Day Twenty-six of the First April Remembering

Psalm 31: 19 -24
What a stack of blessing you have piled up
for those who worship you,
Ready and waiting for all who run to you
to escape an unkind world.
You hide them safely away
from the opposition.
As you slam the door on those oily, mocking faces,
you silence the poisonous gossip.
Blessed God!


His love is the wonder of the world.
Trapped by a siege, I panicked.
"Out of sight, out of mind," I said.
But you heard me say it,
you heard and listened.

Love God, all you saints;
God takes care of all who stay close to him,
But he pays back in full
those arrogant enough to go it alone.

Be brave. Be strong. Don't give up.
Expect God to get here soon.

As I read your blog, one song keeps rounding in my head.
He gives
Beauty for ashes,
Strength for fear,
Gladness for mourning,
Peace for despair.

I weep with you all as you begin the 2nd year of missing Benjamin and rejoice over your faith and hope.
God is good.
I love you bunches.
