Memories of Backwoods

Never feeling any shame
Proud of family tree
Born and raised in backwoods
Harmony plays for free

Filled with daily confidence
Travels always remind
Heart remains in backwoods
Throughout each daily grind

Landscape’s refreshing waters
Muted by midnight train
Life wrestles in backwoods
Creeks rise with blessed rain

Sweet corn ready to harvest
Lessons from lifetime’s love
Light searches from backwoods
Sunrise witnessed above

Front porch needs fresh coat of paint
Always be home to thee
Memories of backwoods
Destiny’s breath born free

Welcome Gateway

Like any faithful river
Night flows into precious day
Yesterday’s peace emptied out
Tomorrow waits for its say

Fullness of life’s rhythm brings
Harmony to valley’s floor
Quiet interludes speaking
Morning’s dawn opens each door

Whisper of innocence freed
Confidence fills one more heart
Westerly breeze stirs goodness
Another day, set to start

Branches of promise gathered
Dreams sown from trustworthy seeds
Encouragement for next steps
Hope rises with every deed

Joy’s eagerness journeys on
Lessons drawn from yesterday
Tomorrow’s harvest of peace
Evening sky’s welcome gateway

Confidence is not based on you having all the resources needed to take care of yourself; confidence is based upon the truth that God is faithful.

When you pray in Jesus’ name, God will transform your prayer life by turning uncertainty into confidence and confusion into the wisdom to know His will.

From Romans 8:26-27:  “Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness, for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but that very Spirit intercedes with groanings too deep for words.  And God, who searches hearts, knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.”

Charles Stanley (1932-2023) was an American pastor and Christian writer.  He was dedicated to leading a teaching ministry.
