Through the Storm “Surviving His Death”

 Long ago,  I learned to let things go— To loosen my grip,  to let love flow. Sentimental at heart,  but I had to be wise, For everything good  would meet its demise. So I became detached  from what I couldn’t keep, Letting go of the dreams  that crumbled in my sleep. I’m not one to hold onto fleeting things, No trinkets,  no photos,  no borrowed rings. But feelings carve deep into my core, Each moment we share  becomes something more. It stays with me,  though I may not cling, For memories live in my heart not things. In our laughter that echoes through the trees, Gathering branches in the autumn breeze. Playing music beneath the moonlit sky, Howling tunes as the night drifts by. All leave my heart full, But never too heavy to fly. The pictures could burn,  the trinkets turn to dust, But here in this body,  you will always live in trust. Etched in laughter,  alive in space, Your presence remains,  your warmth,...

 It’s so sad to think that this is honestly what life has come down to. Strangers talk more than people you’ve known your entire life, visiting is almost non existent anymore.  I think is it just me, but it’s not really, it’s everywhere. A phone call from point A to B is the expected communication in today’s society if you’re lucky, because it’s rush here or there. I hate this stage of life it doesn’t bring me any joy anymore and it’s not about going out and finding your own joy it’s about why bother. What’s it gonna do end up in the brush pile with the last stack of broken glass. I do see how as I get older it is easier to stay more alone rather than go out and try to do something. It’s one of the biggest reasons probably to just stick to everything online. Communication, shopping and learning have become the modern way to do things and now funerals are online with a viewing so heck why not start early. Cheaper prices for a funeral surely, I mean no reason to have any viewing...

 So often we miss the mark by simply being selfish. I am forever grateful that Jesus did not choose the day of crucification, to choose himself over us. A pondering thought, and such a scary thought would be and should be in our hearts & minds always is this; “Lest I gain the whole world and lose my soul, what would be to gain”. Oh Lord help me to be more humble and have a greater desire for others, than I do of myself.  “For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?” ‭‭Mark‬ ‭8:36‬ ‭KJV‬‬ I’m already losing the battle so I’m already losing me
