Call Out

Though the proverbial light
at the tunnel’s end be dim,
God wants your world to be bright.
He is your Father, so call out to Him.

In your times of deep despair
when it seems no one is there,
call out to the Holy One
in the name of Christ, his beloved Son.

Wishing you all the best again Andrea, the words here are so true; no matter how many times, they are imparted & in answer to your comment on the world always having lots of bad times ( yes ) however I think we don't have to keep returning to that path.." I hope that we can learn.! I think there was some sort of balance around the 1930's FULL GOSPEL'S FRUIT. responsible!!

Excelllent Andrea and so true. The Bible says we have but to call His Name and He is there in the midst of us. He may not magically make all our problems disappear but He WILL be there to help us through the fire. Sorry haven't beenn around lately. Puter is really giving me grief. Freezes and also suddenly the sentence I writing goes to the top of the page and the sentences get mixed up. Takes all the joy out of typing. Good job here. Bravo. God Bless, JB

There is love in every word. It's wonderful when our soul is heard. To fill the heart with faith and peace. May words like these never cease.

I was about to hit the hay. (Reading Ruben's Olympic O at 11:30 at night after a wacky day has sent me for a 'loop'. Will have to read it again, later. So far only got one 'ring' about the olive branch.) I am so glad I stopped by to read this! Like my good night prayer. Hope your well and that your time with Joe was nice. Colin was off for 4 days. We tend to spend so much time out and making a mess when its the three of us that I need a week to tidy up after! Hugs, Cyndi

Are you still there Andrea? Faith is an elusive thing in these busy times. It requires our time and it seems there is so little of it to give. I've been through a few of those tunnels but his light was always there for me.
