Jesus stands ready
He understands life
With its hardships
He’s walked there
Experiencing it all
His body bears
Marks of death
Hands forever scarred
Feet harshly pierced
He defeated death
Empty tomb proclaims
He understands thee
Life’s never-ending turmoil
He offers hopefulness
Encouraging and loving
His reassuring voice
Calming all worries
Life’s sufferings appear
Generating lasting tenacity
Trusting in Him
Rock of Salvation
Sending steadfast love
From heaven above
Faithful and righteous
Extending into Eternity
Never be afraid
Always trust Him
Hearing His words
Praising and soothing
Giving peaceful strength
Against harsh times
Open one’s heart
Closed door opens
Jesus stands ready

Yes, the berries are coming out now so the bears seem to be staying away. That may not be for long though, it’s been so terribly dry that the berries are very small and not so abundant as other years.
