Until Then

My heart can sing when I pause to remember
A heartache here is but a stepping stone
Along a path that's winding always upward
This troubled world is not my final home.

But until then my heart will go on singing
Until then with joy I'll carry on
Until the day my eyes behold my Saviour
Until the day God calls me home.


The things of earth will dim and lose their value
If we recall they're borrowed for a while
And things of earth that cause this heart to tremble
Remember there will only bring a smile.

But until then my heart will go on singing
Until then with joy I'll carry on
Until the day my eyes behold my Saviour
Until the day God calls me home...
May the Lord grant you His peace and bring comfort to your families as you walk through the grieving process at your sister’s passing. What a blessing to have enter eternity while hearing the Word of God.



Father, would You be all the Ebel & Newman families need in this time and bring glory to Your name in the process, Amen. Alan Starr- Wycliffe Recruitment Ministries, Lafayette, IN

This I wish

I wish we were little girls again.

Playing with our dolls.

Making mud pie lunches.

Holding hands-

wading in mud puddles.

Our mother washing our hair.

Snuggling in sheets fresh from the line.

Listening to crickets as we drift off to sleep.

I wish we were little girls again, you and I.

We've grown, raised our children-

watched the smiles on their angel faces.

Watched them grow before our very eyes.

They moved on our mother hearts cried.

We knew it was to be- we gave them wings.

Now years have passed.

You are ill, suffering every day.

My heart cries for you.

It cries for the day when we were little girls.

Running with our barefeet through the grass.

My sister I love you so.

I pray for your comfort through all the pain.

I see your face changed from all the pain.

The voice is still that of my sister.

Never dreamed the years would bring such pain.

We're suppose to grow old together.

Three sisters sitting watching the flowers grow.

Reminiscing about our childhood, our children.

My sister I love you, know this as you go.


























I measure every grief...


I measure every grief I meet
With analytic eyes;
I wonder if it weighs like mine,
Or has an easier size.

I wonder if they bore it long,
Or did it just begin?
I could not tell the date of mine,
It feels so old a pain.

I wonder if it hurts to live,
And if they have to try,
And whether, could they choose between,
They would not rather die.

I wonder if when years have piled--
Some thousands--on the cause
Of early hurt, if such a lapse
Could give them any pause;

Or would they go on aching still
Through centuries above,
Enlightened to a larger pain
By contrast with the love.

The grieved are many, I am told;
The reason deeper lies,--
Death is but one and comes but once
And only nails the eyes.

There's grief of want, and grief of cold,--
A sort they call 'despair,'
There's banishment from native eyes,
In sight of native air.

And though I may not guess the kind
Correctly yet to me
A piercing comfort it affords
In passing Calvary,

To note the fashions of the cross
Of those that stand alone
Still fascinated to presume
That some are like my own.


- Emily Dickinson
