Kissing the Cross



sitting here looking out the window
the golden leaves falling like rain
the wind is blowing
sunshine
then hidden by clouds..
we walked after Mass this morning
deep into the woods
Jack looking for squirrels,
shadows and then a bit of rain..
we found out Renee's grandmother crossed over this morning,
she had suffered from a massive stroke for years,
one of the classiest, kindest ladies I ever met..
we talked about her life as we walked..
death comes to us all..
we live in hope..
placing our now and our after in His wounded hands,
praying for strength and grace to live for something other,
and for others,
trusting in mercy,
kissing the cross..
