Rachel's Challenge Update and Poetry From the Heart


Hey! I know it has been a while since I uploaded last and I am sorry, but with marching season over I should have some more time to post.

First: Rachel's Challenge update!! We are currently working towards an auction and have collected several donations. We have also received a thousand dollar pledge if we can raise the first 4,ooo dollars. I am truly excited to see the progress that is being made.


Now on with the blog!
Recently, I have grown stronger in my faith and found a passion for writing poetry that praises God. I would like to share a couple of these poems with you and if you wish, you can comment below, I would love to hear what you have to say.


The first poem is called "And This I Pray, Amen."
 
I pray, Dear Lord, please hear my prayers I send them up to you,
That every sky I ever see can be this clear and blue.
That every heart in every home be condemned by your great word,
And if needed for his brother, a man would fall upon his sword.
 
That every word is spoken with heart and love and truth,
That every burden soon be lifted because they all shall turn to you.
That every war be ended for there is no need for hate,
That every soul in every vessel shall share the same eternal fate.
 
That every grudge be ended and every heart forgive,
That everyone I ever meet choose a faithful life to live.
That they all shall be forgiven for they know not of their sin,
I thank you for your time, Dear Lord, and this I pray, Amen.

 

 

The second poem is titled "With This I Start the Day."

Lord, I come to you this morning,
To guide me through the day,
Help me deal with situations,
In a wise and faithful way.
Make my day be happy,
And let me live it with a smile,
And let me keep your love and guidance,
On my mind all the while.
Whatever situation,
Is thrown at me today,
I know that you will help me,
And your light will show the way.
And thank you, Lord,
For all you've done,
From the breath I breathe,
To your only son.
Good morning, as is every,
When I wake to you to pray,
Thank you once again, Dear Lord,
And with this I start my day.

Thanks for reading! Leave any comments or questions below. God Bless!
