Posted with thoughts of all of our friends, who have provided little "stepping stones" to many..... ~~~STEPPING STONES~~~ Dear Lord please always let me see In everything befalling me, A spark of light that I may know That through it all You will it so. May every slight pain I bear Become for me a golden stair, That rises high above the woe Our human hearts were meant to know. May every little heartache felt Each disappointment roughly dealt, Uplift my soul that I may be A fire that brightly burns for Thee. And through life's waters dark and deep, May Thy blessed presence keep Afloat the boat in which I ride Until I reach the other side. For I am but a timid soul In need of Thy dear hand to hold, Ever trusting Thee to lend The strength on which I can depend. Amid the trials Thou has sent, However plaintive my lament. I know my tears, and sighs and growns, Are only little stepping stones. Author.....Grace E. Easley
"May every slight pain I bear Become for me a golden stair, That rises high above the woe Our human hearts were meant to know." Beautiful.
