Can you Imagine? Daryn Worpel


I was looking straight up through the changing Fall trees............ Reds, Oranges, Yellows, and Greens........all set against a perfectly blue sky. It was soooo beautiful. I went to get my camera to capture the moment, the feeling. I took a couple of pictures and was really disappointed because the camera wasn't able to capture the full picture, the full beauty of that moment.

My thought then changed to my belief that God is able to see the full glorious and perfect picture, but we can only see a portion of it. We only "see" what our senses allow us to see, everything else is us relying completely on our Faith. We have to believe in something that we can't see and maybe even at times can't feel. We have to trust in our God that even though we can't see the full perfect picture, that it is still there.

Just like when you look at the above picture, you can't see the whole thing, but you still know/believe/have faith that there is more to it even if you can't see it. When we are presented with the rest of the picture then and only then will we truly and fully "get it". Until that day we rely completely on our Faith.

Sometimes it is hard to do, but I choose to believe in my God above. I, for one, know that Daryn is in the most glorious place any of us could even imagine. There is no pain, there is no suffering, only unconditional love. Can you imagine?

Today I choose to remember Daryn's voice, when she would join a conversation at the kitchen table that the adults were having. She had, at such a young age, an opinion of her own and was so much wiser beyond her year. Her voice, I do still hear it! I will always hear it!

every day i check this blog for a new post. i love hearing, & reading what you guys have to say.....have of the time, i can picture it. but the other have, i can indeed, only imagine. Daryn is in the most wonderful place imaginable, we all know it. and, we know there's no pain, & no suffering, only unconditional love. just like you had mentioned. in L.A. class, we had to write an essay about a time when we were shaped, changed or influenced in any way. i decided to write about all, only, in paragraphs, & about Daryn. i wrote how she changed me in SOOOO many ways, because she had the ability to do so. that's just the effect she had on me, & many MANY others. Daryn, a person, & name remembered FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!
