This is by far the hardest day in March for me to write. Four years ago today, my grandson went to be in the arms of Jesus. On this day, memories of Archer are fresh. He is missed.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"IMAG1492\"<\/a>My blog has always been about pointing others to Jesus, so I\u2019ve never given an entire blog post to a secular song. But today, I want to share this song.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Today, may seem a little gloomy\u2026inside my heart as well as the weather outside, but what I know for certain is that our little Archer is with Jesus\u2026and my heart rejoices.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I also know that Jesus is close to those who are brokenhearted. Jesus cares when we hurt. Jesus comforts when we grieve. Jesus consoles our weary souls. And my heart rejoices.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I know for certain that one day I will be able to see Jesus face to face and I will be able to meet up with Archer again. And my heart rejoices.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This song is special for my family. If you are brokenhearted, maybe you will find some comfort in this song as well. But beyond what this world has to offer, I pray that you will find all that you need in Jesus. He loves you so!<\/p>\n

\u201cTo Where You Are\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Who can say for certain
\nMaybe you\u2019re still here
\nI feel you all around me
\nYour memories so clear<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Deep in the stillness
\nI can hear you speak
\nYou\u2019re still an inspiration
\nCan it be?
\nThat you are mine
\nForever love
\nAnd you are watching over me from up above<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Fly me up to where you are
\nBeyond the distant star
\nI wish upon tonight
\nTo see you smile
\nIf only for awhile to know you\u2019re there
\nA breath away\u2019s not far
\nTo where you are<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Are you gently sleeping
\nHere inside my dream
\nAnd isn\u2019t faith believing
\nAll power can\u2019t be seen<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As my heart holds you
\nJust one beat away
\nI cherish all you gave me every day
\n\u2019cause you are mine
\nForever love
\nWatching me from up above<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And I believe
\nThat angels breathe
\nAnd that love will live on and never leave<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Fly me up
\nTo where you are
\nBeyond the distant star
\nI wish upon tonight
\nTo see you smile
\nIf only for awhile
\nTo know you\u2019re there
\nA breath away\u2019s not far
\nTo where you are<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I know you\u2019re there
\nA breath away\u2019s not far
\nTo where you are[i]<\/a><\/p>\n

Grace and peace be yours in abundance,<\/p>\n
