Short on words

Dawn from my daughters' bedroom windowDawn from my daughters' bedroom window</span>

I've worked these words over and over in my head and there is no poetic, witty or encouraging way to write about this. Sometimes life is painful and heartbreaking.

We got a call yesterday that I knew would come someday, but the reality is always sooner than you think. And because I want to protect my loved one's privacy and show the utmost respect for the situation I can't say much except that my husband's family is going through a very difficult crisis right now.

I have no words. I'm going to let this song, Your Lone Journey, recorded here by my friend Greg Boardman speak for me.

Please keep us, but more so my in-laws (who I realize you don't know) in your prayers.

FIMBY posts may be put on hold for a while. Unless I find it helpful to blog, something to think about other than the crisis at hand. I just don't know.

    Our prayers are with you.

    Enfold Me (David Adam)

    Lord, enfold me, In the depths of your love and there hold me. Renew, refresh, restore me, Until my whole being is aglow with your glory and goodness, Gracious and generous God.

    Just wanted to let you know that I'm thinking of you and your family. Drop me a line if it helps, and keep that camera clicking away. It can capture light even on the wost of days. Peace.

    There are lots of prayers being said here in Ohio for all involved. I pray that God grants you all the peace of knowing that especially through this crisis He is holding you in His hands.
