Heaven Sent


It is a beautiful song, Joy has the voice of an angel. She is singing from the perspective of Mary.

You're my love, my joy, my heaven given boy. What a gift you are to me, Who am I , that He chose me...
I can see it, looking at a child who has turned your life upside down, taken every expectation and plowed it asunder, and you know your love for him will break your heart, again, again and again.

To look in his eyes, and know, you really do know, what a gift from God, the love, the pain, the pure sweet joy, so indescribable. So perfect.

I can see it. This midnight service, I have never been more sure that God has handed me a gift, Others pity me, they see it as a curse. It isn't their fault, they just can't see it.
I see.
Heaven given.
Perfect.

I recently visited JPUSA with my youth group from Indiana. I met you son and he was beautiful. Your husband was so kind and wonderful. As a family unit, you all are awesome. Through God, all things are possible.
