Hopefully we all weathered yesterday's storm!
At our place we didn't get the ice they forecasted, thankfully.
Just enough to add a bit of glass brocade to branches and yester-blooms.
Sadness, gladness intertwines
Trouble, triumph, alternates
Hope and heartache always lines
Dawn’s fresh favour at yon gates
Where God’s mercy always new
Perseveres, faithful and true
Joy and sorrow interweaves
Love and longing’s tender wars
With the happiness that grieves
Seasons snuffed by swinging doors
Where time’s torrent onward rolls
Like a tsunami of souls
Courage is faith’s gleaming gem
From a Hand that cannot fail
Roses crown the thorny stem
Beauty blooms amidst travail
Morning breaks on eastern sash
Like a phoenix from death’s ash
God with us is all we need
Step by step and day by day
His promises intercede
Where fear stalks its primal prey
Greater than our greatest strife
Is The Way, The Truth, The Life

Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life.
No one comes to the Father except through me.
