I don't know what to say about the heartache that I am facing now. It is the one of the things a mother prays she never will have to go through. My youngest son is in jail and in all probabilities will serve time in prison. He was arrested on drug charges and I won't go into detail; it is heartbreaking and embarrassing just saying that he is in jail.

I tried to get him out with a property bond; unfortunately my property isn't valuable enough and also they told me I haven't went through succession to put the property in my name only. Another detail that I haven't had done. Running around trying to get a handle on this mess, is what I have been doing during my three day weekend.

I haven't forgotten to praise God for the Resurrection of Christ. He is upper most in my mind and heart. I don't understand why I have to have so much pain in my life. I love the Lord and I know it is not for me to understand; to just believe, but it is so hard.

Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
St. John 20:19

He Lives


I serve a risen Saviour,
He's in the world today;
I know that He is living,
Whatever men may say;
I see His hand of mercy,
I hear His voice of cheer,
And just the time I need Him
He's always near.

In all the world around me
I see His loving care,
And tho my heart grows weary
I never will despair;
I know that He is leading
Thro' all the stormy blast,
The day of His appearing
Will come at last.

Rejoice, rejoice, O Christian,
Lift up your voice and sing
Eternal hallelujahs
To Jesus Christ the King!
The hope of all who seek Him,
The help of all who find,
None other is so loving,
So good and kind.

Chorus:

He lives, He lives, Christ Jesus lives
today!
He walks with me and He talks with me
Along life's narrow way.
He lives, He live, salvation to impart!
You ask me how I know He lives:
He lives within my heart.
