More of Jack's thoughts
Today.
Leafing through the book
He loved to read, The Utmost For
His Highest, I found
Notes in the margin on the
Day Mary Lou died.
"This morning at 8 half of my life
Left me for her Real home.
Help me dear God and fill
That void with your
Everlasting Arm and all sufficient
Grace."
I read his words with reverence,
Sensing his suffering.
The day after her funeral,
He revealed more of his heart.
"Thank you Lord Jesus
For completing my last
Assignment. I'm back at your
Altar.
What do you desire of me now?
Speak Lord when you know
I am able.
I love you and am ready to be
Offered up."
I wept at his words.
My prayer mimics his.
Jack showed me how he
Coped with Mary Lou's death,
And it's how I want to cope with
His.
