ART & POETRY BY PAUL & KATHY BOECHER©
Water calmed by the silence and absence of wind,
Glasslike in the brilliant sun,
Quiet, tranquil, away from the maddening crowds of interfering life,
For a brief moment, the world stands still, and you are reminded,
That He alone brings perfect peace,
A peace that transcends all human understanding,
A solitude that will last throughout eternity,
Take the peace freely given with open arms,
Bathe in it, clothe yourself with it, delight in each breath of it,
And pass it on to someone who longingly awaits the same.
About atimetoshare.me
As I reach the end of my years, I find I have a lot of good information stored up in this old decrepit mind of mine. If I don't write it all down, it may vanish and no one will have the advantage of my thoughts. This is why this blog exists. I love the Lord, Jesus with all my heart and soul. I know I'm undeserving of all He's done for me, but I also know that His love is beyond my comprehension.
I've always wanted to write. I never kept diaries, but tucked my thoughts in my head for future reference. I use them now in creating stories, plays, poetry and my blog.
I continue to learn every day. I believe the compilation of our time spent with God will have huge affect on the way we live. I know I'm a sinner and I need a Savior. I have One through Jesus, Christ.
My book, "Stages - a memoir," is about the seven stages of life from the perspective of a woman. It addresses all the things girls and women go through in life as they travel it with Jesus, and it is available on Amazon.com.

The peace that passes all understanding. What a powerful poem and picture, Mama K. On Sept. 9th, my best friend from college is taking me to the beach. I must admit, amid the storms and raging seas of disease, change, and unknowns, I’m anchored to Christ! My family was a bit worried, at first, with me traveling so far. I’ve always been a mountain girl. But perhaps, the salt water, relaxation, and trip would be good for me. I’m accepting it as a gift from God. I pray for you and Paul daily. You are always in my heart and prayers. I love you.

I understand why your family is concerned, but you are always in God’s hands, no matter where you are. I know that seems foolish to some, but I don’t know what I’d do without him. The Lord has power and strength we can’t begin to comprehend. That alone is enough for me to believe in him. His plans are always for our good and he doesn’t want us to stop living until he decides when. I struggle so much with surrender. God is still working on me. Love you, sweet child. We’ll see each other in heaven❤️❤️❤️

He’s working on me too, Mama K. I think when I thought I was going to die, literally, he said, “Let me have it.” That made it easier than for me to think, “let it go.” Does that make sense? When I think of HIS huge hands taking it from me, I don’t hold things with a grip anymore. Even my adult sons (who I’ve prayed for one hours upon hours and I see hints of hope!!). I’ve been reading a book about Resilience and I go to my favorite authors, Tozer, AB Simpson, and then, also, just every day authors and of course, THE WORD! Then I come here and read words like yours and I’m instantly encouraged. I see trials, testimonies, and those, much wiser than me, living out their last days in hope and truth; even through the tests! It truly does inspire me! You have no idea! It’s never foolish to me. His Spirit completely indwells in me. Not even a slip of paper can get between my Savior and I anymore. Tee hee. I use humor, too. My family and I still try to find ways to laugh. I know one day we will hug tightly when we meet. I can’t wait. 💕💕💕🤗🤗🤗

Just imagine not caring ever again or having sadness grip your heart. It will be joy beyond compare. I can’t wait either.❤️
