchildren
and her
husband,
her life partner.
Oh the sadness of DEATH hits us all,
and it has over the past couple of weeks,
as the loved ones of some of our friends
have also taken their last breath on earth.
The young.
The old.
The in~between.
Life is just a breath
that was given to you
on the day GOD breathed your life into you.
GOD,
who
SIMPLY LOVES LIFE
so much
that HE never stops
LOVING
the young
the old
and the in~between.
And all GOD wants is for
the young
the old
and the in~between to
SIMPLY LOVE HIM.
For GOD holds the day and the time
of your birth,
and ultimately your death,
but you hold the day and the time
when you choose to
LIVE FOREVER with HIM
that is beyond your LIFE that you are experiencing right now.
Oh the SIMPLICITY of
Marge
has reminded me of
the
SIMPLICITY
the
Gentleness
and
the
Kindness
of
GOD
whose
SIMPLE desire is for ALL~
the young,
the old,
and the in-between~
to LIVE beyond death
in ETERNAL BLISS
by
SIMPLY BELIEVING JESUS
whose
gentleness
and
kindness
invites
the young,
the old,
and the in~between
to
BELIEVE~
“I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in
ME will live even if he dies,
and everyone who lives and believes in ME will never die.."*
JESUS never forces HIMSELF on anyone
as HE ASKS
the young,
the old,
and the in~between
the SIMPLE question
that demands
a SIMPLE YES
or a SIMPLE NO.
How will you answer?
"...Do you believe this?”* (John 11:25)
For the time is now
as there is no time to waste
for your breath is held by the ONE who created you.
Will you EMBRACE
"THE GOD OF ALL YOUR DAYS"
(listen to the song below)
