SOLACE
(dedicated to Mr. and Mrs. Dan Allen whose son has gone to heaven very recently and suddenly)
Oh, my friend, how can I send you cheer?
How can I speak words
that will brighten your day
When my eyes are filled with tears?
I would take your loss as my own,
but I know that cannot be.
I would carry all your sorrow ~
No, the load is too great for me.
Then I'll cry to God who loves us
And who will not leave your side.
I will plead with Him to carry you
And I'll be assured He will abide.
For God loves you with eternal love
And our Savior feels your pain.
Your anguished heart is precious to Him,
He'll bring you peace once again.
Though your spirit is faint within you,
In His strong arms, comfort will come.
He will carry you safely through the fire
In the heart of His risen Son.
Oh, my Comforter in sorrow,
my spirit is faint within me.
(Jeremiah 8:18)

That is the only thought I had, Connie, as I read your gentle but strength-producing words of comfort for the Allens. Bless GOD for your loving kindness. I am certain your words will be a balm to their souls.
I add my personal condolences and prayers for their shattered hearts and crushed spirits during this very deeply-saddening time of the loss of their precious son... Remind them for me: Father GOD understands this, like no other.
Love & Blessings, Rhonnie
