church is his Body
diversely stained cut pieces
peace through unity
grace gifts from Spirit
blooming flowers of the field
beauty incarnate
love sets hearts aflame
bathes whole world in true light
Alpha…Omega

gentle soul possessed of quiet strength
her name, Faith, was her legacy to all
who witnessed her living…and dying.
she was familiar with pain and heartache:
her husband, seriously disabled in an accident,
needed nursing care ’til his death left her a widow.
her precious twin granddaughters lived only briefly,
she herself suffered multiple sclerosis and cancer.
yet she clung to promises in God’s eternal Word,
and at sixty-one years young, she has received the
reward of an undying faith in her faithful Lord.
You took her up into Your presence: her faith is now sight!
“Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” (John 20:29b)
