Where Joy and Sorrow Meet~Avalon

There's a place of quiet stillness

'tween the light and shadows reach

Where the hurting and the hopeless

seek everlasting peace
Words of men and songs of

angels whisper comfort bittersweet

Mending grief and life eternal

where joy and sorrow meet

There is a place where hope remains

In crowns of thorns and crimson stains

And tears that fall on Jesus' feet

Where joy and sorrow meet

There's a place the lost surrender

and the weary will retreat

Full of grace and mercy tender

in times of unbelief

For the wounded there is healing,

strength is given to the weak

Broken hearts find love redeeming

where joy and sorrow meet

There's a place of thirst and hunger

where the roots of faith grow deep

And there is rain and rolling thunder

when the road is rough and steep

There is hope in desperation

there is victory in defeat

At the cross of restoration

where joy and sorrow meet

 

I have been really thinking about the phrase

‘where joy and sorrow meet’.

Over and over I keep singing those words in my head!

That is where I feel like I am.

I am at the place where I am so joyful with my life right now!

Hard to believe it, some might think, but it really is true!

I have a completely different outlook on life.

I can see the good and not dwell on the negative!

The sorrow part is also very true!

I miss my daughter desperately,

But I know she is in a better place than I am!

It’s hard to describe to someone the way I feel!
A constant state of peace!!
