Riding the Burdens I’m list’ning for the whispers but they don’t seem to come; I’m list’ning for the whispers but the silence makes me numb. I’m needing words of guidance that will show me what to do the kind of words I’m needing can only come from You. They’ll show me how to get through this mucky, sticky mess and then which way to travel to do just what is best. I know You’re here beside me, You’ve promised in Your word, yet I haven’t caught the whispers in the silence that I’ve heard. Am I not list’ning hard enough; do I turn to occupy this mind that’s in its spinning to stand in faith’s comply? If I ponder the hole in the doughnut of my life, I’ve hard time seeing anything but strife. Yet, if I focus on the doughnut with its succulent allure, how can I keep my senses as You act to send a cure? I’m sorry, Lord, I am, from my head down to my toes; it’s so hard to stand these burdens, I need your power t’ward my foes. My greatest enemy, I'm sure, is myself. ©August 13, 2002 Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |

:   (smiles) Just doing my 0's, 1's and 2's hunt and found this treasure! (big hugggsssss) In most cases our worst enemy can indeed be oneself, but all it takes is faith to overcome all foes! (kiss on cheek) This is excellent, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Virginia, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you!
