Walking on Wind

Dedicated to Mothers Who Have Lost Children

making her way
through the crowded city streets
with misery in her step
an old haggard woman
with shoes, ill fitting
and worn
shuffles and mumbles
to the rhythm of the hustle
she pulls from her blanket
a child's stuffed toy
and holds it to her heart
one lone tear
slides down her cheek
leaving a clean trail
on her smudged and wrinkled face
carefully, methodically
she places the bear
back in her cart
covering it with a scrap
from a child's faded blanket
a little more spring in her step
the woman moves on
and I hear her singing these words
that make me smile, and thank God
"hush little baby,
mama's still here
the days are good to me
and the nights are all right
it won't be long, little darling
'til Mama will come
and walk on the wind with you
together we'll take flight
He's comin' to get me
sweet little girl
to bring us together
in His bright domain
until that time
sweet little angel
look over your Mama
and take away her pain
I see His bright light
shinin down on me
and feel your sweet whispers
in the depths of my soul
He's comin' real soon, now
I feel it inside me
Mama's comin home little one
again we'll be whole"
as I walked along behind her
I could feel a warmth from within
nothing I'd ever felt before
and nothing I'll ever feel again
the woman lay down
on some old cardboard scraps
she held that bear tight
as if it were a child
afraid of the night
I took off my coat
and lay it over her crumpled form
just as I prepared to walk away
I saw, out of the corner of my eye
a shadow, no two
about twenty feet above me
they disappeared without a trace
and the most glorious breeze
began to cut the summer heat
when I looked back
the old woman was still
eyes open, and a smile on her face
I knew
that she had just walked on wind

Jesus  Wept   - American Tragedies

Jesus Wept.jpg (33414 bytes)

At the Oklahoma City Memorial a marvelous depiction of our Lord Jesus.
JESUS WEPT - It says all that needs to be said for all the little children especially
as Jesus' heart was close to children, he said 'of such is the Kingdom of Heaven"

Now HE shall weep for all of America and the world!

GOD BLESS AMERICA

Wall of Americans
Those Lost on September 11, 2001

AMERICA HAS   LOST TOO MANY OF HER CHILDREN THROUGH
AN ACT THAT IS UNIMAGINABLE AND UNBELIEVABLE!
THESE TWO WORDS ARE HEARD MORE THAN ANY OTHERS!
MOTHERS, FATHERS, HUSBANDS, WIVES, LITTLE CHILDREN,
SISTERS, BROTHERS, UNCLES, AUNTS, GRANDMOTHERS,
GRANDFATHERS, FRIENDS CO-WORKERS -

STRANGERS TO MOST OF US BEFORE SEPTEMBER 11, 2001.

WE HAVE ALL LOST THEM, NOT JUST THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS!
WE ALL FEEL THIS SADNESS AND GRIEF, AND  MOURNING
FROM THE UTTERMOST  DEPTHS OF OUR SOULS UNTIL THE 
SOBS COME FORTH AND WE SHAKE AND CRY. WE PRAY TO
OUR LORD JESUS AND OUR GOD TO HELP US ENDURE THIS - 

               THE   UNBELIEVABLE AND UNIMAGINABLE!

SEPTEMBER 11, 2001  

WITHOUT HATE

THERE IS HOPE!

OUR HEARTS SHINE FORTH A NEW LOVE FOR OUR FELLOW
AMERICANS AS WELL AS PEOPLE OF THE WORLD. FOR STRANGERS,
FOR THOSE WHO ARE DIFFERENT FROM US! IT SHINES IN ACTS OF
LOVE, HEROISM, PATRIOTISM, SACRIFICE, BRAVERY, SENSITIVENESS,
GRACIOUSNESS, HOSPITALITY, SUPPORT OF THE HURTING, KINDNESS,
AND IN STROKING THE SHOULDER OF ONE WHO IS BENT IN GRIEF!

NO GREATER LOVE CAN WE HAVE THAN TO LAY DOWN OUR LIFE 
FOR ANOTHER!  WE ARE HEARING MANY OF THESE STORIES
COMING OUT OF THIS MOST HORRENDOUS AMERICAN TRAGEDY.

THUS, OUR ANGER MUST BE USED TO HELP IN A  CONSTRUCTIVE  WAY.
WE HAVE A RIGHT TO BE ANGRY, TO CRY, TO MOURN, TO HURT.
BUT NOT TO FEEL OR ACT OUT HATE! 
OTHERWISE, THE ENEMY OF OUR SOULS WILL WIN!

A BABY'S PRAYER

I can hear her talking with a friend
I think it's all about me
Oh how she can't have a baby now
My mommy doesn't see

That I feel her breathe, I know her voice
Her blood it flows through my heart
God you know my greatest wish is that
We'd never be apart

CHORUS: But if I should die before I wake
I pray her soul you'll keep
Forgive her Lord - she doesn't know
That you gave life to me

Do I really have to say goodbye
Don't want this time to be through
Oh please tell her that I love her Lord
And that you love her too

CHORUS: But if I should die before I wake
I pray her soul you'll keep
Forgive her Lord - she doesn't know
That you gave life to me

On the days when she may think of me
Please comfort her with the truth
That the angels hold me safe and sound
'Cause I'm in Heaven with you
I'm in Heaven with you.

Hear her song,

Read the Lyrics of "A Baby's Prayer"

See What God is doing!

I recommend this site to anyone who is thinking of abortion or knows someone who is!

Love Is The Greatest Gift Of All

And Love Isn't Love Until You Give It Away!

My words cannot express the love I have for all the

firemen, policemen, workers and leaders in New York, PA., and Washington;

nor the compassion I feel for the people who have lost someone dear,

I truly understand your grief and loss and my prayers will be for your peace.

Sometimes, Healing Comes by Helping
