Happy
are those who trust in the Lord.
Psalm
40:4a, Good News Bible
After
my Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) returned last Spring (2016), I
felt depressed and anxious. Worried about each little thing.
Then, one day it dawned on me something was missing. I
wasn’t trying to be positive. I feel better when I am not
weighted down with worry.
So,
I turned to what I love best: reading Spiritual, uplifting books and
writing poetry and plays. I began reading Jesus Calling* again. Some
points I read were:
- Trust is a staff you can lean on when you journey uphill with me. Lean on, trust in me consistently and the staff will bear as much of your weight as you need. (January 22)
- Hope will get you through. “Hope is a Golden cord connecting you to Heaven. The more you cling, the more I bear the weight of your burdens.” (Jan 8)
Inspired
by these words I rewrote the following “poem” (Which I never let
anyone read before)
Hope
Hope is a thing you can’t
live without
Sometimes it’s cold and grey
Like a slice of sunlight on a
cold day
And I know, things will get
better
With God’s help.
And they do.
In His way.

is going to be my year, and even if it isn’t, I know I will be all
right. Happy are those who trust in the Lord.
Dear God, help me to trust
in you when things are dark and grey as I trust in you when things
are light. Let me lean on your staff. Amen
