O Glorious Day!

Sometimes life needs a soundtrack — to express the things that we
just can’t express in words. Yesterday, was just such a day.  Our
precious friends the Bassetts welcomed little baby Charlotte into the
world, and immediately she was whisked off to the NICU.  And so for the
sisters and brothers in Christ who know and love them, the day became a
day of nonstop prayer — of hoping for a miraculous moving of our Good
and able God.

I don’t believe it was a coincidence that the Lord sent an
unprecedented amount of snow.  It fell in big, beautiful flakes from
before we woke up until before we went to bed.  A foot of a white
reminder of His Sovereignty.  A spectacular display of His Glory.

So as the snow fell, the song that I sang was. . O Glorious
Day.  (Not sure who wrote it, but the artist on my ipod is the Jeff
Johnson band)

“Living He loved me.  Dying He saved me.  Buried He carried my sins far away.   Rising He justified, freely forever.  One day He’s coming . . . O Glorious Day!”

“

“One day the trumpet will sound for his coming.  One day the skies
with His glories will shine.  Wonderful day, my Beloved One’s
bringing.  Glorious Savior, this Jesus is mine!”

The pictures are from us playing in the snow both yesterday and today.  We’ve made snowmen, snow cream, slid down the driveway on a cookie sheet, drank hot chocolate with marshmellows, played Ms PacMan, and snuggled up to watch a movie.  Snow days are so fun — but only a shadow of that Glorious Day that we hope for!

Charlotte Jane passed away at just 6 days old.  We look forward to meeting her someday in heaven — on that Glorious Day.
