Your Dying Spouse 686 - Rooted in Christ, Rooted In Love {FMF}

It's been a stormy week, from the passing of Barb's da (click here if you'd like to read my tribute to a great man) to my own physical fabric failing to the point where "Don't give up!" feels like a hollow joke.

Especially when one has the runs that...wait for it...don't give up.

The thing is, what keeps you going isn't determination to push through the obstacles.

It's the Love that lifts you over them.

There's a storm about, I won't deny,

but I'm rooted where it's still.

Cancer wants me, yea, to die

but I'm very hard to kill.

I'm rooted in the love of Christ

and in the love I give,

saved by what He sacrificed,

and choosing life, I live.

Sure there's unimagined pain,

but no unconquerable sorrow,

for though I die, I still remain

in His bright tomorrow.

Though there be hard nights yet a-borning

in Jesus' world it's always morning.

Music from Barry Manilow, with I Made It Through The Rain.

Friends are everything. I couldn't have done it.
