when you wonder where your purpose is…

It was late and the car was dark…his heart was sad, mostly tired, but sad.
So was his mom’s.
Same tears, different fears.
And as she reached her arm back to take hold of his sweet hand, she needed only to squeeze three times.
One. “I” Two. “Love” Three. “You.”
Their secret code.
She glanced back and caught his eye.  
He softly smiled.  He knew.
And then in sweet perfect timing, he took his other hand, holding hers in both, and squeezed back with all his might.
One. “I” Two. “Love” Three. “You.”
And with that last squeeze, there in the dark, in the silence… 
there became an unspoken comfort in both hearts.

I breathed in the moment…THIS is what it’s about.
THIS is what he’ll remember.

It’s the end of the day.
She’s tired and worn down, exhausted from fighting the fight, ready to listen to nothing but silence.
There’s a creak in the hall, yet she turns and sees nothing.
Five minutes later, another creak.
With a heavy sigh, she walks to her daughters door and opens it gently…only to see the darkest brown eyes standing there staring up at her.
“Worship Jesus, Mama,” she whispers.
And so “Mama” scoops up her baby girl, takes her back to her bed, where she pulls out her music…
it’s not time to be silent after all.
It’s time to worship Jesus.
Two voices, one song, Sweetly Broken.
And when it came to an end, she held on tighter and whispered again…
“More Jesus, Mama.”
More Jesus Chloe….and we sang, Came to My Rescue.
And with that last note sung, there in the dark, there in the silence…
there became an unspoken comfort in both their hearts.
I breathed in the moment….THIS is what it’s all about.
THIS is what she’ll remember.

It’s moments such as these….that remind me….
exactly where my purpose lies.
