 THE SECRET OF HOPE
 
Larger Print
 
We live in economic times in which desperation has often replaced hope. The very word hope has lost meaning, until hope has become mere wishful thinking. But God's hope is so much different. His hope is not the pie-in-the-sky variety, though even wishful thinking can often send us searching for our real hope in Jesus.
 
THE SECRET OF HOPE restores depth to the word HOPE and, through poetry, verse and Scripture, brings the reader back to a place of faith and the hope that tomorrow can be better because tomorrow, as today, is in God's hands.
 
THE SECRET OF HOPE inspires as it challenges the reader to reach for hope in Christ.

WALLS I MAKE
 
(c) 2009 Carolyn R Scheidies

What I think of as walls
Often turn out to be
My stubborn pride,
An unwillingness to listen--at all,
Refusal to hear,
Refusal to risk,
Out of fear,
A determination to dig in
Accepting only
My will, not His direction,
My way, not His correction.
Only as I lay myself down, bow...
And lift Him up
Do things shift.
Walls become doors.
His plans within
Become my map, my core,
My way to healing, wholeness and hope,
In Him.
 
Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. --Revelation 3:20 KJV

How Do I Love Thee…

 

Let me count the ways. In this collection of articles and verse from such greats as Shakespeare, Browning and Byron as well as the author, the reader will feel the stirring of romance and the depth of love.

 

Read how to have a great courtship or that “perfect” marriage, renew your heart with Through Time, The Embrace and more in sections such as “I Love You When Our Love is New”; I Love You When We Say, ‘I Do.’”; and “I Love You Always & Forever.”

 

Most of all, be drawn to the foundation of love, the one who always loves unconditionally and gives our relationships and marriages security—Jesus Christ.

 

A great gift for Valentine’s Day, for shower or wedding gifts or for a “just because” gift of love. The book may serve as good way to open up dialogue with that love-struck teen who doesn’t yet understand what love is all about.

 

TOGETHER

 

A couple snuggles together,

            In a flower filled meadow

soft and green.

 

A picnic lunch on a blanket spread,

            Completes

the romantic country scene.

 

But, love is more than romance,

            It’s the meeting of two hearts,

 

In a faithful loving union

            From which only death shall part.

 

It is laughing and loving and hugging,

            Sticking through good and bad times.

 

It is caring and forgiving

            In a trust that lasts...a lifetime.
