I am listening for your prayer. I wait all day and night just to hear your prayers. Please don't withhold them. Please still yourself so that you can pray.").<br /><br />Then I realized the three other stanzas could also be seen (in our over-simplified human way) as if spoken to me by God. He sees me always almost there, right at the edge, and He hopes that I will make it home to Him. That I will stop offering Him a cloudy version of me - that instead I will offer Him myself full and pure. Assuring me that he will never give up on me. And letting me know that I actually hold the key to whether I will accept His help so that I can make the journey all the way home...Robb in Ave Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08517200032595578789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4535866332510664166.post-77836949890235232992014-01-09T13:05:40.762-05:002014-01-09T13:05:40.762-05:00A friend sent me a wonderful note in reply:

I pray you really will see through the veil and glimpse the beauty that beckons beyond the limits of time and space, to be with your dear son, and to know that he is in the Great Embrace! We are all in this together, bless you Rob, and all your dear family.Evie & Davyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09978909312875344776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4535866332510664166.post-79946425658423160652014-01-07T20:01:29.899-05:002014-01-07T20:01:29.899-05:00Thank you for sharing this!
