Look at that sky
sorrow and sadness must fly
it's time to stand up
kick abuse to the curb
no more woe-is-me
no more words that disturb
God gave us a choice
He gave us a voice
I'll make my way
beginning today
and for all the tomorrows
believing in truth
forgiveness and peace
a gift from above
given in love
ours to claim
and without blame
see how easy it is
to wash away the gray.

ReplyDeleteI nearly missed this. Renee, I'm pleased at the positivity in this poem. There are some things we can control, and others are out of our hands, but it sounds like you've turned a corner. Choose beauty for sure!
ReplyDeleteReform theology originated with the teachings of John Calvin, a French theologian who lived in the 16th century. Calvin's teachings emphasized the sovereignty of God in salvation and the doctrine of predestination, which holds that God chooses who will be saved before they are born. Calvin's ideas were highly influential in the Protestant Reformation, which sought to reform the Catholic Church. Visit: Five points of calvinism Smith
