Broken, But Held

I have wailed, I have begged, I have questioned God. 

I have lain broken and bruised. 

I have rejoiced, I have praised, I have thanked God.  

I have risen, I still fall, I have changed, 

Since I buried you.

But 

You God…

Hold me when I lie broken, you help me rise when I can’t walk.

You dry my tears and calm my fears.

You have brought great joy in the midst of heartache and rest for my weary bones.

You have strengthened my faith and grown my roots.

You are trustworthy, and your love is unfailing even when I doubt.

God has seen me through it all,

Since I buried you.

Love, 

Christopher’s Mom Forever
