The story of each stone leads back to a mountain.
Poetry is a way of looking at the world for the first time.
William Stanley Merwin (W. S.) was an American poet with over 50 books of poetry and prose. Over his lifetime (1927-2019), he was honored with numerous awards: including the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry (1971 and 2009) and becoming United States Poet Laureate in 2010.
Apostle Paul writes in Galatians 6:14: “But as for me, I will never boast about anything except the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ.”

Christ comes to the world
Bringing God’s love to us
Jesus sets the bar high
Higher than we can reach
Christ delivers two true teachings
To a sinful, unsaved world
Love your God, the Father
Love others more than yourself
Jesus does more than preach
He teaches us God’s truth
His hands heal the sick
Later pierced with sharpened nails
He raises up the dead
Just as He will rise
Christ, the Messiah, brings hope
He is Savior to mankind
Wearing a crown of thorns
Humbles himself on the Cross
Rising from a dark tomb
Christ forever defeats our sins
Christ serves His Holy Father
His sacrifice continues to give
He lives
The Resurrection lives
Eternal life lives
Respond to Christ in prayer
Humble, grateful—on our knees
Honor and praise Jesus Christ
Our eternal Savior and protector
His love lights the way
Accepting Jesus as our Savior

What you can’t go through on your own, God will help you fly over.
From Isaiah 40:31: “But those who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.”

In our daily walk with Jesus, be inspired to share His light with others. You just might be helping a brother or sister escape the darkness.

Experiencing lifetime of first steps
Beginning with toddler’s curious try
Tumbling down to earth from frequent missteps
Inquiring mind looking skyward to fly
Growing up quickly, ready for life’s prep
Entering grade school doors, stepping right in
Navigating each year, planting more steps
Looking always forward, career begins
Living life, one year follows another
Challenging new steps arriving each day
Recalling advice from caring mother
Stepping out, traveling each new highway
Remembering this life’s countless missteps
Smiling at grandchildren’s beginning steps

God’s generous gifts of relationships, possessions, and meaningful work should never be cherished more than the Giver.
From Matthew 6:24: “No one can serve two masters, for a slave will either hate the one and love the other or be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth.”
Clock’s movements quietly advance
Calendar pages keep turning
Realizing now, time so precious
Yesterday, never returning
Today, now galloping away
Each moment quickly discarded
Vanishing minutes tearing up
Uncertain time left unguarded
Tomorrow arrives much too soon
Yesterday feeling incomplete
Searching for one more treasured hour
Empty time becomes bittersweet
Distant dreams fill with missing days
Harmony’s peacefulness arrives
Pursuing extra, precious time
Delights harvested from archives
Morning sunrise gathers on time
Eagerness to explore today
Looking forward, cherished outlook
Every moment planning to stay
