For Our Grieving Heart

Losing someone through sudden death is never easy to take. Based on my own experience, I was so close to insanity. Nothing around me could be understood. I never want to wake up each morning. Every day had been a struggle. I was too sensetive. I could cry a river for a very shallow reason. It gradually passed though. But recently, a special friend died and a month later my Uncle. They were both close to my heart. Those event brought me back to that July 2013 nightmare.

After cooking for dinner few minutes ago, I opened my email and checked on divine intervention through my bible verse subscription. Indeed, God works in mysterious ways for the message in my mail says something about grieving with a bonus poem. Very comforting.

                               I'M FREE

                    Don't grieve for me for now I'm free,

                    I'm following the path God laid for me.

                    I took His hand when I heard Him call,

                    I turned my back and left it all.

                    I could not stay another day,

                    To laugh, to love, to work or play.

                    Tasks left undone must stay that way,

                    I found that peace at the close of the day.

                    If my parting has left a void,

                    Then fill it with remembered joy.

                    A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,

                    Ah yes, these things I too will miss.

                    But be not burdened with times of sorrow,

                    For I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.

                    My life's been full.  I've savored much,

                    Good friends, good times and loved ones' touch.

                    Perhaps my time seemed all too brief

                    Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.

                    Lift up your ears and share with me.

                    God wanted me now.  He set me free!

P.U.S.H.

     It was the worst day of my life and I was so close in banging my head on the comfort room's wall. I managed to go to bed and fell asleep but morning came and nothing has changed. When I whispered a short prayer and asked for comfort, my smartphone was the closest and so this message slapped my face from the e-mail.         

                        "Just A Little Prayer."

                      God is ever there for those

                          Who really, really care,

                      He helps dispel your cares and woes

                          With just a little prayer.

                      Invite the Lord into your heart,

                        He has much love to spare,

                      A love He gladly would impart

                          With just a little prayer.

                      Let Him know where things go wrong,

                        No matter when or where.

                      He can fill your heart with song

                          With just a little prayer.

                      It matters not your race or creed,

                          God does not compare.

                      He can fill your wants and needs

                          With just a little prayer.

                      No power on earth can give a man

                          God's immortal blessings rare.

                      He is the only One who can

                          With just a little prayer.
