A BROTHER’S LOVE

If we could tell you

All of the times you touched our heart, how you made it smile

How we laughed til we cried, each time you got a cold we were     right by your side,

Brother you were always our rock, and best friend

This will be a long hard road until we meet again,

Oh we know we’ll be together one day

Gentle giant rest in power,

We have some of the strongest angels with us every step of the way

They say time heals

But this time hurts

We won’t look for answers

Dear brother we dare not ask God why

We all can and will say you’re gone too soon, never good bye, but for now….. brother you will be sorely missed By Sonya Jackson

THE GIFT OF TEARS

Many of us have experienced that strange crossover from crying one moment and laughing the next.  It’s an amazing gift that emotions of both sorrows and joy can provide a physical release in this way.

Since we are made in God’s image, and humor is such an integral part of almost every culture, we imagine that Jesus must have had a wonderful sense of humor.  Because no one could make us laugh harder than our brother, Junebug!   But we know that God also knew the pain of grief.  When His friend Lazarus died, Jesus saw Mary weeping, and Jesus groaned in the spirit and was troubled.  A short time later, Jesus too began to weep.

Our ability to express our emotions with tears is a gift, and God keeps track of each tear we cry.  Psalm 56:8 says You keep track of all of our sorrows.  You have collected all our tears in Your bottle.  You have recorded each one in Your book.  But one day- we are promised, God will wipe every tear.

God here are some more tears…….Sonya Jackson 

May God comfort you in the loss of Edward Jackson. 

May it be a source of inner strength to know that there's a loving God watching over you and that throughout this time of need, He'll stay close by your side.
