My daughter is watching a movie entitled with your name. She begins watching it, sensing that I’m sad, and tells me Jesus will dry your tears ... that’s what she remembers when she's feeling sad. I’m drawn to your movie now and I don’t resist. I’m reminded again you comfort me if only I give in. We pray silently and we’re off to bed. 1 place my Bible on my pillow next to me and put my arms around you. I surrender completely and the tears begin to flow. I pray to you, Heavenly Father, show me which way to go. I get so confused when I trust in only me. I know you'll guide me tomorrow when it's a brand new day, for tonight you reminded me you’re always there for me. You knew what you were doing when you lent her to me, my one and only child. I’m so grateful for everything you’ve given me. Oh thank you, Father, for the miracle you have given me. April 2003 □ Siletz News □ 11
