I Long for the Easier Times

                   A new day arrived and here we are already nearing the end of it.
                    Amazing how fast days go and how fast our lives do the same.

       So I long today for the easier times when the loved ones who have left me were still around.
  I long for the easier times when my heart did not know the searing loss of a son, my mother's absence and long days of pain.
   I long for the Spring when the sound of the peeper's is so loud you can hardly sleep.
I long for the Summer and the heat it brings, the tall grass and butterflies and creepy crawly things.
   I long for the easier days when youth was secure along with the the color that was in my hair.
I long for the freedom to walk with ease and not know of the heartache of dreaded disease .
   I long for the easier times when mom was my closest friend and she told me stories of day without end.
 I long for my Jesus to wake me in Heaven and the freedom that comes as I see eternity.
    Along with this longing I thankfully praise for all that I have known and the Savior who sees.
Along this journey I walk hand in hand with the One who has taken the Victory Dance. The dance of the savior who lived and then died , only to rise with eternity His. I praise for the freedom to know I am saved and knowing I will one day see the one's I  love once again.
    I long for the streets of God and the Lord who took my sins and carried them to the cross for cleansing of them.
  I praise him and thank him for the children he gave and the blessings of a life with each single one.
 

 Today I am longing for the easier days that passed far faster than I would have foreseen. I long for the touch of the baby hand reaching. I long for the sweetness of toddlers creeping. I long for the words of a child to his mother when still an innocent love for his mother.
  As this day is ending I lift up my heart to the giver of life and thank Him again for the life I have.
 

Lord Jesus,
 Thank you for the days I live and what you give. Thank you for the kids and the fun we have had. Thank you for grandchildren and the sweet sounds of love. I Love you Jesus and need your compassion in every longing I have for the easier days.  Thank you, Jesus,  amen .
