Sunday Reflections

During our recent trip back east, Ken and I took a few days to rest at my mother’s condominium in Ocean City, Maryland – her balcony looks out on the Sinepuxent Bay and the Eastern Shore. Every evening we carved out time to sit on the back porch, reflect on Mother-memories and watch the sun go down. At one point, Ken snapped this picture as I sang this favorite hymn of hers…

Beyond the sunset, O blissful morning
When with our Savior heaven is begun
Earth’s toiling ended, O glorious dawning
Beyond the sunset when day is done.

Beyond the sunset, O glad reunion
With our dear loved ones who’ve gone before
In that fair homeland we’ll know no parting
Beyond the sunset forever more.
