A Shining Light

The rope and wood swinging old bridge Stretched across the great cavern Below at least thousand feet Runs a river of swift beauty_almost heaven Darkness has overtaken the day Each sway of the rickety bridge_fear The wind tugs the rope to movement Fear surrounds me grasping holding tightly Then a shining light lights the way Caresses and warmth envelop me Each hold and step is lighted just for me As if a guiding light of a star appears The star that is my leading force As longing for the other side rushes over me Where truly a home of heavenly comfort waits The light lifts and lightens my steps and carries me home Where eternal peace and fulfillment wait enfolding me in the lights warmth

"Each hold and step is lighted just for me" What a profound line Sara. Take strength from that, no matter the storms and difficulties in life, our Father never leaves us.. He takes every step with us.. A beautiful piece and much enjoyed.. Hope 2011 will be one of miracles in all areas of you and your family's life.. Love Wilma
