Journey

Rolling hills and pastel skies

Silent streams and dragonflies

Trees waving, ever present in the forest, stoic,

Like soldiers standing at attention~

Misty breath blows in winter’s cold.

Buried deep by winter’s snow,

Sleeps the ground there below~

Quiet now, as feeble flowers rest.

Amber fields, stripped and bare sleeping for a while~

In the valley of decision many tears flow~

As Spring gives way for flowers to grow.

Awaken to the winds that blow,

Journey, moves, like infants stretching and yawning

A new day dawning~

New life bestows~

Journey never ends~

He merely grows old and steps behind the veil!

Psalm 37:25 New Life Version I have been young, and now I am old. Yet I have never seen the man who is right with God left alone, or his children begging for bread.

 1 Peter 1:18-21 The Message Your life is a journey you must travel with a deep consciousness of God. It cost God plenty to get you out of that dead-end, empty-headed life you grew up in. He paid with Christ’s sacred blood; you know. He died like an unblemished, sacrificial lamb. And this was no afterthought. Even though it has only lately—at the end of the ages—become public knowledge, God always knew he was going to do this for you. It’s because of this sacrificed Messiah, whom God then raised from the dead and glorified, that you trust God, that you know you have a future in God.

1 Corinthians 13:12 The Message We don’t yet see things clearly. We’re squinting in a fog, peering through a mist. But it won’t be long before the weather clears and the sun shines bright! We’ll see it all then, see it all as clearly as God sees us, knowing him directly just as he knows us!
