Don't rush from place to place Jesus never hastened his pace Always knowing what was ahead Having the power to raise the dead No need to walk fast or run In His will, it is already done Faith like this is difficult to conceive It must be the size of the Mustard Seed Waiting on God will bring everything to fruition If we only take time for our hearts to listen November 3, 2023 MarkWaldrop
In the stillness of the night, find your grace, Place your mind on the Lord, in that sacred space, For in faith's gentle steps, there's no fear to bind, Brother, walk your path, and peace you'll surely find. With every thought, a prayer to guide your way, Trust in His wisdom, let doubt and worry sway, In faith, your spirit soars, casting fear aside, On this journey of faith, let love and courage be your guide.

In shadows deep, where demons hide, A battle rages deep inside, Addiction's grip, a cruel demand, Yet love persists, it takes a stand. To judge not those who bear this weight, For someone loves, it's not too late, To offer grace, a helping hand, To guide them back to solid land. So let us learn, with hearts so wide, To empathize, to be a guide, For in this darkness, love can cope, And give the strength, the gift of hope. Created by MarkWaldrop
The Holy City In Charleston, the "Holy City" stands so proud, Where faith and tolerance blend in the crowd. With history rich in religious grace, Over 400 steeples in this sacred place. A tapestry of beliefs, a vibrant array, In Charleston, all religions find their way. From churches old to temples bright and new, Diverse in faith, yet unity in view. The skyline's silhouette adorned with care, A testament to the many prayers we share. In this melting pot of beliefs, we see, Charleston's spirit in harmony. Created by MarkWaldrop
Have you been picked up by a whirlwind and deposited afar Do you feel lost, always searching for home no matter where you are Find the Yellow Brick Road and help along the way You will find many to encourage from day to day You may need courage from a timid, Cowardly Lion Finding a heart from a Tin Man who is rusty from crying There is even a Scare Crow to offer you a brain You must be careful to avoid going insane Looking for home all this time at the end of The Yellow Brick Road You were startled to find your home, your soul that began to overflow October 31, 2023 MarkWaldrop
Looking for a safe place to hide Looking for a place where Love abides Searching the world over I have yet to discover Then, the day the Shadow of His Wings came over me Never forgetting the warmth of His Love that set me free My soul is protected and safe from harm Under the Shadow of His Wings, there is no alarm I long to dwell in your tent forever and take refuge in the shelter of your wings. Psalm 61: October 31, 2023 MarkWaldrop
Without faith, it is impossible for His Light to see God's Light of Love reveals His Scriptures to me His Light will guide my path every day Causing me not to stumble, showing the way Thank you, God, for revealing the scriptures unto me Thank you, God; through Prayer, I May talk to thee Your Glory shines through Your Children on earth By sharing with others, they will find Spiritual rebirth October 30, 2023 MarkWaldrop
I had no choice in what came my way A prisoner in my body day after day My body declines in use these days My mind soaring high in many ways Life growing shorter here day by day Soon, my spirit will fly home to stay God sent His Angels to cross my path To show His Love in a simple bath Not being able to communicate Only my dim eyes can translate Thank You, God, for the kindness they show They are unaware of the blessings bestowed Hospice and Palliative Care sent from Heaven above To ease my last days on earth and show God’s Love October 30, 2023 MarkWaldrop
Am I a creature of habit? I think I must be Doing the same things over is easier for me Habit is born from doing the same things over and over again Continually practicing without remorse will lead to very dull men It's difficult to break a powerful habit That is why there are so many rabbits Good habits and bad are difficult to overcome Trying to break the power of repetition, I feel so dumb The Maker of the Universe and the Maker of Me Just for the asking from my habits will set me free October 30, 2023 MarkWaldrop
