I want to share a poem that has brought me comfort and hope, I pray that you might find solace as well.
The Glory of the Fire Lily -Helen Steiner Rice
The crackling flames rise skyward
As the waving grass is burned,
But from the fire on the veld
A great truth can be learned…
For the green and living hillside
Becomes a funeral pyre
As all the grass across the veld
Is swallowed by the fire…
What yesterday was living, today is dead and still,
But soon a breathless miracle takes place upon the hill…
For, from the blackened ruins
There arises life anew
And scarlet lilies lift their heads
Where once the veld grass grew…
And so the mystery
of life and death is wrought,
And man can find assurance
In this soul-inspiring thought,
That from a bed of ashes
The fire lilies grew,
And from the ashes of our lives
God resurrects us, too.
I love you Colby. I hope you’re at peace now. We miss you.
My heart goes out to each of you and all I can do from here is just let you have God speak to you in his words. Matthew 5:4 says blessed are those that mourn, for they shall be comforted. Revelations 2:14 says “he will wipe every tear from their eyes” Psalm 34:18 says the Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the question spirit. And then of course Philippians 4:7 says the Peace of god, which surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. I am praying for all of you to find that comfort.
This is perfect! The Word of God will not fail!
my deepest sympathy to everyone regarding the loss of this sweet young man. lots of love and big hugs to everyone
