A FORWARD FAITH FOR 2009
Our lives we must review.
Reflection is our work to do.
In looking back perspective comes.
A Heavenly Father,
A Heavenly home awaits the pilgrim journey bound.
In holy purpose, mission… found.
What will this coming year bring?
Will He find us offering… the best we have to a God that’s true,
A God who’s walked the path with you?
Through illness, loss with little or much,
In trial, triumph, His precious touch…prevails.
Our times do change.
Our God does not.
HE is the ONE the saints have sought.
Through ages past , they lived and died—looked forward with committed lives.
Lamps made ready,
Candles burning,
Hearts aflame,
Souls a’ yearning.
REVELATION is HIS story.
Christ in me the hope of Glory.
In Him alone is liberty, freedom and transparency.
A forward faith stands with your brother.
Calling out to him , we build another.
Covering his back with fervent prayer
Preaching the Word reveals our care,
Serving others by the way we live,
Raising His standard of Truth to give.
Thus far He has helped us….this we know.
Onward !
His Grace will grow.
Forward!
His Life to know,
A people strengthened to live today,
Expectantly we bow in praise.
Happy New Year!
In All Things, HE Reigns!

MOTHER LOVE

R emembrance
A mother’s hands are the first embrace a child will carry from place to place.
A mother’s heart will ponder anew and dream impossibility for you.
A mother’s faith is the greatest gift, for in prayer alone your burdens to lift.
A mother’s face is etched with beauty,
A mother’s path, devotion and duty.
As the seasons pass and the years unfold, we understand better a mother’s hold.
Her children become
Her hands release
A grip of love abides to ease,
Rites of passage come and go,
College and marriage
Grandchildren to know.
Change enters again.
Trials weather frail hands.
Her heart awaits,
Her faith renewed,
Her face is framed with love for you.
Her path is heaven
God’s time has come.
The Love of Jesus takes her home.
But Mother lives on in you and me
Her call of faith, her liberty
Found only in HIM whose Life will reign,
A Cross of Grace that still remains.
A legacy of love, a trust so tender,
Her Mother Love we do remember.
