I Miss Her Greatly
Here are the words of one of the hymns I selected for my mother's funeral:
-----------------------------------------------
You Are Mine
I will come to you in the silence,
I will lift you from all your fear,
You will hear my voice, I claim you as my choice.
Be still and know I am here.
I am hope for all who are hopeless,
I am eyes for all who long to see,
In the shadows of the night, I will be your light.
Come and rest in me.
Refrain: Do not be afraid, I am with you.
I have called you each by name.
Come and follow me, I will bring you home.
I loved you and you are mine.
I am strength for all the despairing
Healing for the ones who dwell in shame
All the blind will see, the lame will all run free.
All will know my name.
I am the word that leads all to freedom,
I am the peace the world cannot give
I will call your name, embracing all your pain,
Stand up, now walk, and live!

There is a huge, empty hole in our home, and my heart feels hollow.

I appreciate all forms of comments on my writings. I find that I miss the sponteneity of coming to read them here when they were unmoderated. I believe I wrote less due to the moderation. I have decided to adopt limited moderation. Hopefully the prior problems with unfettered comments will not arise again. Please feel free to comment as you wish about the essays I write. I will maintain those comments that offer kind-hearted and gentle opinion... be it positive or negative. The opinions of your comments will, of course, need to have relevance to the post as well.
