...Linwood House Ministries up in British Columbia is a place and a people we are fully committed to, even from a distance, and we welcome times of being with them, as we will have a couple of days with a few of their leaders two weeks from tomorrow...can't wait!
...one of their team is given to great poetic talent, and we welcome what this special lady gives out or her own journey:
Linwood Gratitude
Gratitude...
not a place
where
I am
easily
found Yet amidst
the pain
and grieving
thankfulness
creeps
in... Laughter
in the kitchen
as
women work together
serving
“The Journey” A long
hug
in the
embrace of
an Aussie sister,
daughter Sweet gifts
of sweets
and sweat
from
strangers
and friends
that lighten
my load A loved one
who rubs
my aching
feet
when sunlight
dims An
example of
a Father’s
love
in a hug
a squeeze
of an arm
words...
“I can hardly
wait to see you
tomorrow” A sacred
space to
grow and learn
cry and heal
breathe in and out A friend
and employer
who journeys
with me
into the
hope
of my story
