Beauty for Ashes

I have a rose bush!  I need lessons in caring for it. :-)

For Mother's Day this week God took my ashes and gave me a new poem.  He inspires me, puts words and a melody in my heart.  I love all the ways that He expresses His love toward me but I especially enjoy the poems because with them I can shout out His praises.  Here is this weeks poem..

Beauty for Ashes

Our God is good,

So loving and kind;

I can’t believe 

I am His and He is mine.

Precious Shepherd

Ahh, Benevolent King

He feeds my soul with wonders.

Let His praises ring.

He is a spring of life

To those who believe.

Burdens lifted 

We’re set free to receive.

When the pressures 

Come crashing in,

Keep a steady pace;

Eyes quietly focused on His face.

He gives rest to the weary,

Forgiveness for sin,

Strength to the weak and

Beauty for the ashes within.
