Let It Be.

"Let the children come to me, and do not prevent them; for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."

- Matthew 19:14

-----------------------------------------------------------

The blessing of a child caresses the cheeks of God today. Angels wings spread far and wide into depths of clouds made of mercy and grace, love and tenderness. The roads, paved golden and full of rejoice, welcome the tiny feet of a baby abounding with new life. Those above us spread palms of happiness and care throughout the skies. Today, God has been given a gift. Today, a baby surrounds heaven with love.

This little gift, little gift of pride and joy...of purity and serenity...of beauty and simplicity...he will shine his light on the world above him and below. No longer together but forever wrapping himself around the lives on earth. Protecting. Loving. Serving. Living. Blessing. Strengthening all who know him and given the opportunity to meet him. He won't stop living.

As people come and go, as society continues to function, remember. Remember this day and remember this baby. Remember the calm of his laugh and tears through the smiles of giggles. Remember the soft touch and gentle hands pressing yours. Remember his life and be thankful for the day. Remember how he hugged you and in every movement how subtle his love was. Remember the little life that lives on.

Tears of sadness might fall to our laps and soak our soul with unanswered reasons, but it's he who won't let you crumble. He's holding our Savior's hand and watching with praise to you. A broken and shattered heart will be pieced back together by his strength and love for you. With sorrow and pain left in your hands, will he be able to crawl into your arms and no longer let you feel what he cannot understand. But he does. He's with you and knows. And he'll capture what's left of you and bring you back to life. Because his will is meant to do so. His glory reaches God and the heavens beyond. His faith brings you closer to him. Just imagine it. Just believe it. Just feel it.

For though they may be parted there is still a chance that they will see, there will be an answer.

Let it be.
