When I wake up in the land of Glory
(Lyrics to Big Daddy Weaves, Yours Will Be)
What was he thinking when he woke in the land of Glory?
My red headed boy.
The one who laughed rich.
Blues eyes twinkling.
Temper bubbling just below the surface as he wrestled with this world.
Big strong hands like his daddy.
These things.
I think on.
These things I miss.
And with the Saints I will tell my story.
Our story.
Still not finished.
His.
So young.
Completed.
The thought still rips like a knife.
Presses hard on my heart.
Threatening to pull me under.
So I cling.
To the Word.
To the Hope.
And now, the farmers daughter.
Her story.
Intertwined with a foreign culture.
A piece of her still there.
Longing for the land which cries out with so many needs.
Her story at 17.
The same age as her red headed brother.
In 6 months, she will surpass him in age.
Her story.
Pointing heavenward.
Leaning in.
Seeking.
There will be One Name that I proclaim.
There is only One Name we proclaim.
There is one focus.
This place; not our home.
Until we take our last breath.
Proclaiming His name.
Where will we go?
How will we serve?
Have you asked these questions?
This ministry.
Working to restore; heal.
Fulfilling the words;
Isaiah 1:17
Learn to do right; seek justice.
Defend the oppressed.
Take up the cause of the fatherless; plead the case of the widow.
We pray.
We wait.
We hope
Big Daddy Weave
Yours Will Be
I’ve seen people speculate about this fantasy before but never in this detail with this much care. This is a truly incredible story you’re telling. Plus, I’ve listened to two of the playlists on iTunes where you can “preview all” and they actually do sound like Beatles albums. Fun!
Hot water will help – not running water, though, just fill up a tub or something. Not sure if that gets ‘em out or just makes ‘em feel better. The splinters should be gone in a few days.Try a paste of baking soda rubbed on the affected areas–works with invisible cactus spinesTry a paste of baking soda rubbed on the affected areas–works with invisible cactus spinesEpsom salts speeds up the process, definetely. It is an ages old cure for drawing stuff out. Hot water alone won’t do anything
