Sustenance Written by Janie Mathis -To sip the flowing water’s spring Amidst the scorch that deserts bring -To safely cling to steadfast hands As raging storms destroy the lands -To eat of bread that’s ground from dust Sustains my life with mortal crust -To kiss the bare of naked feet, A sacred place so pure and sweet -To live, my needs forever met, Hosanna Lord! My life, your debt |

Janie: You have written an eloquent poem that is a precious gem. In so few words, you have given praise to God in a poem that reads like a dream! Ellie Summers haunting melody that awakens the butterflies, calling them to join the dance in their silent song of praise to God. eL |

Marcy,Bob, Ellie Thanks for stopping by. I sat down to write this as a love poem for my husband but when saw what was emerging I had to change my focus. Janie |

This flows beautifully! I wonder about the last line though. The debt part. I'm sure I'm just not interpreting this correctly, if you could explain please. So often times when I sit to write with something in mind, it always takes a turn. LOL For the Lord of course  This really is very beautifully done! |

Whitedove, I know what you mean about the last line; I questioned whether this was what I meant to say but I was able to clarify it to myself and maybe it would help you to think of it in this way too: Jesus assumed the debt of my life = My life, your debt |

Janie- This a beautifully written expression of faith, dependency, reliance and fullness recieved through our Lord- A wonderful testimony to His goodness & Grace on our behalf-and our reason to submit to His loving care. David WOW- another day of life-and here among friends! Ain't God Grand! |
