Oldiesmann: I'm not aware of any Jenny. Not sure why activity has died down on this site so much though 2023-06-12, 00:06:36

JennyW: Also, does anyone know other photo sharing sites that are Christian? 2023-05-16, 08:47:03

JennyW: Hello Everyone! I really miss activity on this site. I've been discouraged by photography sites where you have to sort through so much explicit content in order to see photos that truly glorify God. I'd love to see this site pick up again. 2023-05-16, 08:46:36

Carol: Thankful:  Don is home from hospital.  I found him unconscious with head outside on the floor and the rest was in the shower.  At the same moment, one son was walking through the front door to visit.  Two fire trucks came racing in and they took over After 2021-12-29, 22:01:26

I wrote this for a friend of mine who is going through a tough time.

My friend, don't cry for what you left,
Trust God's purpose for you here.
Don't mourn the years in passing swift,
Remember that He feels your private tears.
Leave the loneliness that holds your heart,
See His love in His Hands where you stand.
Take courage, my friend, as Jacob once did,
And wrestle a while, His blessings demand.
Unburden your dreams in the Heart of the King,
And remember you have room to grow.
To Him who gave them, all your hopes bring,
And the bond of loneliness will let go.
I admire your strength of quiet grace,
As stubborn as it may be.
And know that you always will have,
A heart of friendship and prayer in me.

Jen ~ I am going to run out superlatives if you keep writing poems so well. I love them!


 Super wonderful

mercychild

Thank you for the wonderful responses.  I had to write something for her, it hurt me to see how much she was trying to hide what was bothering her.  I figured, the least I could do was let her know I'm praying for her.

I'm your biggest fan Jen!  Keep on using the gifts God has given you.
Love ya,
Ethan
