why did you take such trouble to force this creature out of its shell
if it is now doomed to crawl back—to be sucked back—into it? (CSL, A Grief Observed)
Teach me, Father
to accept all from your hand as good.
Perfect, even.
Teach me to give it all,
and re-receive Your gifts again
from the nail-scarred hands of Christ.
For everything, and everyone
that You give and take away,
blessed be the name of the LORD.
Thank You, for I am not abandoned.
