Broken heart,
Broken home,
Broken health,
Broken…(fill the blank):
satan is in the business of Breaking
The Lord – by glorious contrast –
is in the Business of Making ! -eab, 1/8/09

Live This Hour

I cannot live tomorrow,
Nor should I even try.
I cannot live yesterday
It’s gone for aye, bye-bye.
I cannot live the morning,
If it’s already past the noon.
I cannot live the evening
(unless it comes “real soon”).
I must live this hour,
Enjoying it in the Lord,
Must live it in His power,
Through His presence and His Word.

Penned a few miles north of Lake Ontario in eastern Ontario.
