He had never hurt so bad before,

the searing pain tore through his small body.

Every move he made only caused more pain, there was no way to get away from it.

He tried to lay very, very still;

but it even hurt to breathe.

He turned his head slightly and looked out at the star filled sky.

Then gently he whispered "I love you".

A soft gentle whisper came back to him,

"I love you too".

He whispered,

"Can't I come home now,

then pain is so bad?"

The answer came back in a quite whisper,

"Come home now, come on home."

A frail little hand reached up into the shaft of silver light that had now filled his room.

The warm light enveloped the tiny boy, then faded away.

The boy was now free of pain,

he will never be abused again.

For now he is nestled in the arms of the Father.

He looks up into warm brown eyes and whispers,

"I love you,

thank you for bringing me home."

He snuggles down in those big strong arms and sleeps peacefully for the first time in a long time.

The Father holds him close and whispers,

"I love you too."

At the Master's Knee

At the Master's Knee

Early one morning several weeks back,

before the sun woke the day,

God stepped out on the balconly of Heaven and whispered her name.

She recognized His voice for she loved Him so,

and had for many years.

Without hesitation she answered His call and her Saviour and Lord came to our

house that morning and took her home.

Here she couldn't see very well and her legs were full of pain.

But now she stands on brand new legs and her eyes are sparkling new.

She's back with many friends and family that made their way home first.

She's in His beautiful garden;

enjoying flowers that never die.

She sits beneath a crystal sky on grass of deepest green.

She walks the street of purest gold down to the river of life.

She soaks in all the beauty that surrounds her everywhere;

she once again sees the colors that had almost faded away.

But what she loves the most is Him; for now she is in His presence.

She walks and talks and sits with Him and tells Him of her love for Him.

Even though we miss her so,

she is right where she wants to be,

for she is in His presence,

sitting at the Master's knee.
