i was blessed to spend an afternoon at the Children's Village at Lions Park in Cheyenne recently. it was a chilly and windy afternoon where a small gathering of family and friends came together to remember and celebrate a life lived but a moment. they gathered to dedicate a place of peace, a place where children would gather and play for years, a place where melodies can ring out among the laughter and the giggles of the tiny feet that run about.
moments of silence were brought to an end by the sounds of the children running among us all. they would strike a melody in sara's place, giggle with glee as they dug in the sand, and shouted with joy at the chance to splash in the many water areas.
as we spent time walking around...thinking about a sweet life gone too soon i couldn't help but be watch all the children running around playing and and think about all that is and all that could be... all the hopes and dreams that were represented in each little foot print. as i reflected, thought and watched a song came to my heart-
"beautiful Lord" by Leeland "When the storm is raging all around me, You are the peace that calms my troubled sea and when the cares of this world darken my day You are the light that shines and shows me the way.
Oh, the beauty of Your majesty On the cross You showed Your love for me!
Beautiful Lord awesome and mighty, I’m captured by this love I see. Beautiful Lord tender and holy Your mercy brings me to my knees.
It’s Your mercy that has made me free, beautiful Lord.
When my sin is all that I can see Your grace remains the shelter that I seek and when my weakness is all I can give Your gentle Spirit gives me strength again and oh, the beauty of Your majesty on the cross You showed Your love for me.
And I am lifted by Your love to sing! It’s Your mercy that has made me free!
You’re beautiful, my Lord. You’re beautiful, my Lord"
it was a sweet day with friends... may Sara's song go on in the lives of those who loved her and knew her even if it was only for a moment....for moments are memories for a life time!
sing your song...play your melody....and dance!
