The only tears that fall in heaven
Are drops of gentle April rain
Falling quietly in the mist of the valley
Showering down on the floras of Spring
Where the rose lifts her head toward Heaven
And welcomes the kiss of each drop on her cheek
And displays each droplet so proudly
Like tears of joy they stream down the face
The only tear drops that fall in Heaven
Fall from a fountain in a garden in May
Amid the peace and beauty of the blossoms
From the fountain of life they cascade
Heaven knows no tears apart from the ones
That dance in the tumult of a waterfall
Like tiny pearls they reveal their luster
As they promenade in the sweet November sun
So remember when you think of me
And the teardrops begin to fall
The only tears that are known in Heaven
Are tears of the greatest joy
No tears of sorrow shall befall me in Heaven
And though no longer in your arms
If you must shed tears and weep'
Dry those tears of sorrow
And cry tears of joy for me!

Twenty-four hours in a day, seven days in a week, fifty-two weeks in a year.
Breakfast time, lunch time, nap time, dinner time, bed time. Measurable time. A lifetime.
Time was created to help us determine where we are at any given point during a lifetime. It's time for growing up. It's time to save for the future. It's time to eat. It's time to sleep. There is a time for everything. Time to reap. Time to sew. There's a time to laugh, a time to cry, a time to grieve, a time to hang on, and a time to let go.
A loved one dies, and we hear, "It was their time." I always want to ask, "Oh, according to WHO?" There is never a right time. Death always comes at the wrong time. But what is this "time" I'm referring to?
Can you, with all your worries and woes, add one single moment in time to your life's clock? Can you add some extra hours to a day for doing other things you've put off for so long? I think not. So for just a moment, I'm going to ask you to think about God's perspective of "time".
God is eternal. He was in the beginning and has been for all time. There has never been a time that God was not. Oh, it's so difficult for a finite mind to understand an infinite God. But because of his infinite existence, our menial measurements of time mean nothing to Him. When He looks at you, He actually sees you in the eternal present!
"What does that mean?" you ask.
It's quite a concept to grasp: the eternal present. It means that God doesn't see you as you are this very instant, as your children, family or others see you. He sees you from the moment you were conceived in his thoughts until the end of all eternity, today being only a miniscule portion of the "you" in all of His plan.
From the beginning of time until the end of time, He sees you completely in an instant. Inside and out. Forever and always. every aspect of "you". He sees your past, your present, and your future all at the same time. No wonder we have so much trouble grasping that concept.
Time on earth is so very short. God's time is infinite. Never ending. So is His love, and both His love and His timing are always perfect.
How very different our lives would be if we could but see our own selves in that eternal present. The trials that would seem suddenly insignificant, the joys that would seem so abundant!

I'LL ALWAYS BE THERE
My suffering is over
My pain is through,
I'm with the Lord
You will be too.
I can still watch you
So please don't cry,
I'm not in a grave
I'm with God On High.
I'll be watching in the morning
At the first crack of light,
I'll be sneaking a kiss
In the middle of the night.
When you think of me
I'll be there,
I'll see your tears
I know you care.
I live in the Lord
And He lives in me,
So in your heart
I'll always be.
For if He lives in me
And He lives in you,
And I live in Him
I live in you too.
So I'll always be there
We'll never be apart,
I'll be with Him
Deep in your heart.

My heart goes out to you today.
I am so sorry for what you
are having to go through.
More than anything, I wish
I could make things easier for you.
I do pray continuously for God
to give you strength,
and I know that in time He will.
In the meantime, remember that
I am here for you;
even more importantly, God is, too.
Rely on God's love,
and know that He will never
leave you or ignore your needs.
In our weakness, God's strength
can become our strength,
when we lean upon the promises
of His healing touch.

I Thought Of You
I thought of you with love today,
but that is nothing new.
I thought about you yesterday, and
the day before that, too.
I think of you in silence,
I often say your name,
But all I have is memories and
your picture in a frame.
Your memory is my keepsake,
with which I'll never part.
God has you in his keeping,
I have you in my heart.
I shed tears for what might have been,
a million times I've cried.
If love alone could have saved you,
you never would have died.
In life I loved you dearly,
in death I love you still,
In my heart you hold a place
no one could ever fill.
It broke my heart to lose you,
but you didn't go alone,
For part of me went with you,
the day God took you home.
