For Bobbie


My heart is saddened

but my soul is glad

that you have finally made it home



Into His loving hands

you are finally at peace

free from the pain that would not cease



My comfort is in Him

and the joy that He brings

knowing that one day I will see you again



RIP Roberta - My life has truly been blessed by having you in it.

Dreams


Dreams, though you drift away,

may you in every way,

be a part of me;

And maybe some day,

let me see,

what I am meant to be.



Dreams, oh so far away,

each and every way,

reminding me;

Though you haunt this day,

wipe your tears from me,

and let me feel free.

Coffee Cup

"Living one day at a time, enjoying one moment at a time. Accepting hardship as a pathway to peace. Taking as Jesus did, this world as it is, not as I would have it. Trusting that You will make all things right if I surrender to Your will. So that I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with You forever in the next. Amen."

Prayers


God answers prayers. Some times you have to wait and wait and wait. People often say God is teaching you patience, and I have to agree. But other times, God's answer comes quickly. And it's in those moments, that I know for certain that in time, His Time, my other prayers will be answered. - alj
