I had been praying and thanking God for you today.
Tears flooded my eyes when I think about in such a year as this has been all we have been through yes you and I.
The broken hearts , the prayers and thanksgivings going forth.The times when you would not let go when I wanted to run.When I showed you my scars you did not snicker or judge me.When I have wept you wept with me and even brought a tissue or two for us each.
The smiles we have shared are precious as the joy and laughter.What I remember most is your hug and your words of hope,Even when I have failed you were there to help me up.When I was scared and felt alone, you reminded me that all I had to do was type a line or use the phone.
When you were hurting I had no clue of how to help, maybe it was just the fact I remembered all we have been through.For it was this lesson Grace that you said I would get the chance as well to teach.
I at one time said the pain will not end and there was no hope.You said to let it alone and together we would cope.
Oh, for how many more people with this message can we reach?Will it ever be enough?Will it stop someone else from dying for one more day?
That time you spent just minutes with me when you were so busy and on a schedule that had you beat , even knowing you had to use the same words to repeat.Did I tell you it was that time you took that saved my life Again ? For it was in that moment I saw I was on the edge of the cliff .
So while it may have seemed your words fell on deaf ears You didn�t allow my life to be in utter defeat you fought it all the way for me to hell and back. With such a love as this what more is it that I can say?
Except that in all you taught , it is us all together that pray.
Its God who Has made the way.
