I love thee, I love but thee
With a love that shall not die
Till the sun grows cold
And the stars grow old.

~ by Willam Shakespeare ~

Grief will not last, joy will return,
For through our tears we clearly see
That while we part but for a time,
With Christ we'll spend eternity. -D. De Haan

Through prayer, finite man draws upon the power of the infinite God.

Towering over the tiny town
I look upon the model train
As it passes through the model town
Full of models made of cheap plastic
And old wood

The town is fragile and musn’t be touched
For with the pressure of one hand,
Any building I can crush and destroy
And I must be careful of the model trains
For I can with ease derail the trains and wreak
Havoc in the model town

As I tower over the tiny town
I wonder as I realize
That too God we are smaller
Than the citizens of the little town
On the table
Yet somehow he cares for our needs
As insignificant as they seem in the
Grand scheme of things
As he looks down from Heaven

Amy, the poems you are posting with these Welcome graphics are absolutely wonderful! They couldn't fit any better. I did see the one with the children you posted earlier this week. I wanted to tell you thank you for your efforts in making P & P fun and 'pretty' to look at and read - and that I know it takes time and dedication to search for just the right words to post, and one doesn't have to be able to write them to appreciate them. I love your great-aunt's poems especially - maybe because they're 'closer to home'. :)

I also wanted to post the latest update from wolfie, and he wanted me to say hello and thank you to all who have been concerned about him, prayed for him, wished him to get well. He's lost 7 pounds in these 2 weeks. That's not good. :( Here, from wolfie, from last night:

"Not much change here. Tendons seem to be part of the problem now. Primary care hasn't corrected anything so I'm to see the orthopedist early next week. Surely he'll figure out where this pain and swelling is coming from."
