On tranquil seas,
I wish to sail . . .
sans any storm
or gathering gale.
Smoothing sailing,
is all I want
no rough waters
to leave me gaunt.
Just blissful calm,
nothing more
no raging waves
breaking ashore.
Peaceful days,
restful nights
no disturbances
in which to fight.
But, this I know,
Lord can’t be true
so I’ll just sail . . .
in closer to You!
~~~~~~~
“These things I have spoken unto you,
that in me ye might have peace.
In the world ye shall have tribulation:
but be of good cheer;
I have overcome the world.”

Ah, thank you Patty. I still have you in my prayer journal. I do pray all is going well and the Lord is leading the doctors into finding out what might be wrong. ~ Have a blessed day with Jesus ~

Reblogged this on Wings of the Wind and commented:
I always include at least one poem from Deborah Ann each week. This was a much needed drink at an oasis along my journey this week. God’s Word is, of course, my primary source of strength, but Deborah Ann’s Words are based on scripture.
This was the favorite verse of a college friend who went on to become a pastor.
Thanks again, Deborah, for sharing your wonderful gift with us.

Indeed He is. Making the choice to get closer to Jesus in each storm is one way to be better prepared for when they blow in 🙂 ~ Have a blessed day with Jesus ~
