20240113- In Peace Proverbs 3:24

你今天过的 还好吗

有什么事情让你伤心难过啊

神所爱的必让他安然入睡

你相信的话 就跟我一起唱吧

我必安然躺下睡觉

因为独有你

耶和华使我安然居住

我必安然躺下睡觉

因为独有你─耶和华使我安然居住

让我们一起祷告

我躺下 必不惧怕

我躺卧 睡得香甜

我睡醒 他必引导

我行走 他必保守

This song was forwarded to me this morning by A。

Apparently it was only released in Sep 2023.

Taken from the Prov 3:24.

You know something?

Our Father in heaven has a very interesting way to comfort his children.

This morning a quick errand run to my classmate's home delivering the ensure milk brought a tinge of heaviness in my heart.  No matter how strong we try to be.  It is tough seeing someone we know and love slipping away.  

(My prayer is "sleeping" away...without any pain Yes. )

Still, we are thankful for the grace of over 10 years now for someone stricken with lung cancer. (for most the median survival rate is ave 5 years) It was only last Feb 23, that this had metastasized to the brain.  So today 13 Jan 24, I am heavy in heart seeing a great deterioration in just over a week for her.  Nevertheless, happy that she was able to be discharged from the last week of Dec23 to celebrate the crossing of the new year to 2024 at the comfort of HOME sweet HOME.  Grace.  The grace of our Lord.  Meeting her heart's desires to be home and not at the hospital.

This song "安然“ when I first heard it , I was almost in tears。  

In my HEART, I thot " Oh this is definitely meant for Connie!" It was only released in Sep 2023!

I opened my bible to Pro 3.  Yes, what a wonderful verse . So comforting.

This song lifted my spirit up.

Hope it did too to those who hear it. Connie too.

Timely.  Yes.  Thanks to A.

Father knows best.

He comforts like a Great Shepherd even when we walk in the valley of death. What is death? It is just a sleep away.  This home is not our real home.  We are merely pilgrims on the earth.  We are not permanent citizens here with permanent residency status .  Our Citizenship is above. When Connie called me just on Monday telling me " Mui, I think my time is up" What did I say? I said "It is ok  It will be alright" What fear? No fear. Just a temporary migration.  Till we meet again .
