Hallelujah!

“Hallelujah! For the Lord our God, the Almighty, reigns. Let us rejoice and be glad and give the glory to Him, for the marriage of the Lamb has come and His bride has made herself ready.” It was given to her to clothe herself in fine linen, bright and clean; for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints. Then the angel said to me, “Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb!” And he added, “These are the true words of God.”
~Revelation 19:6-9

Esther

 

there is an eternalness about her

a constancy

a gentleness
that sheltered over me
 like a wing

a touch
a cool cloth
upon a fevered brow
 with a word
a hand
a kiss
i could not guess

to count her prayers
over me
over her brood
throughout our lives
i could not guess
nor imagine
the price
of such love and sacrifice
ever awed
by her endless ways
 of gentleness and grace
ways
that my Heavenly Father
chose
to love me
