For Kenny

 

There is a time when tears are shed,

And days seem dark and dim;

The only thing that matters then

Is "Did you live your life for Him?"

 

There is a One who sees our life,

And knows each thought and deed,

And though on earth they say we fail,

We know in Him we can succeed.

 

Dear Lord, it's hard to understand

Why things like this take place.

But Lord, You've told us in Your Word

That You will give us endless grace.

 

Dear Lord, it's hard to understand

Why things like this take place.

But now we know he's there with You.

With endless joy he sees Your face.

 

And though, my friend, you're dead and gone,

Through memory you live still.

In heaven we will meet again.

God said it, and I know we will.

Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints.  Psalms 116:15

 

Kenny died many years ago at age 15.   Although I haven't seen him or talked to him in all this time, there will be a day when I'll walk up to him in heaven and say, "Isn't God wonderful!"

 

Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be; but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.

I John 3:2
