Forty years ago
Today
Cinco de Mayo
of 1982
Seven men left this world for Another.
Leaving
Behind
Seven widows and
A dozen children
Suddenly
Fatherless
Spouseless
Alone.
A tragic accident
A plane crash.
It makes no sense.
Does much of life?
The shock
The grief
The anger
The hole they left behind.
Where were You
In that moment?
Just sitting idly by?
When things looked bleak
And prayers went Up
Straight to Your Heavenly Throne Room
Were Your winged servants waiting
At the Ready
for the Word
To Go
To Aid
To Rescue
To Help
To Intervene?
Yet no Word was given.
Or…
was it?
What if—
Surely not—
You
Answered.
But
Your
Answer
was
NO.
Really
Lord?
The
All
Powerful
One
The Sovereign
The Mighty
The Great.
How
Could
You?
Why
Would
You?
Why
Death?
Why
Suffering?
Trust Me,
My child.
You
Whisper
Again and Again
To my Heart.
You cannot see what I See.
You do not know The End.
Keep Walking
My Child
Stay Faithful.
Keep Hoping.
Keep Loving.
Believe.
Oh Father.
I believe.
Help my unbelief!
I Am
My Child
I Am.
You are not alone.
I am Doing a Good Work.
I Promise.
Right Here,
Right Now,
In this place.
Hang on
A little longer
Hang on
and
You Shall See
I cannot wait to show you.
To see the look on your face
When you will stand in My Presence
And Bathe in my Grace.
