The sentiment of PEACE is a wonderful way to welcome in the new year. Your lovely piece reminds me of a verse in Isaiah 26:3: “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on thee.”
Just to say it is a beautiful poem is not enough. It warmed my heart, brought tears of joy, and peace flowed through me. I love “step by step”…powerful words.
How delighted I’ve found your site.
The poem about Peace and Joy
Is this ok if I use this poem to put in our weekly prayer notice. Including your name .
So that other readers would be able to look these beautiful poems up.
We are trying to put something together in our small village. Where our church is locked a opportunity to still reach out . Blessings Sandra
Hi, Sandra. I would be delighted to have you share my poems with credit note in your weekly prayer notice. Thanks so much for visiting my blog and for your thoughtful note. A weekly prayer notice is a great way to share during these times when we are not able to get together as a community. Our church is holding Zoom services, sending email updates in addition to mailing to those who are not online. ❤ Sending love and prayers… ❤ Blessings to you and yours, my new friend!
Beautiful poem, Bette, for any time of the year! Thanks for sharing at the #LMMLinkup! We’ll be back tomorrow with another linkup. We took off last week for the holiday.
Thanks so much for stopping by to visit my #LMMLinkup post and for your thoughtful comment, Gayl. ❤ May your week be filled with blessings and love… xo
Since I have just recently started following your blog, I had not read this post before. So thank you for sharing it again at #LMMLinkup today. What a blessed gift to see how the Lord Himself would allow us to be a gift of peace to each other! Blessings to you!
Since I recently published a post about September being the start of a new year, I loved the fact that you offered this particular post in this week’s Senior Salon. Beautiful thoughts, beautifully written, Bette. Peace to you and yours – this upcoming year and always.
