Life becomes inspiring, not in spite of the problems and the hard hits, but because of them.

From Galatians 6:9:  “So let us not grow weary in doing what is right, for we will reap at harvest time, if we do not give up.”

Joni Eareckson Tada (born 1949) is an American Christian author and radio host.  Much of her work has focused on ministry in the disability community.  Her life journey is a living testament to this quote.

Another Bridge

Clouds of change fill morning’s sky

Hidden in frozen crystal ball

What will tomorrow bring?

Many questions wait to free fall

 

Transformation rides each wind

Hidden story’s unwritten thread

Others forecast gloom and doom

Some say, better times ahead

 

Harmony fills every thought

Hidden in history’s playbook

Another bridge, not too far

Truth discovers faithful nook

 

Joyful peace, flowing with hope

Hidden anthem’s spirited choice

Rodeo’s last mount to ride

Countless answers offer voice
