our friend's sister died late last night.
the email came this morning.
even though we knew it appeared to be inevitable... we still weren't prepared for the feelings that hit us when we heard the news.
concern about our friends.
questions that hover.
the reality of life's frailty sits on our shoulders.
faith whispers in one ear.
fear shouts in the other.
peace arrives on the midnight train...
...but only after tears and the realization that the words that satisfy reside in the mouth of The One who gave all so that one day all things would be made right.
come quickly, Lord Jesus.
