A Place of No Pain
On Wednesday
morning, October 27
2004 our
Kathryn went to Heaven.
Between 7AM and
7:15
She left us for
Jesus and places unseen.
But she did not
leave us without any hope
For everywhere
we look we discover more notes
That she wrote
down on paper while depression she fought
She leaned on
her Savior in word and in thought.
She learned how
to worship while fighting to live
She learned how
to love, how to pray and to give.
Each day was a
labor with less sunshine than rain
But now she’s
with Jesus in the place of no pain.
At 25 some say
her life was cut short
That her
prayers went unanswered and even ignored.
But to those
who were privileged to know her up close
There is
evidence abundant that she was the choice
Of a God who
responded to her greatest obsession
To know Him and
love him with reckless abandon.
Hundreds of
pages of journals of prayer
Assure us that
Kathryn is living up there
Praising Her
Savior with thousands of Saints
Her victory
secured in the place of no pain.
The sorrow of
loss crashes into our lives
When we least
expect it, we suddenly cry.
But quickly our
Lord gathers us unto Himself
And reminds us
that Kathryn at last has her health.
She’s running
the race that she cannot lose
So we move
forward with life and despair we refuse.
We know where
she is and we know how to find her
We live each
day with this blessed reminder.
To live is
Christ and to die is gain
New life,
forever, in a place of no pain.
