AS THE CLOCKS CONTINUE TO TICK.......

Posted 9 minutes ago

WE REALIZE THAT WE HAVE SAID GOOD BYE TO THE MAN WE LOVED ....WE HAVE CELEBRATED HIS LIFE ....HERE AND IN DENVER...WE HAVE FELT YOUR LOVE...YOUR TOUCH...YOUR CONTINUED PRAYERS....WE HAVE BEEN TOGETHER AS HIS FAMILY....SHARING..LOVING ...CRYING...SINGING TO HIM AS WE FELT THE RAWNESS OF DEATH WHEN WE LEFT HIM IN HIS FINAL RESTING PLACE...

WE HAVE TOLD THE STORY OVER AND OVER AGAIN ....WE HAVE CRIED SO MANY TEARS...WE HAVE SAID OVER AND OVER ...HAS THIS REALLY HAPPENED ????

AS WE LOOK AROUND THE HOUSE FOR SOMETHING THAT WILL TELL US IT A JUST A BAD DREAM.....WE REALIZE AS THE CLOCKS CONTINUE TO TICK ..THAT THE REAL MIRACLE IS THAT WE STILL BELIEVE..AND TRUST OUR LORD...

...AS OUR HEARTS ARE BROKEN.....AND AS THE CLOCKS REMIND US OF TIME ...WE REALIZE WE HAVE DONE ALL OF THIS...

THE MILK IN REFRIGERATOR THAT WAS PURCHASED BEFORE ODEE DIED IS STILL FRESH...

AND WE SAY ...DEAR LORD HOW CAN THIS BE?????? 

AND THE CLOCKS CONTINUE TO TICK..

SO MANY PRAYED SO HARD...WE KNOW GOD HEARD OUR PRAYERS....AND YET HE DIED....

WE CLUTCH OUR GRIEF TIGHTLY.....EVEN THOUGH EVERYTHING WE BELIEVE TELLS US THAT GOD WANTS TO CARRY OUR PAIN....WE STILL HOLD TIGHT .....BECAUSE HE IS GONE....AND THE ONLY COMFORT WE WANT IS IN HEAVEN....

DEAR LORD...HELP US RECONCILE...ALL OF THIS ..BECAUSE WE LOVED HIM SO
