Jesus Loves the Little Children.....

     Jesus loves the little children..."for of such is the Kingdom of Heaven"  (Matt 19:14)

We were blessed to have our precious son, Clint, with us for a little over thirty years.  Clint was first diagnosed with a brain tumor and underwent surgery and radiation in 1976 when he was only 26 months old.  In 1997, we learned that he had different kinds of tumors caused by the radiation to "cure" the original tumors 21 years before!  He had a stroke the day after he turned 25.  On December 19, 2003, we were told that Clint's tumors were growing again and there were no options left for him.  So began Our Final Journey with our precious Clint. 

"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.  Now there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness."  ( II Tim 4:7,8)

Joyfully for him, but sadly for those of us  who love him so very much, Clint woke up in Heaven at 5:15 in the morning, December 3, 2004.  As we struggled through Christmas here on earth, Clint celebrated Christmas with Jesus this year.

“You Were Truly Loved”

 

If you could see where I have gone, the beauty of this place,
And how it feels to know you're home, to see the Savior's face.
To wake in peace and know no fear, just joy beyond compare,
While still on earth you miss me yet, you wouldn't want me there.

If you could see where I have gone, had made the trip with me
You'd know I didn't go alone, the Savior came with me.
When I awoke, He was by my side, and reached down His hand, and said,
"Hurry, You're going home, to a grand and glorious land.
Don't worry over those you love, for I'm not just with you.
And don't you know with you at home, they'll long to be here, too?"

If you could see where I have gone, and see what I've been shown,
You'd never know another fear, or ever feel alone.
You'd marvel at the care of God, His hand on every life,
And realize He really cares, and bears with us each strife.
And that he weeps when one is lost, His heart is filled with pain.
But oh! the joy! when one comes home, a child at home again.

If you could see where I have gone, could stay a while with me,
Could share the things that God has made to grace eternity.
But no, you couldn't ever leave, once Heaven's joy you'd known.
You couldn't bear to walk earth's paths, once Heaven was your home.

If you could see where I have gone, you'd know we'll meet someday,
And though I'm parted from you now, that I am just away.
So thank you Mother, thank you Father, for living for the Lord,
For teaching me to Love Him, to trust Him and His word.
And now that I am home with Him, secure in every way.

I'm waiting here at heaven's door, to greet you some sweet day.
 

 

I have not turned my back on you

So there’s no need to cry.

I’m watching you from Heaven,

Just beyond the morning sky.

I’ve seen you almost fall apart,

When you could barely stand.

I asked the Lord to comfort you,

And watched him take your hand.

He told me you were in more pain

Than I could ever be.

He wiped his eyes and swallowed hard,

Then gave your hand to me.

Although you may not feel my touch,

Or see me by your side,

I’ve whispered that I loved you,

While I wiped each tear you’ve cried.

So please try not to ache for me,

We’ll meet again one day.

Beyond the dark and stormy sky,

A rainbow lights the way.
