View the world without the weight of yesterday a feat most difficult It clouds the vision and dulls the heart We struggle to shrug off the past to clear our vision The weight of the world is burdensome enough without dragging the past with us through life Copyright (C) 2023 Penny Wilson
Stumbling through life my sins and appetites led me I chose the wrong path always I lived in a world where no Gods exist Until my vision cleared I saw no other way Copyright (C) 2023 Penny Wilson #Name Your Number Challenge Click here for info and to join in!

Today, God,
I will listen
for your words.
I will look for you
in my actions.
I will treat others
with kindness.
I will look to you
for strength.
Help me look to you
in all things
tomorrow, God.

I am not really a religious person. I have my beliefs and try to live my life the best I can.
But When it comes down to it, isn’t it all based on faith?
When do we really feel secure? How long does it take for a child to feel secure the first time they let go of their parent’s hand?
Are you secure, wrapped in your blankets at night; sure there will be no fire, or intruder? How many paychecks are you away from being homeless? Most of us are not many. Are you secure that your children will not be bullied or molested when they leave your home?
What gives us security is our faith.
It’s Faith to look in the eyes of our beloved and believe what they say. Faith to send our children to school and pray they will come to no harm.
We are a society of faith. We believe the walls of our society will not crumble.
Faith is what holds us together.
Have Faith, my friends. Your faith will keep you strong.

Because
of you
Inside the darkness
I found light
and the seeds
of my tomorrows
I stand
on the edge
of an abyss
no longer
fearing the drop
but anticipating
the flight
I step off
and take wing

Loving You is the only thing I want to do, but how do I love You when I cannot see You, or touch You? Some say You do not exist, but I know they are wrong. Yet I long to love You so completely that there is not a moment that passes that I do […]
Loving You — Source of Inspiration
I fight
the good fight
At least
I tell myself that
I fall down
and get up
Fall down
get up
I stumble
more often
than I care to admit
I win most of
the arguments
with myself
these days
Other days
I'm just not up
for another skirmish
The war
rages on
Each day
I tell myself that
'today I will do better'
And sometimes
it's true
