At Times
At times my mind wonders
what God has planned ahead
then I sing a song for today,
in my heart there is no dread
He knows what's round the corner
over the hill and into valley deep
I know I only have to keep my eyes
on Him, bright and Morning star whom I seek
~~~~
But I cannot ignore the feelings within
Mine and others as we walk through each day
When young many think they can direct their lives
as time goes on, it becomes clear we don't always have the say
Deep inside the fears arise, overflow
Agony of life, circumstances beyond our control
Twisting, turning emotions, thoughts surge through
Mankind so divided, yet each is alike, only He can make whole
Oh Lord I can see in my mind the masses
Writhing, wrestling with life as it has come to be
Each segment claims their own Truth, shouts aloud
Separated, warring, yet we all seem to claim it's You we see
I am one, going through the turmoil and trials
which are peculiar to me,
Yet always I feel with me in spirit,
the many who travail, wrestle with what is to be
Dark clouds form overhead and in our inner universe
Bringing times of heaviness, blinding the way we go
Storms of adversity, some short in duration
Others seemingly without end, Lord you know
You hear our cries, recieive the supplications
I know this, it is indelibly inscribed on my soul
Today I was caught up in the current of life
Along with me were many, swept by the tides which roll
Yet I had no need reach out, grasp wildly
I knew the waters would not take me under
I surrender to what comes as I know the end
Looking up I see Your eyes, on You I can depend
~~~~~
At times my mind wonders
what God has planned ahead
then I sing a song for today,
in my heart there is no dread
He knows what's round the corner
over the hill and into valley deep
I know I only have to keep my eyes
on Him, bright and Morning star whom I seek

These words flowed from my heart as our family waits for Dr appointments and treatment of my 33 year old son who has been diagnosed with Low Grade Follicular Lymphoma. A song to our Lord and Saviour

oh yeah, sometimes it can be so hard to not know what is to
come...and i often wish i had a crystal ball that would allow
me to see what is on the road ahead...to know what i should
prepare for...
but then again, maybe it is better to not know...and i just
try to remember that if God brings me to it...God will bring
me through it...it is all i can do.
Beautiful and full of faith as always!

Thank you so very much Sherry. I know that He knows what He is doing and when the children were small I gave them back to Him. Knowing that there are not mind to own and I have done all I can in raising them... now I stand with them as they learn and gown. Knowing HE does All things well. God bledd you for reading and your thoughtful response.. HUGS, sharon

Dearest Sharon,
I admire your love, faith, and relationship with the Lord, I hope that isn't wrong to admire someone that is close to God. I see a love and faith, yet closeness with the Lord with you and others in which I need in my own personal life with Him. I am sorry that you are having to go through this battle with your son its not been a easy with a few of your children now. Yet even through each one you've stayed close to Jesus and he has given you a strength, and peace beyond your own feelings. Does this make sence? I mean helped you keep a peace more when sometimes the emotions can get a bit rocky or keep you from giving up in despire and sadness...His strength, and love, yet a peace and hope hes with you and is....I know you still hurt but since you have the Lord that personal relationship he helps you which those pieces each day of your life. That is what your poem speaks about and many of yours.....(Thanks) for your comment Sharon on mine. Love and hugs, Cookies (Sherry)
