My Journey

 
"In my Father's house are many mansions: 
if it were not so, I would have told you. 
I go to prepare a place for you."

____________________________ 


I find great comfort in my faith so even in times of terrible tragedy it is
my safe harbor, my refuge.  I am never alone if I have the Lord and Jesus.
I believe there is a Heaven after this life. To think otherwise is devastating to
imagine.  I picture my loved ones above greeting me at that golden gate.
When I am broken the Lord carries me, when afraid he holds my hand.
Often when I am weeping he strokes my hair.  The Lord cannot change what
mankind has set into motion but I am sure that he weeps with us and is
there if you call his name in prayer.  I will not try to push my faith on others,
that is their journey to find.  We are each on a journey, each on a path,
and each must decide what path to follow . . . 

birds chirp songs from trees
new life blooms each day on earth-
      a moment of time
