From Proverbs 19:21:  “The human mind may devise many plans, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will be established.”

Gift of family unfolds

Relationships healthy and blessed

God’s love covers this home

Leading this grace-filled nest

Imperfections reverse tide

Frustrations fill with discontent

God witnesses each tear

Reshaping what is meant

Time healing deepest trauma

Days, weeks—sometimes months travel by

God breathes, never silent

Wiping every tear dry

Faith speaks, better days ahead

Hope generates from cherished love

God welcomes members home

Blessing life from above

From Joshua 24:15:  “Now if you are unwilling to serve the Lord, choose this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served in the region beyond the River or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living, but as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.”
