Breaking News

Just looking at the news tonight my heart began to fall apart Distraught by everything in sight, where does one even start Through the tears I still see much, such a suffering they bare Oh how each story can touch in seeing how life really isn't fair And so for them I begin to pray in stitching or my own mending For we can not know God's Way or of His Love being unending Just wanting the heart to heal knowing I could be in that place As in my heart you can feel, then so realizing that's God's Grace So I open back my eyes and I praise Jesus in each one's name And with these new yielding cries as in the Holy Spirit's Flame Praising our Lord for every Blessing with each breathe I take For in Faith there is no guessing but one's heart can still break But do you feel the Lord in "your heart" ask Him to come near There must be a start for it is later when things become clear But you watch that news and then you look at your situation We all have so much to lose for God truly Blessed this Nation John 20:29 “Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.”

So sad the situation around the world, Vincent, each day brings cries, as you rightly say, it's purely God's grace that has kept us alive today:)
