He only took my hand....

Verse...  "My son, do not forget my teaching, but keep my commands in your heart, for they will prolong your life many years and bring you prospertiy"  Proverbs 3:1&2



Thought for today...  Though we know God is not to blame for any death, so many times it seems that he turns a blind eye by allowing his permissive will to occur.  He stands dead-center when we are looking for a target.  Im convinced that God loves us so much that he is willing to take the blame, to absorb our anger when we need a punching bag.  I think he would rather have us yelling at him than not speaking at all.  (Leslie Williams)

Poem... (I know this poem was written about a child who had lived life here on earth, but I think it still applies to us who have lost our precious babies.)

He Only Took My Hand


"Last night while I was trying to sleep,



My son's voice I did hear



I opened my eyes and looked around,



But he did not appear.



He said: "Mom you've got to listen,



You've got to understand



God didn't take me from you, mom



He only took my hand.



When I called out in pain that night,



The instant that I died,



He reached down and took my hand,



And pulled me to His side.



He pulled me up and saved me



From the misery and pain.



My body was hurt so badly inside,



I could never be the same.



My search is really over now,



I've found happiness within,



All the answers to my empty dreams



And all that might have been.



I love you all and miss you so,



And I'll always be nearby.



My body's gone forever,



But my spirit will never die!



And so, you must all go on now,



Live one day at a time.



Just understand-



God did not take me from you,



He only took my hand."
