standing on the promises

promises made to be broken?

passion’s romantic love turns cold

marriage vows end in divorce

friendships sometimes betrayed

how good is your word?

gossip gives slight exaggeration

everyone tells little white lies

who can be trusted?

God’s promises have always 

proven faithful and true.

What a blessing to hear my grand daughter, Anna, spontaneously sing the classic hymn, “Standing on the Promises” while playing at my house…of course, I joined in!

Can’t account for the unusual format…thanks to WordPress 🙂

porch pillars

he avoids work on two pillars
of our front porch: mismatched,
slightly noticeable but definitely
different…manufacturer sent
him an alternate color which
was not apparent until installed
and now considered permanent.

it’s like marriage of two people,
pillars of the family: mismatched,
probably noticeable, and definitely
different…manufacturer (GOD)
sent provisional individual but all
was not apparent until installed
and now considered permanent.

perhaps that was designer’s plan
and purpose: opposite pillars stay
where they are as He works on
them; two who vowed to stand
by each other, both a bit offbeat.
even though the effect is dissimilar,
together they can hold up the roof.

love’s fire fiercely burns

devotion ignites desire

vows consummated
