    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!
