One day…
when you had been gone for quite awhile already.
I was walking and talking with God.
I told him how much I missed you and that If I were able, I would build you back
bit by bit,
working continuously
minute by minute,
hour by hour,
day by day.
If only it were possible
I’d take but a speck of sand, one grain at a time,
and build you back to life, I would start today.
I didn’t care how long it would take, I would start right now!
I would bring you back, if it took the rest of my life.
But I knew…
I did not have the power,
nor the time,
nor the wisdom,
for such a miracle.
For I knew that it was by the Creator’s hand you were made and not my own.
So God, in his quiet way, reminded me that the process had already started.
Even now…
minute by minute,
hour by hour,
day by day.
He is bringing me to you.
So in this time of waiting… as I am one day closer,
there is more –
more life to be lived – fully and imperfectly,
more people to love – when it’s easy and when it’s messy,
more purpose to be had – whether clear now or yet to be seen,
more tears and more laughter to express.
This is living.
And by holding the hand that created us all,
I will carry on until that glorious day.
For it is in Him that I live and move and exist
We will do it, He and I
minute by minute,
hour by hour,
day by day,
…even if it takes the rest of my life.
Acts 17:28 “For in Him we live and move and have our being.”
Psalm 139:10 “even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast.”
