A little understanding

by brenda

So my girl just posted lyrics of another song that speaks to what she’s going through…

“The pathway is broken and the signs are unclear
and I don’t know the reason why You brought me here”

and my first thought was, “If I could take this all away I would,”

and then my next thought was, “No I wouldn’t.”

and it’s because of this…

“so if all of these trials bring me closer to you
then I will walk through the fire if You want me to.”

and I am in tears,

and I think I got a little understanding of how my Father feels when He must allow heartache in my life.

“When Jesus saw her weeping…he was deeply moved in his spirit and greatly troubled…Jesus wept.” ~ John 11:33, 35

Band-Aids and Kisses…

by brenda

…they used to be enough to soothe my baby’s hurt, cover the pain, restore the smile through her tears.

Where does a mother get a Band-Aid big enough for her grownup daughter?  When the pain’s so raw not even the Truth can make it feel better?  When the hurt pierces right down into the depths of her soul, and her tears become yours.

Father, she needs You.  We. Need. You.
