The Bridge
picture was used from a card I received in the mail. Thank you for whoever made this,
Lots of bridges I do see
I have crossed many already.
Sometimes the bridge is over strife, like a death of very close friends
I wonder how a child of God, can die & leave the family.
But, God always is faithful to carry me over the bridge.
Sometimes the bridge is everyday, raising future men of God
I love the task, don't get me wrong
But, everyday the challenge is , to raise them very strong
To be strong in character, loving God with all of their heart
To respect, the ways of being, .......a Christian, a very special part
Of this world, but do not do as worldly people do.
Uphold the things that are taught....thru out, their childhood years.
The times I get most frustrated, I feel the tender touch,
My dear child you are not alone,
I have created many people to help
You have a loving husband, A man who loves me too.
A church that really cares of you & your family.
I put you all where I want you, to live for many years
You have the upbringing, the morals that I wanted
So, dear, let me carry you ... rest into my care.
As I cross this bridge I really feel the love He has given
Now, yet another bridge to cross, I am not over it yet
A lump in my neck has taken over my life
The pain is over bearing, the pressure overwhelming.
How, do I get across ?
I know I must trust Him.
I really try every day, more like ... every hour
So Dear God, I really want to please you on this journey.
I don't feel strong enough.
I feel like such a failure, in everything I am supposed to have you Glorified,
but, how can I Father, please tell me how I want to please you so much
Oh, Father, thank you for your precious words of comfort.
Picture this,
For those of you who read this, I am comforted by His words.
As I was writing that, I got a sense of God picking me up, saying, C'mon, I am helping you.
Real soon the operation will be here, it will be over then
For, now let ME do the walking, you can take a rest
Cuddle in my arms, I love you very dearly
