Finding Beauty in Every Face & Place – A Prayer Poem – We will not forget
As I was walking early morning this week, the sunrise in our front yard seemed to gloriously burst through between the high Abelia hedge and the low canopy of evergreen trees and shine in rays and rings, on the path I was walking. In reflecting on the beauty of the sunlight streaming down on me and remembering this day, I wrote a prayer poem asking the LORD to shed His light on all of us today: Lord, when we look up and see the void and desolate places And remember our heroes ...

I put down my trash bag and marveled at the beauty of the single stalk and wondered how it ended up in our yard. As I looked at the stalk, it made me think of John 12:24: "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit." Beauty in dying. Yes, there is beauty in dying. The ... Read More about Finding Beauty in Every Face & Place – A grain of wheat
