The Perfect Place by Felicia

My wonderful friend, Felicia wrote this poem for us and I wanted to share it because it is too good not to. Thank you, Felicia, for being such a good friend to me.

THE PERFECT PLACE

Lord, I know Your plan is perfect

and I know You want us near

It's so hard sometimes to understand the things that happen here.

We hold on so tight to things we know

and things that we hold dear

that we can't hear your voice inside

that speaks so loud and clear.

You've prepared for us a place with you

without the pain and fear, but for now

it's hard to understand the things that happen here.

There'll come a day in that perfect place

where we'll see Jesus, Friends and Eden's Face

safe in the arms of HIS love.

Carrie, your courage makes me very proud

and I will say it very loud

shout it out above the crowd.

You've stepped out of your comfort zone

into the place of the unknown, where Jesus is

And in so doing you have shown the love

of God as it simply is and finding out that

on this journey you are not alone.

And so my friend, as we patiently wait

for our arrival to that perfect place

where you'll see your sweet Eden's face so near,

It's only then we'll finally understand the things that happened here.
