From Matthew 14:25:27:  “And early in the morning He [Jesus] came walking toward them on the sea.  But when the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were terrified, saying, ‘It is a ghost!’  And they cried out in fear.  But immediately Jesus spoke to them and said, ‘Take heart, it is I; do not be afraid.'”

Dreaded Covid arrives, knocking at her door

Daughter takes refuge on a hospital floor

Fear challenges faith during this trying hour

Daughter and mother seek God’s love and power

Through their journey of faith, walking together

God steps forward, quieting stormy weather

Hand in hand with God, crossing scary tightrope

His love sustains their faith, resurrecting hope

Mother and daughter’s prayers, faithfully roam

This hellish scourge flees at last, sending her home

Singing praises of thanksgiving, with glad hearts

Walking hand in hand, their life journey restarts

Kneeling before a Holy, mighty Father

Feeling the Lord’s love, like a great grandfather

From Psalm 92:1-2:  “It is good to give thanks to the Lord, to sing praises to your name, O Most High; to declare your steadfast love in the morning, and your faithfulness by night.”
