" FAITH AND FEAR " MY PHOTO,©

Image may contain: plant, flower and nature

Fear was following me, like my shadow, the other day no matter how fast I walked and towards what direction still before me, fear I saw as the hours were passing fast , one after the other, fear: taller grew more menacing and more terrifying knowing not what to do my face, in desperation, towards the sun I turned praying to see Lord's divine light it was then that I realized fear's shadow had gone- nowhere before me- was it to be found! © Demetrios Trifiatis 06 APRIL 2020

We follow God's path in all we do and at the edge of darkness we'll always see a beam of light that renews our spirit and the darkness and fear are cast r aside. Tom

- Many feel the fear ... the shadows we see every day ... death takes too many lives ... nurses have to make terrible choices ... death roulette ... we must focus on what makes life meaning - We forget so easily that God will help us through life - A lovely poem for this day, my friend :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

You are right my friend--fear can set in and grow--till rescued by the invisible hand.
