Always There

Kirstin is growing up so fast. This past week she got her Patriarchal Blessing. For those of you who aren't members of our church I'll explain it. It's a blessing we receive in our church to help guide you in your life. You have to request it when you are spiritually ready. Kirstin decided with the advent of High School this was the right time for her so on Sunday she was able to get it. It was a very spiritual time. I had fasted and prayed for her and the spirit was so very strong.

I felt Kai there so strongly that it was as if he was dancing around the room. I can't begin to express how comforting this was. I know that Kai is with us in our lives, on and off, as we need him to be. I've felt that since he passed but this was different. I guess to me it was a testimony that just because his body isn't here on the earth his spirit won't be absent from the important events of our lives. When our children are married, he'll be there, whenever we celebrate something truly significant, he will in spirit along side with us. What a beautiful blessing this faith and knowledge brings to our lives. It's like one of my favorite hymns.

I Stand all Amazed

I Stand all amazed at the love Jesus offers me.

Confused at the grace which so fully he proffers me.

I tremble to know that for me he was crucified,

Sufficient to own, to redeem, and to justify.

Oh it is wonderful, that he should care for me, enough to die for me.

Oh it is wonderful, wonderful to me.
