Each Faithful Step

From Isaiah 43:2:  “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you, and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you.”

Road ahead narrows

Stumbling with each step

Burdened with mistrust

Lack of faith, leads to missteps

 

Spirit joins each step

Uplifting at dawn

Life’s route flattens out

Mercy calling out, hang on

 

Tomorrow arrives

Trusting in God’s grace

River passing through

Each faithful step, keeping pace

 

Wilderness watered

Blossoming new leaves

Harvest steps forward

Deliverance, wrapped in sheaves

 

Eyes focused on Christ

Leading steps with love

Journey energized

Guided, by Spirit above

From Romans 8:27:  “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.”

There is mystery in the immensity of night’s darkness, only to be forgotten when sunrise transforms our vision.

Watching Saturday’s unhurried sunrise

Feeling gratefulness, spirit shall arise

 

Being retired, life moves at much slower pace

Realizing, there’s no need to win life’s race

 

Remembering grandfathers, crisp and clear

Teaching life lessons, steady and sincere

 

Growing up, learning from their example

Tasting life with every new sample

 

Loving family, with kindness and care

Treating marriage, with love beyond compare

 

Passing on wisdom, making good choices

Sitting here now, hearing cherished voices

 

Accepting their torch, these years move along

Being a grandfather, where love belongs

 

Filling up life, grandchildren sharing love

Joining other grandfathers, fits like a glove

Our greatest impact on this earth comes from loving and serving others–as Jesus did.

From Galatians 5:13-14:  “For you were called to freedom, brothers and sisters, only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for self-indulgence, but through love become enslaved to one another.  For the whole law is summed up in a single commandment, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.'”
