Gift of Family
From Proverbs 19:21: “The human mind may devise many plans, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will be established.”
Gift of family unfolds
Relationships healthy and blessed
God’s love covers this home
Leading this grace-filled nest
Imperfections reverse tide
Frustrations fill with discontent
God witnesses each tear
Reshaping what is meant
Time healing deepest trauma
Days, weeks—sometimes months travel by
God breathes, never silent
Wiping every tear dry
Faith speaks, better days ahead
Hope generates from cherished love
God welcomes members home
Blessing life from above
From Joshua 24:15: “Now if you are unwilling to serve the Lord, choose this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served in the region beyond the River or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living, but as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.”
Life’s Open Book
Fragile, yet unbroken
Remaining soft-spoken
Perplexed, yet answers found
Feeling free, homeward bound
Deadlocked, yet finding key
Moving on, let it be
Homeless, yet seeing light
Making nightly campsite
Troubled, yet finding peace
Forging life’s brand new lease
Hidden, yet discovered
Finding future covered
Misplaced, yet always found
Sleeping on softest ground
Wounded, yet walking free
Earning final degree
Useless, yet finding worth
Flying high above earth
Hungry, yet always fed
Tasting life’s daily bread
Shortchanged, yet now fulfilled
Making steps, always thrilled
Forgotten, yet now loved
Sharing days with beloved
Monday Memories: Heavenly Message

When I stumble
My body tumbles
Weakness fills me
Not worthy to see
Attempting to move
Just not in my groove
People walk right by
None saying even “hi”
Ignoring me there
Silence never fair
Feeling so much alone
Picking up my phone
Finding short text to read
Responding to my needs
Standing up now
Kneeling to bow
The message sustains
No, I’m not to blame
“My brother, rise up thee
Now, always follow me”
Jesus!
