A Disappointment can be, my friend, a detour by God unto a better end. When things do not go as planned, you can sometimes see God’s Hand. Friend, a small inconvenient delay, could be God preparing a better way. Moving today’s plan into tomorrow, could be saving you grief and sorrow. Friend, God at times will intervene, to avoid a problem that can’t be seen. Even though it doesn’t make sense, in God you can have full confidence. For who had thought by killing Christ, man would enter into Eternal Life. God’s ways are not ours friend, and God’s thoughts are higher than men. Friend, God will never lead you astray, no matter what all men may say. God knows the beginning and the end, and He’ll guide you safely friend. And you my friend will never lose, when it’s Christ’s lead that you choose. As Shepherd Christ guides His sheep, from day to day and week to week. He guards His flock very carefully, from hidden dangers they can not see. Christ will change your chosen path, and this to avoid any potential wrath. He faithfully watches all His sheep, when they’re awake and when asleep. And Christ lovingly cares for His fold, all of His sheep both young and old. Even though we may choose a plan, God directs the steps of each man. As The Shepherd He does His part, to guide and direct a wayward heart. So when you are discouraged friend, remember you don’t know the end, Or the next step on this journey, as Jesus guides you safely into Eternity. He's coming very soon, the signs are very clear, |

Bob, I sent my son-in-law (Whtdove's widower) this poem in a card. He just returned Sun. from his grandmother's funeral in NC. Since he was raised by her, she was for all intensive purposes his 'mom'. He just called me saying his uncle (like a brother to him) who also just came back from the funeral, had a heart attack. Dr. says he's brain dead, but they're going to wait until tomorrow to see if there's some mistake or miracle, before allowing the machines to be turned off. Your words seemed so fitting for poor Tim who's having a rough time trying to parent the 3 teens, losing his wife, his gram, and now this. Thank you, Rae |
