Of Face-to-Face

Face-time is great when miles between leave no other option

but oh how far beyond comparison is face-to-face Time.

Our grand-kiddos and their other grandma, who lives miles away

after almost two years of Facetime (thanks to covid) are

cherishing precious face-to-face time at last.

Grandma's/Mimi's face beams with pure joy

in the presence of her loved ones...

This weekend we treasured a short-sweet face-to-face time

and a belated birthday celebration for Melissa!

Meeting with much-missed loved ones makes me think of 

another forever face-to-face place/time waiting for believers

when the One we pour our hearts out to 

over and over again in faith's earnest prayer

dissolves the glass we see through darkly, and then

with faces wreathed with pure joy, face-to-face!

For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face:

1 Cor.13:12

Technology is quite a thing and grants its precious means

In helping us to keep in touch when miles unfurl between

But, for all that devices do to hold our hearts in place

No screen can ever come close to sweet meeting face-to-face

Technology is wonderful as a second-best choice

For looking loved ones in their eyes and hearing someone's voice

But, even a small child soon feels the emptiness of space

And how delight is driven wild when meeting face to face

(just ask my grand-kiddos)

Technology helps us to see, but cannot master touch

  Images dancing on a screen can only do so much 

To help us toward The Great Day of greeting's sweet embrace

When miles between us melt away and we meet face to face

Thanks to technology I can create and share this post💖

Our Nova Scotia family can see it as well as Melissa

and Jim (truck-driver hubby) who often checks in at the 'porch'

to see what's new...
