Be Still

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.

Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.

If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

May God continue to shine down his mercy on your family during this time of berevement. The word says "I will look to the hills from whence cometh my help". Continue to look to God and he will send you comfort from on high.
