Bible Marginalia- Seek Good

Bible Marginalia Series- #110

Today my heart is heavy.

Right before I was going to hit publish

 on this post I saw the news on FB

 that Bible Journaler and designer Heidi Swapp 

lost one of her sons.

For this section in Amos I had used 

some of the hearts and butterflies 

that come in one of her packets

 of embellishments.

I sat down and reread the words.

SEEK GOOD....

so

THE LORD,

the GOD of hosts shall be with you.

I almost deleted the post.  

Then I read back over it

 and saw that in some ways this post

 is a prayer for the SWAPP family.

 For the heart of a momma 

who has sought the LORD.

For a family in deep loss.

To KNOW- that the LORD, 

the GOD of HOSTS

shall be with them ALL. 

 As I looked at the page,

 I saw the heart filled with LOVE.

  The butterflies ascending-

Reminders of ETERNAL LIFE.

 NEW lIFE

Nothing on this earthly journey matters 

other than the relationships we hold dear.

And we are often reminded that our

 children are ours for AWHILE.

  To Heidi Swapp and her family-

 we hold you in our prayers.

This post is to bring light to honor

 the way that you have touched many lives.

And today- across the miles-

 we hold you close in our hearts.

 as we lift you all to the Heavenly Father. 

May His Grace surround you 

with His abundance-

 beyond our man understanding.
