In Our Precious God, We Trust

I have tasted

the sweetness of life,

a baby’s cry

a child’s hug

a teen’s concerns,

a family’s rush to gather in more

of the goodness

that surrounds,

due to the presence of our Lord.

 

And I have also seen sadness

that threatens delight

in our souls –

the tearing of love from a mother’s

heart, when drugs and other

evils threaten her home

 

and I weep.

And I pray –

do not allow such troubles, Lord

to come upon our family’s shore.

And he spares us from so much, but in a fallen world, there are troubles, and his support and help and comfort, even his rebukes sometimes at such times are our rock and we can grow to know him more at such times, and pray and trust on, and wait. Rhiannon
