"So then, those who suffer according to God's will should commit themselves to their faithful Creator and continue to do good." 1 Peter 4:19

This week Char is sharing some special poetry she has written over the years. She picked out a few of her favorites.

Mail Call

Today
was definitely
a dead letter day.

Lord,
seal me
in an envelope
of your love and
send me winging!
I want to be
delivered.

Potrait

My life draws a
     pencil sketch,
     images outlined,
     some filled in.
each day's
     events,
     joys, sorrows,
     loves, losses,
all add lines
     to the intricacies
     of my self portrait
     which when complete,
I will offer
     as a gift to God
     as He offered
     himself to me,
     framed in love.
