A mothers inner thoughts. (AAB CCB-446-446)

Surgery had been offered to me as a 10 yr old, but after mum spoke to a cousin of hers,who was a nurse, she decided  to NOT put me through it - just incase.  

A mothers inner thought prior to adult offspring {me}having neuro surgery. {see comment, below.}

I watched you grow 
While praying, so
A cure, it would be found.
My heart was sore,  
I prayed some more
Each time you "fell to ground".

My eyes did weep, 
Who, would you, keep
When dad and I were gone?
And yes, it’s true,
I prayed that you
Would NOT be left alone.

But then a glim
Of hope from Him
I’ll tell you, I WAS scared
The years of pain
Had been my bane 
I’ll know not, how you fared.

The choice was yours,
YOU fought the wars
Of anguish, when it hit.
I prayed with dad
That we’d be glad
Your choice would make them quit.

I feared the worst
Would you be cursed?
You’d know not, dad nor me.
Your memory gone?
A star that shone?
We prayed the BEST, would be.

That evening came 
Would we HIM blame?
We visited to see,
And from afar, 
HE .............. GAVE............. ME ..............POWER,
Whene’er you winked at me.

But NOW I’m pleased,
My mind has eased
The right choice you DID make,
I’m glad we knew
The seizure-less you,
Before us, HE did take.




Note: Mum thought I might have had memory issues after my surgery and after winking at her from afar, she looked at my dad saying in a delighted voice "Oh Bobby, he knows us"

The evening after the surgery, as I was walking to the washroom with my I.V. on tow, I saw my parents and wife down the corridor. I winked at them and my mother said to my father "Oh Bobby, he knows us"

To Know, Know, Know Him. {song}

To know, know, know Him, Is to love, love, love Him, Just to walk His way, In His will, to stay, Yes. to know, know, know Him, Is to love, love, love Him, And I do, yes I do, do you? When He died for me, On that cruel tree, He endured such agony Just so He could set me free, He rose again triumphantly And He lives in Heav'n eternally, He wants you and me there too. Why can't men see How vast His love be? Some day He'll return To take His own to Glory. To know, really know Him, Is to love, truly love Him Live for Him each day, In His will, obey, Yes to know, know, know Him, Is to love, love, love Him And I know, He loves you too.                                                                                       ...

Addenda to 'Who is this man'

Who is this Man Addenda (in blue) to an anthem by Mary Kay Beall entitled Who is this Man? sung in my home church choir a few years ago. Who is this man upon a cross By love's decree, brought low? They say He came to save the world Because God loved us so The King of Kings And Lord of Lords Eternally He'll reign Can it be true He died for me And yes, would die again Who is this man upon the cross? He is a friend to me And though I oft Him disappoint His love has set me free The King of Kings And Lord of Lords He took my sin and pain And yes it's true He died for me, But will return again
