In His Hands
~*Marge Tindal*~

I have walked deep into the valley
and found a peace waiting for me there
A day that I felt would undo me
was taken away by His shouldered care

The tears of sweet remembrance
ran down these cheeks in torrents bared
Fell into His hands, so cupped to hold them
I thank Him for being there

He took my hand in strength of His lending
Led me from despair of sorrow
He let me glimpse those who wait for me
beyond the gates of Heaven on some fine tomorrow

Father, Mother, Sister, Brother
Friends and loved ones joined in song
God said they were keeping choir practice
until I could join them and sing along

Oh, what joy fills my heart
knowing that He thought of me
He's willing to hold my tears
whenever I have the need

When life within this earthly shell
ceases to be my home
I will walk toward loved ones waiting
I will join them at His throne

Until then He'll hold my tears
He'll lift me up when I am down
There's a certain peace in knowing
because He loves me
I'm Heaven bound !


*Friends - this next week is going
to be a tough one, emotionally, for me.
I will be honoring the remembrance of
the anniversay of the death of my Mother
just five short years ago
and the death of my sister, just one year ago.
These are trying times emotionally.
Please lift me in your prayers and in your thoughts.
I need the strength of your friendship.

Oh Marge, What a beautiful piece you have written....Brings much peace to this heart of mine.  I've lost many and the thought that they will be waiting for me, wings spread ready for a hug, and to let me join in their songs.....oh my, such a beautiful thought.  Thank you for sharing this friend, it is truly appreciated.  Bonnie

My dearest Marge, my lightest Feather

I too have anniversaries, one for my father, one for my mother, and others who have touched my life.

Do know that it does not get easier, but I hope that you will find, in time, that you smile more through the tears at all of the very best things left behind in you, and for you, through them, and Him.

You are in my heart-hugs, dear friend.

Marge my friend,

This peice is so beautiful and shows such devotion to God. Because I trully beleive that if someone has true faith then God carries them through any thing they may have to endure, some times its hard to have that deep of faith when the hardest of times hit, but that is when he rocks your soul in craddled arms, I will rememeber you in pray dear sweet friend.

Love you always, Cerenity

Marge, this is sheer beauty.  You have such a deep spiritual side and I am glad that you share it here with us.  I am sure that your Mother and your sister are looking down from Heaven, so proud of you and I am sure that the rain is their tears of joy because of your poem of hope.  I am truly sorry for your loss, I, too have lost loved ones.  Although I cannot bring them back for you or erase the pain, please know that I will say a prayer for you and will be thinking of you during this time.  That's what friends are for right!    All of us here at passions care about you and will pray for you!

Take care,
Melissa Honeybee

Marge, take comfort in your time of need. You can be reassured that He is with you at all times. And when the hour of His need for you in His heavenly garden is near, you will be accompanied by His peaceful dove.

Marge,
May the peace that passes all understanding be with you these next few days as you remember your family.
It's difficult to lose loved ones while we are here on earth.
Thank God that we have the comfort of knowing in eternity we'll never part again.
Hugs,
Deb

Marge-----my prayers and thoughts are definitely with you in these emotional times and there will be the day in which you will walk with them again hand in hand....but you also walk with them here hand in heart as they are so much a part of you.  You shine here from the glow and essence of them both and mixed with your wonderful soul.....well it is like watching the sun explode all over again.  Hugs to you my friend.

Dear Marge; I feel your sorrow and understand your pain. My love and my prayers are with you during this time. May Jesus comfort you and give you peace. Know that all of your poet angels here are lifting you up and loving you.  Love, Ellie

that awakens
the butterflies,
calling them to join
the dance
in their silent song
of praise to God.
