Spiritual Sunday



"Sometimes I'm sad. I know not why.
My heart is sore and distressed;
It seems the burdens of this world
Have settled on my heart.
And yet I know.....I know that God
Who doeth all things right
Will lead me thus to understand
To walk by FAITH......not SIGHT
And though I may not see the way
He's planned for me to go......
That way seems dark to me just now
But oh, I'm sure He knows!
Today He guides my feeble step
Tomorrow's in His right.....
He has asked me to never fear....
But walk by FAITH ...... not SIGHT.
Some day the mists will roll away,
The sun will shine again.
I'll see the beauty in the flowers
I'll hear the bird's refrain.
And then I'll know my Father's hand
Has led the way to light
Because I placed my hands in His
And walked by FAITH...... not SIGHT.
~~~~Ruth A. Morgan"









**For we walk by Faith, not by sight....

2 CORINTHIANS 5:7

What a beautiful poem. You're in the San Joaquin valley. We lived there for 19 years before we moved here. We've been here over 19 years. We lived in Stockton.
Have a beautiful Spiritual Sunday. I'm glad you shared with us today.

Hello there! I'd like to introduce myself..... My name is Joyce and I live in northern California, in the beautiful San Joaquin Valley. In 1975, I was blessed by God with a wonderful man named Stephen. Whether or not you believe in such a thing, ours truly was "love at first sight". We were married one year later. In time, we were further blessed with 5 beautiful children, four boys and one girl. Steve was my rock, my protector, my soul mate, and my best friend. We spent 30 precious years on this earth together, and for this I give thanks each and every day of my life. Sadly, my dear Steve passed away in December of 2005. He was such a strong spirit and loving soul that I know he is still here, loving and watching over us.
