The kids

After looking at multiple friends' blogs I realized we haven't posted pics of the kids in awhile, so here are a few.

Wait

Good Friday.

The Innocent One, condemned, sentenced to death.

The Disciples, scattered, scared.

Darkness over the earth...

But also, the Curtain torn!

The powers of evil, exhausted!

In January, over the course of just a few days, I found out that:

~A friend's father had been in terrible car accident.

~A relative lost their baby, in utero.

~A friend shared about visiting someone in the hospital.

I cried out to God! And he comforted me. The grief didn't subside, but the promise of New Creation rang out. Check out what Paul writes to the church at Rome about this.

At any rate, I wrote this poem on January 11th, the day before Port-au-Prince, Haiti was hit by a terrible earthquake.

I thought it would be appropriate to share acrostic poem on this Good Friday.

"Wait"

What do we do, when

Every day brings pain and suffering?

What do we do, when

All people mourn,

Infants are stillborns, and

The norm is disease and death?

Please, dry our tears, and redeem

All

Things!

In the end, God will make

Everything

New!

Today, we grieve, hope and say:

Lord Jesus, come!

Yes, come quickly, we pray!
