Our beautiful day was ending. We sat together watching the sun set. I had no powers within me to hold it back. It was sinking and our wonderful day was ending. Powerless, we held hands and darkness over took the evening sky.
Thursday my dearest brother in law died. Without word nor warning, he simply DIED. There will be no more sun sets or sun rises for him. He is dead. Why Lord, I asked? Why now? A mere six weeks before his retirement. Why now? No answers came to me.
Our hearts are numb with grief. My lovely husband is grieving for his brother. Seeing his pain, doubles mine.
Perhaps the days of our lives are like that sunset. Slowly slipping away from us. Beautiful, colorful, sometimes stunning. Yet each belongs to our Lord. The Lord who gives. The Lord who takes away.
