Three Hours Dark and Cold

“Now, I know in my experience that Jesus’ light is stronger than the biggest darkness.” Corrie Ten Boom THREE HOURS DARK AND COLD heroes’ slight clothes clinging. cold blows inside-out. shouts and terror, eyes front. swoop of red cardinal daily invites with its melody. the warmth of hope — eyes rise above fray. soul delights in heavenly places. frostbitten feet discouraged, anchored in faith, fly ever northward. angels all around reflect each face before God’s crown. 2/22/2021 Based upon story told by Corrie Ten Boom who survived a concentration camp

Frightening experience well written in short lines emphasizes the terror felt by those who lived through it.

What a terrifying experience those poor people went through Kim, but so true that his light is brighter than the darkness of evil. Tom

I read a story today about an evil man who wanted to shake hands in forgiveness for what he did to her in the camp. At first she didn't want, but as she prayed, she shook his hands. ~~
