The Lost Necklace

The necklace—a special birthday gift last year, which has become my daily connection with my 7 grandchildren.
Seven birthday crystals, one for each precious life, encased in a silver heart.
And a butterfly to hold near the one who has left us.
This necklace, this tangible connection, was lost.

The words of “Why, Lord?” again crossed our lips. “She was so full of life and such a joy to her parents. Once again I deal with grief…I think, “Lord, not again.” We question God Who answers in His Word, “I will never leave you nor forsake you. I love you and sent My Son to die for you so that death will be done away with once and for all.”
