The Waiting Room
The tickling watches, the shaking legs, Minds full with silent cries and begs Hearts are homes Where the oil is ceaseless impatience, And neighbours – the anxious ancestors. The dreams, the love, the perfection, All blur. The waiting, waiting and waiting, In this bewildering times they all were! It’s a road not unique, It’s a road they all walk, The roads with the same lock. In the...

Premium Member What Has Happened To Dispel Hope
My cat was killed. Murdered. Gunned down by a car. In the street in front of his house. Horribly maimed. I was bereft. It had been a terrific week until it wasn’t.

Clouds of Discouragement
CLOUDS OF DISAGREEMENT Clouds of disagreement because we all don’t see The messages of Scripture quite like they’re meant to be. Clouds of disagreement--they cover up the Son And bring a strong division that long ago begun. Yet though these clouds created, He somehow seems to glow Within our hearts united because His grace we know. There are well-meaning preachers who tell...

Discouragement
The banks along the sides at times how wide the current rides! The massive waves, how nigh they rise to overflowing, like the master of his ship, gliding o'er rough the seas of confusion - Then as quick the waves' unfolding from certain depths not fathomed, and the banks' eternal holding tend to narrow now - The splashing waves, once enraged, seem less than a trickle...

During My Discouragement I Found Encouragement
I Was Discouraged… But Jesus Found Me! I was so discouraged the way things were going. I was frustrated and upset. And it was showing!
