I long to
Wrap you in red
To drape the
Jagged fragments
Of your pain in
Scarlet folds of love,
And gather wounded days
In love’s embrace
As crimson’s plush
Absorbs the tears
And time ticks by
Unseen,
To swathe you close
Against life’s chill
And heal your
Broken heart
Yet only tender Mercy’s blood
Spilled hard
Across the soul
Can enfold the
Broken shards
Of you
In Him
And make you whole.
*The cry of my heart for my beautiful friends Deb, Sandy, and Pamela, whose lives breathe Jesus, but whose hearts are heavy with loss, grief and illness. Just know that I love you and I’m holding you close in prayer, sweet friends.
Beautifully written, Cindee. What a wonderful gift you are to your friends. Thank you for sharing this love with us, too.

Undone. In tears. Feeling. So. Loved. What a wonderful gift you are, yes. Grateful. Love you.
What a wonderful God we have Who gifted the world with you and your own special gift to share with us and make each of us feel His special love for us through you. What a wonderful God!

What a comfort to be so wrapped. (And that photo—it looks so soft and, well, comforting!)
