August 14

It's a beautiful morning...a quiet stillness to the air. Slightly overcast as the day holds the promise of new day. A few deer gaze amongst the trees as birds fill the air with their sound. God's creation. A beautiful day.

We will bury our father today and the emotions that keep running through my mind are those of gratitude. We have been truly blessed and continue to be so. Bathed it seems quite literally in his grace and mercy....we are strangely okay.

For how can we grieve, when we know that a body that once was breaking done with age and disease will break down no more? How can we loose ourselves in sorrow when our parents, who rarely spent a moment apart, have been reunited? How can sadness fill the air when a grandfather was finally able to hug his granddaughter whom he missed greatly?
How can we be downcast when we know that our father on earth has come face to face with our Heavenly Father?

Face to face with the Almighty.

And as the mysteries of heaven unravel for my father, as he is captured by the glory that abounds in a place of no sorrow, pain nor suffering, we, still here on this earth, will choose to rejoice in his homecoming. As we reflect that our family here on this earth has now been reduced to half, we are reminded that death and departure from this earth is real so then are spurred on to His calling as the tethering here on this earth becomes more loose.

God is ever faithful. Every moment, every step, every detail, He walks with us step by step. From the words He gives us to people He puts in our path. He loves us. Death is very much a part of our lives here on this earth. Sometimes it descends upon bus swiftly while sometimes it seems to creep upon us. Regardless of its mode of arrival, it enters in with the steady confidence. And while satan might try to use it to invoke fear and sorrow, God's Light reveals it to be what it truly is....the transition from here to there.

And that's a beautiful day.
