i've been reading this devotion book called Streams in the Desert which i pulled off of faye's bookshelf. the devotion for march 5th, our mom's birthday, seemed so fitting for her life...and i thought i'd share it with y'all:
"We are made partaker of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast unto the end" Hebrews 3:14.
It is the last step that wins; and there is no place in the pilgrim's progress where so many dangers lurk as the region that lies hard by the portals of the
In the bitter waves of woe
Beaten and tossed about
By the sullen winds that blow
From the desolate shores of doubt,
Where the anchors that faith has cast
Are dragging in the gale,
I am quietly holding fast
To the things that cannot fail.
And fierce though the fiends may fight,
And long though the angels hide,
I know that truth and right
Have the universe on their side;
And that somewhere beyond the stars
Is a love that is better than fate.
When the night unlocks her bars
I shall see Him--and I will wait.
