He (God) will wipe every tear from their eyes.
There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain...
Revelation 21:4
I'm tired of tears filling my eyes at the most unexpected times. When I'm driving, when I'm sitting at my desk, when I'm walking my dogs, when people ask if I have any children (though that isn't an unexpected time for tears to come, the question always catches me off-guard), when someone says something thoughtlessly insensitive (I'm sure the intent is not to hurt, but it seems like people have forgotten Mayah, my daughter, they have forgotten my pain). The tears are always there, just below the surface. Even in the midst of laughter, they are there. I'm amazed that I even have any tears left. I feel like I've already shed enough tears for 10 lifetimes since November 30, 2009. ...the Lord Almighty...will swallow up death forever.
The Sovereign Lord will wipe away the tears from all faces.
Isaiah 25:8
Mayah Joy, Like the most exotic bird you flew into our lives creating the most beautiful colors with the sweet fragrance of your spirit demanded our attention...and as we all knew you would captured our very hearts. Praise be to the MOST HIGH GOD for you Mayah Joy for in the wake of the few moments we were able to behold the essence of your beauteous presence, you brought with you the revelation of GOD's mysteries for me. In the very intesity of your eyes, seemingly seeing straight through me...appealing to my heart for HIS glory you brought such clarity to me. Your spirit knew my spirit and I yours sweet Joy..I understood in that moment this most reassuringly precious sweet spirit that I always felt hovering around and encircling me with love had been yours, such peace you emanate Angel of GOD. Every doubt I ever had or every thing I wonder dissipated in the very inkling your eyes connected with mine. Selfishly, Mayah Joy, I believe with my whole heart that the MOST AWESOME GOD sent you down to earth just for me. But for a moment sweet Joy GOD honored me with the sheer pleasure of basking in HIS HEAVENLy creation...I adore you...I had so many laid out plans for me and you sweet Joy. I thought of tea parties and American Girl dolls, buying your first pair of baby Birkenstocks just like mommies....the cookies and cakes we would make to fatten up your mommy and daddy because they wouldn't have been able to resist a treat made by you. I think of you so often Mayah Joy...it is extremely painful when I do...so many tears from me missing you. My only consolation is that with "JOY" overflowing into my soul, I know you're with our "FATHER, ABBA" in a much better place than me flying around with your magnificently radiant, beautiful wings. Save a place for Auntie sweet Joy...Auntie's little Angel...I love you always & forevermore sweet Joy. I look forward to dancing with you sweet Angel of Joy!
