We remember Claire

Here is the link to sweet Claire's obituary in the Santa Barbara Independent, coming out this Thursday:

These are the verses that came across my radar today and lifted my head - from Isaiah 40:

²⁸ Do you not know?
Have you not heard?
The LORD is the everlasting God,
the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He will not grow tired or weary,
and his understanding no one can fathom.

²⁹ He gives strength to the weary
and increases the power of the weak.

³⁰ Even youths grow tired and weary,
and young men stumble and fall;

³¹ but those who hope in the LORD
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.

We move forward a day at a time - with a limp, to be sure - but clinging to hope and the life to come.
