This Pain I Live With

CHRIST FOR ME, LLC

For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. Phil. 1:21

Over the years since Jenni's death, I have spent many nights when sleep just wasn't in the picture for me, so I would sit and write in my journal...or write poetry to help to ease the deep sense of loss that I was feeling.  The following are some samples of some of the fruits of those sleepless hours.


There’s often days when we don’t feel

As chipper as we ought.

And other days we feel as though

We have a battle fought.

 

Sometimes our circumstances can

Run us into the ground.

We fret, and moan, and then we are

No fun to be around.

 

We often pray that God will take

The trials from our way.

So we can live our life in peace…

Enjoying every day.

 

But, what if trials that we face

Are blessings in disguise.

To teach us that God’s always near…

On Him we must rely.

 

 

 

For often healing comes through tears,

And in our sleepless nights,

We can reflect on all He’s done…

He makes our future bright.

 

Though this world here seems racked with pain

No matter where we roam.

We have His promises, so true…

Praise God, this is not our home!

 

“Casting all your cares on Him, for He cares for you.”  I Peter 5:7
