This is my birthday present from my mom. She wrote it yesterday, and dedicated it to me.
She is raising the "rest of the family" I have the youngest 3 she has the oldest 6. They are hitting their teenage years, and life is getting very very complicated.
My 15 year old brother--my adopted kids blood sibling has just been diagnosed with bi-polar. And is in lock-up because he's decided my parents hate him. And yet my mom can sing this.....
TONIA'S SONG by Charlotte
The love of God is there for me
True, unchanged, how can it be.
I may forget and from it stray;
But it remains unchanged from day to day.
The love of God shown through His Son;
He has fought my fight, the victory won.
When I'm confused and lose my way
He's close at hand to save the day.
The love of God will see me through.
I will not doubt. I know its true.
This truth will set me free I know
To be His child, to rejoice, to grow.
The love of God some glorious day
Will bring me home to heaven to stay.
I'll love Him then as He loves me.
O perfect love! How can it be!
May we all be able to sing this as the memories of a year ago go through our heads. And if you can't sing it.....may I share with you how to learn to sing it.
