Reading: John 6: 35-40 Reflection: The following poem was written for a friend of mine on the day that I heard of the death of her mother who had been battling a terminal illness. That was on this day, in 1994. Hopefully this poem can help you in time of sorrow. –Chad Hershberger, Camp Mount Luther Director Life’s Roads Life is a beautiful thing From the moment we open our eyes, the world is ours We travel life's roads Singing, laughing, gazing at the stars. There are those moments When we find joy in little things, when small is best We travel life's roads When we are tired, we rest. There are those moments When we are filled with sadness, when tears are in our eyes We travel life's roads Often wondering how or why. We meet many people Of different backgrounds, different outlooks on life We continue our journey Stopping to join with a husband or wife. But nothing can prepare us When we lose someone we dearly treasure The emptiness we feel Is so hard to measure. In death there is new life A new road for our loved one to travel A new hope of eternal being A new joy to celebrate May the emptiness you feel now Be filled with great memories And as you travel life's roads Remember, a part of your mother lives on Not only eternally, but in you as well. May God Bless you in your time of sorrow And may you be surrounded in love in all your todays and tomorrows. Closing: Pray for those who are suffering loss right now.
