Then we link up, read the post directly before ours, leave a comment and encourage our fellow writers in the process. Because that's what it's all about.
Today's prompt is:'In between'
START....
In between
In-between life and death
lies despair and dying
hopes crushed and crying
And we have love and laughter
expectation of joy ever after
with family and friends
when losing loved ones is not the end
Waiting for healing that doesn't always come
seeing grace revealing Jesus as God's Son
we try and we falter to live life aright
in this topsy-turvy world of pain and sadness
where you still shine your Light
So we continue believing all will be better
your goodness receiving in word, deed and letter
Our hearts yearn for more than eyes can see
as we cling to today for all we are worth
knowing tomorrow brings forth
new hope, life and birth
With the rising of each morning sun
help us stay eager for the hope to come
as to your hand we faithfully cling
When all feels overwhelming
keep us resting in the peace
and calm only you can bring
keep us resting in the peace
and calm only you can bring
to comfort our hearts as we linger
in between this world and the next
Help us do our part
by living faithful
by living faithful
to all things unseen
proclaiming your Truth with zeal and zest
ushering in your kingdom to come
with grateful hearts
ushering in your kingdom to come
with grateful hearts
as we finally enter your rest

STOP.
"For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal" ~ 2 Corinthians 4:17-18
