Dealing with Sorrow and Grief...In Honor of my Dad at this Time...

I must say this is most comforting to me...I took his humble clothes and cut them up randomly...
no pattern and two t-shirts I have kept for years and never wore they were too cut to wear so I decided to add them in the pile...humble and worn for now he would quote all the time a man that does not provide for his family is I Timothy 5:8 But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel. --He made it is what I know...and that is what I know when I see him again...at the events in which God will even wake him up for...such as He did many saints the day of His resurrection!!!

Life is FOREVER in the Kingdom of God...Hence the Meaning of the particular verse..."O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?" ~ I Corinthians 15:55 ...I have heard it now said Jesus Took the Sting OUT OF DEATH...and it is because you sleep and are awaken and you are in perfect paradise...Now I could feed grief or despair...but he didn't want it to consume me...but I have dealt with serious grief before and I clung to the words of LIFE the Holy Bible and the Alter...and then peace was very hard to find...it was most grievous and Psalm 3 came to be a very Strong realization...but really I didn't grasp that these words are LIFE...and HOPE and is the fountain of LIFE...It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. ~ John 6:53 ...these words get you through it...IT is STILL VERY HEARD and SORROWFUL...the sadness seems it will never go away...I am happy to know that this grief is not as so...but so PRECIOUS...as Psalm 116:¹⁵ Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints. ...So when you KNOW who Jesus Christ is and you do your best between Him and you and you live in the Light you know, and once you learn something you heed to correct your actions...Death will not celebrate a capture and conquer but You defeat death by Overcoming...

Hence I NOW CLEARLY understand the Dream I remembered from 2003 while we were laying him to rest...and it came back to my...I saw him dancing on a dug out grave for it was empty and the pile was there...my dad was dancing on the line of faith for he was in the air as though he would not be captured by death...for he struggled with chronic depression and I kept telling him the past year and half "get your house in order" which is YOUR TEMPLE...off and on, as I was there I realized again why I didn't fret...for the line of faith is in the wind...in the dream you could say he was Dancing on the Wind as in the still air...or on Tombstones...though life is hard and very grinding the most important thing in this life is to Make it with your Heavenly Father...which the most valuable is LIFE...for it is more precious and treasured more than gold...because with Jesus Christ whom is the Arthur it is forever and ever...something hard to reason as a human being...so as here in the earth as
life goes on...

I am quilting his humble clothes into one big quilting spread or quilt and thus is as far as I have gotten...I weep and I have his favorite songs playing and more...and an amazing peace which blows my mind...how this will end up I don't know for there is no pattern to it...I pick neither is it seamed for it is two sided as it goes and flows...and I will sew until all pieces are sewn to it...

Here is a few random pics...

The First Beginning on 9/8/2014 of the sewing for I cut them all up on 9/4-5/2014...I randomly sew and behold a pot...he cooked a lot...with tender loving care...

 

Here is a cuff and I love his back worn pocket...I buttoned then sewed it so it would not ravel...He had hard life...but HE WAS and AWESOME DAD, He taught me a lot...and it will forever more be more unwinding in the Way God shows it as so...why I couldn't see it then though I prayed be sure and let know all I need to know and be grateful for before he goes...but you can't see it all...but this quilt is soooo comforting and is to me far better than giving them to the goodwill...He was buried in his only Suit Coat and he had lost weight for his gray dress pants...but they made them fit...and his one dress shirt...and a tie was donated...he always threw his ties in the trunk of the car, or in the back seat...they never stayed on hangers...

 

Random cut out and I pray so desperately the integrity shows of how His Life was for...a GREAT MAN...with strong to survive but His the Roll was called and He loved the Hymns...

 

...it is two pairs of pants, 3 pull over shirts, 1 sweater, his jacket, 2 plaid button long sleeve shirts, and 5 white t-shirts...and then the two my dad got me which I considered too adorable to wear and I didn't want the print of the purpose to fade so I cut them up but preserved the picture and will sew them in somewhere that will be perfect...It is a great memorial piece for him...now for my sister I couldn't neither could I draw things for I would be so grieved but this comforts my heart...and great warmth is there...and I wait to see Him again along with the others that have Gone to be with Jesus Christ because that is Why Jesus Christ died so we could live forever...

When I am done I will post this...It is an absolute :) I will update I have 3 pieces such of the size as of the last pic...I even dream about it in the midst of getting other things done as well...is why
