Grown in Faith

As the days pass by, our age dances along Our experiences, like its melody, its song Through the ups and the downs and the somewhere in-betweens Time passes by, like a movie scene Though we cannot rewind, or fast forward, this is true We just do our best, me and you Time moves by swiftly,…

In my mailbox, all from different states; we have been receiving different types of beautifully stitched angels, with thoughtful cards. We do not know who is sending them; just that my husband and I are being thought of and prayed for. These angels are sitting on display on a couple shelves in our living room,…

In this season I shall wait Through my angst, and what I anticipate I know not, what my future brings But I know who’s my everything The one in whom I can depend Who in His love, He does always send His strength in my weakness, light for my way With hope renewed and a…
