Today, I walked out to the edge of the woods and saw evidence of rebirth. There were shoots of bright green breaking out of the brown winter dormancy. There were little fairy flowers of purple, blue and white. Then sun was still above the trees, though setting fast and I saw evidence of new buds. I felt small. I looked up into the blue sky and wondered how can I explain this to you, the ones reading this, without sounding like a crazy woman shy of a load... and I decided I probably can't and it probably doesn't matter.
I felt the wind. And I wondered about the ministering angels that God has sent for me, as I am one who inherited His salvation? (Hebrews 1:14) I thanked God for these same angels that were there to carry Aiden through the heavenlies. I imagined his eyes wide with amazement as he saw things that no one has seen that is here on this earth. I know he wasn't afraid, I know he knew where he was going. He was going to live with his eternal heavenly Father. I can imagine the strength, the kindness these angels had. I imagine that as they came to the Father, these very same angels placing him on the lap of this most wonderful God. I am so thankful that just as these angels were there to minister and carry Aiden, so too were there angels taking care of Dewey.
And when I was thinking about this, I too thought about the fact that I am enjoying creation, but glory to God, Aiden is in the presence of the Creator! Just think, to see where sin has never been. Just think.
So on this Valentines day, I took a stick and in the dirt I drew a heart and put a big A there. And I asked God to please tell Aiden he is still my first grandchild valentine. And one day I will be there with him. Because this world is not my home, I am a stranger looking for a city.
