Hello ladies,
Please take time to read the previous post before this one! This is just a brief continuation of the one before. I wanted to let you read a poem by George McDonald called 'The Path I Feared'.
I said, "Let me walk in the field."
He said, "No; walk in the town."
I said, "There are no flowers there."
He said, "No flowers, but a crown."
I said, "But the skies are black, there is nothing but noise and din."
And He wept as He sent me back.
"There is more," He said, "there is sin."
I said, "But the air is thick and fogs are veiling the sun."
He answered, "Yet souls are sick, and souls in the dark undone."
I said, "I shall miss the light and friends will miss me, they say."
He answered, "Choose tonight if I am to miss you, or they."
I pleaded for time to be given.
He said, "Is it hard to decide? It will not seem hard in Heaven to have followed the steps of your Guide."
I cast one look at the fields, then set my face to the town;
He said: "My child, do you yield? Will you leave the flowers for the crown?"
Then into His hand went mine;
And into my heart came He;
And I walk in a light Divine,
The path I feared to see.
Yielding to my Guide,
Lori
Hello gals!
and made sure he had a proper burial. Teresa is the best! She does tons of things outside of her job description that keeps things running smoothly around here. She ministers to me and many others everyday. She is, what I believe, the nut that holds all us bolts together! (no pun intended! LOL!) She is sooooo underpaid!! And why is it that there is NEVER a man around the building when things like these happen? God really does know how to strecth us dosen't he! Ha! Just kidding- but it is the truth- 2 years in a row this very thing has happend! And, 2 years in a row- Teresa has done the dirty work! I, however, stayed nearby to offer prayer and moral support! I'm such a big chicken!
