The Scripture Was Visible

For years I kept that scripture out
In plain view, in a spot
On a rounded backsplash in sight
So, I'd not God's name blot    

When I answered the business phone
At our house, free labor
Until we could afford to hire
Someone like a neighbor

At last, I got a pay increase
Double in my wages
And now I get social security
That reflects the dark ages

God has been good to me in ways
I can't truly explain
His word uplifts, inspires, directs
So, I can't complain 

The business has fed us, paid bills
Along the way some fun
We did some things others could not.
At life, we had a good run

Now that the end of life is close
I know that God can hear
I want to revere His word still
I long to go without fear

Anne-Lise Andresen Date: 3/11/2025 3:30:00 AM - Let your prayer be a part of life ... lovely poem, Sara :) - hugs Login to Reply Sara Kendrick Date: 3/11/2025 5:19:00 AM Yes, Anne-Lise, I call it shooting prayers.

Victor Buhagiar Date: 3/11/2025 2:07:00 AM Prayer, prayer, prayer. The answer to those who doubt. Login to Reply Sara Kendrick Date: 3/11/2025 5:18:00 AM Victor, also, reading His word. We have the Bible at our fingertips provided that we have a computer, and it attached to the internet. Reading God's word is just a click away and even if you have a smart phone or iPhone or one of those kinds that can link up to the internet. It is right there for us to read or even have it read to us. Sara K

Oliver Mckeithan Date: 3/10/2025 5:59:00 PM Wonderful Sara. In the end He has provided just what you all needed and the promise of greater things to come. Excellent poem Login to Reply Sara Kendrick Date: 3/11/2025 5:14:00 AM Why, thank you, Oliver. Yes, it says in the Bible, "If I go away, I will prepare a place for you". I believe that He is preparing a place for all of those who have believed and still believe and will believe that will be so beautiful that we have never seen anything anymore magnificent. Sara K

Bj Legros Kelley Date: 3/10/2025 9:02:00 AM This is beautiful and encouraging Sara. Enduring till the end is huge, so many need to be encouraged to do so, and you did so incredibly. Thank you for writing this <3 Login to Reply Sara Kendrick Date: 3/10/2025 11:18:00 AM BJ, I believe enduring until the end is mentioned in Revelation and it is speaking about the nation of Israel who would survive the tribulation period and possibly some Gentile as well. Of course, we as Christians should hold on to our faith until God calls us home no matter in what method be it the rapture or in death before then. We will be caught up in the air to meet Him. Thanks for dropping by. Sara K

Tom Woody Date: 3/10/2025 7:27:00 AM The worst thing a person could do is fail to finish the race. Endurance is imperative -Matthew 24:13. Reverent poetry Sara Login to Reply Sara Kendrick Date: 3/10/2025 8:11:00 AM Thank you, Tom. Yes, we have to keep going until He calls us home. I remember an elderly woman who from her dying bed was still preaching or teaching about God's love. She was such an inspiration to me. Thanks for dropping by. Sara K
