Confessions of a Peace Lover...

Tomorrow it will be eleven years that my dad took his last breath of earth-air and first breath of Heaven. It seems like a lot of my friends are going thru that process lately, the process of saying good-bye and knowing that it is best for the one they love, but knowing the ache of loss is so hard for those of us who are left breathing earth-air.

Today, in memory of my dad and in support of all who have walked or are walking this path, I give you the words to a song that has come to mean so much to me:

If You Could See Me Now

(Kim Noblitt)

               Our prayers have all been answered. I finally arrived.

The healing that had been delayed has now been realized.

No one's in a hurry. There's no schedule to keep.

We're all enjoying Jesus, just sitting at His feet.

 If you could see me now, I'm walking streets of gold.

If you could see me now, I'm standing strong and whole.

If you could see me now, you'd know I've seen His face.

If you could see me now, you'd know the pain is erased.

You wouldn't want me to ever leave this place,

If you could only see me now.

My light and temporary trials have worked out for my good,

To know it brought Him glory when I misunderstood.

Though we've had our sorrows, they can never compare.

What Jesus has in store for us, no language can share. 

If you could see me now, I'm walking streets of gold.

If you could see me now, I'm standing strong and whole.

If you could see me now, you'd know I've seen His face.

If you could see me now, you'd know the pain is erased.

You wouldn't want me to ever leave this place,

If you could only see me now.

                  You wouldn't want me to ever leave this perfect place

If you could only see me now.

Until next time.

Beth
