Faith and Feathers

June 22, 2020June 24, 2020 / pastorpete51 / 5 Comments

This week-end I came across a feather that one of the hawks in our neighborhood lost in a tussle with a mocking bird. It was still so well preserved that i brought it home and washed it and then mailed it off with this poem to our youngest grandson. I hope that it may be a blessing to some other child like thinking friends out there. I hope everyone has a great week!

Faith is Like a Feather

Faith is like a feather

That can move a million pounds

It can shake a mighty mountain

Without making any sounds

It sings when we are lonely

And sits close when we are sad

Then carries us to Jesus

To forgive us when we’re bad

It will teach us to keep praying

Even when we’re growing weak

And will fly with us to heaven

Where with Jesus we will meet

He Who Works Mysteriously

I and Me and Mine and My

Were all that I could see

When life was just smooth sailing

The world was about me

But winds and pains and waves have tossed

My comforts overboard

Till driven by the storm I put

My focus on the Lord

For He who works mysteriously

His will and by His way

To Him who loves us fully

I give my life today

Heaven’s Rest

Heaven’s Rest

The Sabbath was a gift to man

Since creation we could hear

A sound that echoes down our paths

Of God’s footsteps drawing near

For in six mighty days God made

All fins and paws and wings

And His children in a garden there

And tulips for each spring

Then last God paused and gave one day

For us to see we’re blessed

And remember all His work in Christ

And in Christ find Heaven’s Rest!
