Remembering God's Grace

The calmness settles in now with acceptable disquietness as we return to living life with one less earthly vessel dwelling lovingly among us. Silence reigning for moments as our minds and spirits search for solace in numbing grief while shadows from the past run a perpetual playback of memories, now bittersweet. In the stillness of this new day may we find peaceful comfort as our feet search for stable ground and our hearts struggle with our own personal storms Remembering God’s grace and Dad's stepping stone of Faith 3/31/2012 I wrote this for my family this morning after we layed my father-in-law to rest yesterday. Such a faithful man in Christ. His earthly presence will be missed, but his memories will forever be with us.
