THE VALLEY OF DECISION


Where is the line of crossing over
Where do good and evil meet
The point where darkness, doubt and fear
All but touch the mercy seat

Where is fence the playful straddle
Partake they think of both realms
Clay pots sent to the furnace
Tried by fire within the kiln

Drawn to valley by the wind
Give me pause and give me time
Exert much effort to flee the plain
Just now too much on my mind

Turn and spin, dodge and dart
The eyes of God search and know
The day’s end must determine
House of fire or Shepherd’s fold

You begin at the beginning
And you end at the end
Filling in the in-between
Here only until all has been

Everyone passing this way
The way the twain meet
The valley of decision is where
Your soul you loose or keep

Two are with you on hollow’s plain
Both extend a friendly hand
An angel holds out rest and ease
The scared one His own blood

Yes we have the choice! But I do hope we always will be given a second chance ... when we fail, so that in the end we shall be able - as the angels you speak of - to present ourselves with ease and peace.

Thank you for sharing your beautiful, impressive words.
Love, Margherita
a monk at heart your comment made me smile ... it's true "sometimes" anyhow.

The valley of decision is where
Your soul you loose or keep...

*sigh* sometimes it's so hard to choose which one is the right way.

But thanks for sharing and reminding, we all are free to choose.

What an enjoyable piece of writing, and how very true this was.

It is what you we with the middle that counts really isn't it?

(big hugggssssssss) This is so very true, dearest friend, and when His most precious blood is all stained upon ones sleeve, you know what that right decision is and He will accompany us on our bold journies on as grace will be our surnames! (sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, follow your heart and I trust you'll always make the right decision, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Jack, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
