| HEALED AND WHOLE
One day I dug a little hole And put my hurt inside I thought that I could just forget I'd put it there to hide. But that little hurt began to grow I covered it every day I couldn't leave it and go on It seemed the price I had to pay. My joy was gone, my heart was sad Pain was all I knew. My wounded soul enveloped me Loving seemed too hard to do. One day, while standing by my hole I cried to God above And said, "If You are really there -- They say, You're a God of Love!" And just like that -- He was right there And just put His arms around me He wiped my tears, His hurting child There was no safer place to be. I told Him all about my hurt I opened up my heart He listened to each and every word To every sordid part. I dug down deep and got my hurt I brushed the dirt away And placed it in the Master's hand And healing came that day. He took the blackness of my soul And set my spirit FREE! Something beautiful began to grow Where the hurt used to be. And when I look at what has grown Out of my tears and pain I remember every day to give my hurts to Him And never bury them again. by Carol Parrott |
| We are not so far from you,
Just a little way beyond; Past the cares and past the pain, Far past our earthly bonds. When you feel you miss us most, As years go drifting by; Each memory will prove to you, That our love will never die. For memories are but a touch, From the Father's gentle hand; To heal your pain and mend your hearts, To help you understand... That while we left you far too soon, We did not leave alone; For the Father sent His angels, To gently take us home. Take comfort when you think of us, Keep our love alive in your heart; And with the warmth of each memory, We will never be apart. Allison Chambers Coxsey c1999 |

| Dear Friends,
March is our most difficult month, because it our son's heaven date on the 5th, and his birthday on the 12th. We are very blessed to have so many wonderful memories of Adam, but sadly we wished we could have more. Adam was a loving and devoted son, brother, daddy, husband, grandson, nephew, cousin, and friend. Knowing he could have been saved, but someone chose not to, is the hardest part for us to accept. We will be lighting his candles and sending balloons to him, as we recall fond memories of his precious life with us here on earth. We look forward to that glorious day when we can all be together once more. We miss you every second of every day Adam, and love you with all our hearts!! Mom, Dad, brother - Jared, & daughter - Madilyn MY BIRTHDAY IN HEAVEN I see my cake below with candles shining like heaven stars, I wish that I could ease your pain with the sound of my guitar. Please wipe away your tears for I am not that far away, I'm with Jesus and the angels that is where I'll be today. Don't be sad or worried about how I'm doing at this point in time, Just know that I'm okay here, and yes I'm doing fine. I hear the many memories that you hold so dear and close, And even though I'm not there with you, I cherish them all the most. I have so many words to tell you of all the joy that your voice brings, For it is beyond description of how I feel to hear you remembering me. I know how much you miss me....I can see all the pain inside, But I can't even begin to express how much you shouldn't cry. I would tell you of the beauty and peace up here, but there are no words to explain, I'll be there with you through thick and thin....through sunshine and the rain. I'll ask Him to fill your hearts with happiness as I tell Him of your love, So now pray for one another as you lift your eyes above. You'll see me smiling way up high as you let go of my balloon, And as we watch yours lead the way we will let ours go with you. Please let your hearts be joyful and let your spirits sing, For I am spending my 26th birthday in heaven with the angels and king. Love, Adam ....Your Loving Angel in the Sky |
