Two months is too little.
They let him go.
They had no sudden healing.
To think that providence would
Take a child from his mother while she prays
Is appalling.
Who told us we’d be rescued?
What has changed and why should we be saved from nightmares?
We’re asking why this happens
To us who have died to live?
It’s unfair.
Chorus:This is what it means to be held.
How it feels when the sacred is torn from your life
And you survive.
This is what it is to be loved.
And to know that the promise was
When everything fell we’d be held.
This hand is bitterness.
We want to taste it, let the hatred NUMB our sorrow.
The wise hands opens slowly to lilies of the valley and tomorrow.
(Chorus)This is what it means to be held.
How it feels when the sacred is torn from your life
And you survive.
This is what it is to be loved.
And to know that the promise was
When everything fell we’d be held.
If hope is born of suffering.
If this is only the beginning.
Can we not wait for one hour watching for our Savior?

This entry is all about PRAYER REQUESTS.

A good friend of mine (Jen) has a sister in law who has struggled for some time now to get pregnant. She finally, with the help of invetro fertilization, is pregnant with triplets. She is about 22 weeks along and saturday night she went into labor. One of her babies was born and subsiquently died from prematurity. Please pray for her that not only her other two children should be healthy and to term, but that the sorrow of losing a baby not hold her back from the joy of being a mother. And please pray for Jen, as this is the third child in three years that she has seen this happen to, one her own, another her best friends.

The prayer request, gentle reader, for my aunt continues. I know she is well contented in the notion that whatever God deems to be the proper time, she will obey, but please pray that she not suffer and that the devil not make her feel any sorrow or shame in the fact that she is dying to us and gaining ever lasting life.

And a finally praryer request for my mother. I don't know what for, but I am sure she'll need it eventually.

Let me know if you need any prayers, I am always happy to oblige.
