Shades of evening on Felicity's birthday

Celebrating my daughter's special day, and thanking God for His giving of her precious and brief life that has had such a profound effect on many people's lives.

Remembering my kindred friend & sister Pat with a thankful, indebted heart for her constant support and love every single day that I needed her so desperately. Thank You, dear Lord, for knitting our hearts so closely together.

Although the sorrow is still very heavy on her "anniversary" days...Jesus Christ has put a crown on my sad earthly loss with own His blessed peace, quietness and assurance of a sweet reunion one day.

"I have wrestled on towards Heaven,
'Gainst storm, and wind, and tide:
Now, like a weary traveller,
That leaneth on his guide,
Amid the shades of evening,
While sinks life's ling'ring sand,
I hail the glory dawning
From Immanuel's land."
--Samuel Rutherford
