The world is vast, wild and unpredictable and I often think we forget the wonders of God’s creation. It seems so simple to us yet we never truly understand how small we are, living on a small form of God’s hand that sits in a small form of endlessness that goes on forever. We often only look at the bodies that come and go, as we know they will. The spirit however, what about the spirit? The symbol of something far more beautiful than any natural wonder in the world. Far more beautiful than the beauty of what science has to show through a lens that will never show us truly how beautiful the worlds beyond ours truly are. The spirit that bonds a mother and child, the spirit that feels a million different sensations only from its human perspective. The spirit that will fly and fly and fly into an endless wonder of God’s love. We do not know what it truly means to live until a spirit is set free. Our bodies are only cages keeping us grounded in one life. Then as we take our last breathes we are able to live in a beauty that we never see here. Our sweet mother is living in that beauty. No longer bound to a body but living as an essences in the glory of God’s kingdom. Her ears hear the sweetest music that only angels can hear. Her body is weightless and sin has no place to ever weigh her down again. She stands young and strong and unbroken before our savior. Celebrating in dance and song. Laughing and rejoicing in all of God’s love.
