The sun is shining here in Justin Texas, the temperatures outside are bordering 70 degrees...Stacey and Larry are watching as two trees are planted in their backyard....a gift from Terry and I for their home. The Minister did a blessing of their home on Saturday following the services for Grant...new life begins at their home now.
My day starts normal...Niki is here until tomorrow and she was in for the funeral. A total help to all of us and I am forever thankful for her friendship and her ability to jump in and handle things. Today is shipping day, Terry is out making boxes, many are for the show that opens in Ohio this next weekend. I was suppose to travel to be there, but doubt I will make the trip right now. It is just a bit soon and I want to be here for the kids if they need us. Terry was listening to classical music, a piece which was pierced with exploding energy from different areas of the orchestra...and he said...."This is Grant...I hear him in this music."
The painting above I finished on Friday last week...it is a small painting with warm colors reflecting a depth of passion for life....I received an email from Denny that makes the harps in Australia with his story of death and life and the gift of a full blooming relationship and family rising out of the pits of despair. It reminded me ever so gently that as the Lord taketh away, he doubles back the blessing with so much more for us. We have to let go of the grief, guilt and self condemnation and remember to praise him and lift our arms and hands open to what he give us. It is this gift from him that will bring the Sun back to our days, and the laughter back to our homes.
Grace to each of you!
