Our Meadow In Ukraine, a Prayerful Wish

When walls crumble down
And dreams lay strewn and scattered
Remember our place
Deep in the mountain forest
Through the sharp-thorn brush
A meadow creek side
Times like this our shelter built
Roof for our gardens
Fresh flowing water near bye
Wildflowers in Spring
Bountiful summer veggies
Fireside in Winter
I'll meet you there my true love
If God parts our path
To look once more in your eyes
Pressing your heart against mine

By: Jim Marshall Goff

ps let us join Jim by bowing our heads and offering a moment of prayer 
for those who are dealing with so much right now. War is the worse kind of human battle on earth, and we need to pray that it will cease !

Sad that this is going on for the whole world to see. What will the whole world do to stop this endeavor by Putin? What can they do? I have prayed and I know God answers prayers, but His answer can be no, maybe, later or yes. I appreciate the visit to my page. Sara
