Poem of Dedication

I really like this poem. I read it again today and was encouraged by it. I pray that where ever you are at, God will be your "Place of Repair" today.

Place of Repair, O blessed place of refuge!

How gladly will I come to meet Him there,

to cease awhile from all the joy of service,

to find a deeper joy with Him to share!

Place of Repair, for tired brain and body!

How much I need that place just out of sight,

where only He can talk and be beside me,

until again made strong by His great might!

Place of Repair, when trials press upon me,

and God permits the unexpected test,

'tis there I learn some lessons sweet and precious,

as simply on His faithfulness I rest.

Place of Repair, to wait for fresh enduement,

I silently alone with Him would stay,

until He speaks again, and says,

"Go forward, to help some other sheep to find their way."

Place of Repair, O trysting place most Hallowed!

The Lord Himself is just that place to me,

His grace, His strength, His glory and His triumph,

Himself alone, my all--sufficiency.

Years together treasured

A sweet story to share.....

Young and carefree

we dance & play

sweetly like two butterflies

Your hair so soft

your lips so sweet

lost in your deep blue eyes

I feel safe in your arms

I feel loved by your care

you know my heart is yours dear sir

I will protect you, come close

I will love you, draw near

will you be mine for forever?

I swoon and sway

I do. I will. Okay!

mr and mrs together

I never knew God's love so deep

until He gave me you to keep

fall into my arms like a feather.

The years go by

we fight. we play

sharing each day anew

You are more beautiful then the day we met

you shine Christ to me

you are my blessing too.

I've been your bride these 50 years

while you have loved me like Jesus

with pure joy and without hesitation.

As your groom I wish we had 50 more.

your joy so tender, you sparkle so free

US unified as one again.

Confused a bit. Age has captured me.

I wonder. I question. I fear.

He is near.

My chest is aching

my body is shaking

the sirens surround me, oh my dear.

The phone rings, you are healed.

mild stroke, I will come

in my car that will take me to...

God chose to heal me. I am thankful.

you are on your way, together we shall be

I will wait for you.

On my way fear grips me. It's stuck.

i am accelerating!

the memories of you flood every pore.

Thankful to have you to come to me

as I reminisce our life together.

praise Jesus I get to see you once more.

Out of control. nothing to do.

goodbye for now my love.

Jesus is calling. I see him here.

I wait. I wait. She never comes.

oh my sweet wife was taken home.

did this really happen? tear.

I open the door.

bittersweet place of rest.

the walls echo. I groan. I ache.

I lay down on my bed.

turn my head.

and weep until I wake.
