Lord,
My son is safe
Within your arms
I have no need to worry over him
When his feet left earth
He was in your presence
I had to trust
My loss would
Be restored

I believed like Job
That you were still
In control
And somehow
Blessings would be returned again
More plentiful than before

7 years gone by
Your perfect will
Is being done
As today you spoke
To my heart
7 children in my Sunday School class
Depend on me
To show them
They can depend
On you

Thank you Lord
For all your blessings
I am looking for
All of them to grow.

This is so touching!  I'm sorry for your loss. We lost our only grandson when he was nine, so can understand some of your feelings.

Oh bless you for this.  I too have lost  son and I think God has blessed me by giving me the ability to write about it.  It is a little over two years now.  Love, Joyce

enduring losses so great is only done by His strength...finding blessings,then, is surely only by His love, surely
