'And The Days Are Not Full Enough...'


"And the days are not full enough

And the nights are not full enough
And life slips by like a field mouse
Never shaking the grass".

The above poem by Ezra Pound seems to sum up the year so far...Martha is growing too fast for me to keep up, Hubby has begun a new phase in his work life. Friends are getting married, having babies...some friends have passed away.

Life really does slip by. You make plans, and then you find God has His own plans in store for you.

We religious types are a lucky bunch though. God is constant and faithful, come rain or shine, through life and through death. His promise to us stands true, no matter what He has planned for us.

"Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid". John 14:27

Today, the sun is shining, the winter is over and a new day has begun. May it bring peace to all who are troubled and all who have lost hope.
