At His Feet
Tonight I relaxed in my "candlelight strawberry bath"
and as the tensions just melted away...
I spoke with Him who governs my heart
about all the events of my day.
I rejoiced in all He has given me
not only the joy but also the sorrow...
and I listened intently as He told me
how I could walk closer to Him tomorrow.
As the candlelight gently flickered about me
shadows danced all around on the wall...
and my soul took a journey backwards
to the time when God's "Grace" broke my fall.
Since then the road has certainly been bumpy
twists and turns all along the way...
but my heart knows He never left me
for His "Grace" keeps me from going astray.
I have grown to be more like Mary than Martha
I just can't bear to be torn away...
So if you need me I'll be sitting at His feet
every moment I can throughout the day.
Fear and Ignorance
Cindy doesn't realize
that she is often disregarded
as are many of the other children
who are mentally retarded.
All she knows is happiness
in her loving little world
and should you ever hurt her
she is a most forgiving girl.
This illness lies far beyond
these children and their fate
it lies in fear and ignorance
which more often than not breeds hate.
