A Piece of Me is Missing

    I charish that smile.  That rambunctious energy.   What did I do to lose your heart?   I did you wrong son!   Too hard.  Too little understanding.   Too harsh.   I grieve for what sweetness there was back in those days when Our roots were North.  Grandparents, Aunts and Uncles, cousins, Friends.   Simpler times.   I used to live with NO REGRETS!   And Now I feel FULL of them. 
                          GOD!
If My heart must break, break it for YOUR use!

Can you use me still?   Can you repair what the 'locusts' have eaten?
You can...I believe that.

You are a great and loving God! There is no shadow of turning with you!   Thou changest not thy compassions they fail not!  Great is THY faithfulness LORD unto me.


This night, Bless him and Keep him--make your face to shine upon him and give him peace.
Make him YOURS.
