It was one year ago today that our friend Joshua went home. I still think about him often. My life is different now.
I was driving home from South Carolina on Sunday, and some words of Sandra McCracken’s song “Age After Age” stood out to me:
First, the chorus:
Age after age
of heroes and soldiers
it gives me sight and makes me brave,
standing on their shoulders
And also this verse:
To the ones left behind who are picking up the pieces
of planes, bombs, and buildings of innocence and evil
‘Cause when the news and noise and flowers die,
and you still wake up alone
There is a God who knows every tear you cry
and this world is on His shoulders
