One day
We will walk the path of light.
Unsure if our Lord will be pleased with us.
Will we be met with an embrace of Love
or will we see disappointment in the Face of our Saviour?
Least we forget the gifts of our Lord.
Will we be judged
on how we shared His gifts?

What could be more important in this life
than knowing you truly made a difference?
Knowing you brought love to others
encouragement to others
laughter and joy to others
especially when darkness was about in their lives.
What could be more important
than sharing the wonderful news of the Love of the Lord
for us all?

The Light of Knowledge Can Overcome Depression.
Today in our American Society the single most deadly disease is Depression. In over a half century this disease of the mind is still a mystery to the medical profession. Many famous men and woman through the centuries have had this disease and overcame it, while others, learned to live with it on a daily basis.
Many times in just having the ability to share your story, is the first step in overcoming this disease. Keeping this disease at bay can also be accomplished by this approach. If you are one who is currently dealing with depression, had overcome depression, or currently dealing with it on a day-to-day basis, I wish to share your story on my WordPress Blog site.
Whether you wish to identify yourself or wish not to is an option that is yours. Send me your stories to share. In so doing many on the internet that are in a dark place, without seemly the hope of light, will find such light in reading your story. Whether your sharing is in a poetry format or story format, each will be acceptable for publication on this blog site.
