GLITTER DUST OF MY MIND. SOLILOQUY.
My heart aches as I am about to face a reality when I get home. My sister in law is grieving a death, a death of a sister. When I first knew about it, I could not hear the exact words as it was spoken to me. I had to ask one more time to say it again just to make sure I heard it correct. Flashes of scenes from last night came to mind, we were having our life group meeting when she mentioned that her younger sister needs prayers because she is sick. It's hard to say something to console when honestly you yourself is feeling the exact emotion she is holding on to. I tried all my best to be a strong sister and give her encouragement , as well as all our other sisters tried to console her too and give her comfort. I had to ask again to make sure I heard it right. Yes, she passed away. I couldn't react for a moment. I didn't have the right words to say and all that I had in my mind, is "Why Lord, Why? We prayed for her, but there was not even enough time to pray for her and be healed, instead, she was taken away by death as fast as that?" Life has been taken and robbed. Everything just started coming to my head. I was at work, it is tough to react and cry when I have to face clients when you are in distress. I stayed as focused as possible. Then I called my dad to inform of the news. As I heard dads voice, it made me feel like a child again. I told dad everything and that it scared me. But my Dad, my comfort, reminded me why we must not fear death. There may be some times in our lives that we wonder how will it be losing the people we love. Just thinking about it breaks my heart and it makes it bleed. But this is part of life. Molded thru dust, God gave us His breath to live on earth. Then that day comes, our end claims the breath we borrowed from Him, ashes to ashes, dust to dust. What is Most important really is how we lived our lives while we had it and that you remained alive in the thoughts and hearts thru memories with the people left. |
