How do you love a person

Verse...  "My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has been mindful of the humble state of his servant.  From now on all generations will call me blessed, for the Mighty One has done great things for me - holy is his name."  Luke 1:46-49  NIV



Thought for today....  When people do what is right, God remembers...  (The inspirational study bible)




Song/video.... 



Poem....


How do you love a person


Who never got to be,

Or try again to see a face

You never got to see?

How do you mourn the death of one

Who never got to live,

When there's nothing to feel good about

And nothing to forgive?



I love you, little sister.

You're a person of the wind,

Free to be the memory

Of all that might have been.



I love you, little sister,

My companion of the night,

Wandering through my lonely hours,

Beautiful and bright.



What does it mean to die before

You ever can be born,

To live the lovely night of life

And never see the dawn?



Ah! My little sister,

You lived like anyone!

Life's a burst of joy and pain,

And then, like yours, it's done.



I love you, little sister,

Just as if you'd lived for years.

No more, no less, I think of you,

The angel of my tears.
