ART & POETRY BY PAUL & KATHY BOECHER©

This mural is in the underground parking area of a lovely retirement community in our area.  Paul and his plein air group of artists spent many hours creating a number of murals last summer in the heat and humidity.  We look for signs and sometimes they are apparent – the budding trees of spring, the first new growth on our lawns – the robins that make their appearance.  There are signs all around us.  All we need to do is see them. God will make them known to us.

The road is full of stumbling blocks, we see them every day,
Our path is full of hiccups which toughen up the way,
Our journey to eternity is filled with indecision,
We struggle through all daily tasks, requiring supervision,
The signs that lead to nowhere, just clutter up our walk,
We can’t decide which way to go, we simply talk the talk,
But when we walk with Jesus, our road is made quite clear,
The things that seemed impossible, lose all their haunting fear,
Our daily walk is easy when we simply trust in Him,
We’ll reach our destination and in the end we win!
