RIPPLE EFFECT . . .

ART & POETRY BY PAUL & KATHY BOECHER

It seems that nothing matters anymore,
When tears like floods fall gently to the floor,
When life itself seems meaningless and lost,
We long for respite from the horrid cost.

The difference that we made won’t mean a thing,
When our last breath to God we finally bring,
The things that we’ve established on this earth,
They’re soon forgotten and they bear no worth.

The ripples that we’ve stirred along the way,
Will shine a little while, but pass away,,
To really make a difference while we’re here,
We first must love and cast away all fear.

Alone we can’t accomplish this one thing,
We need the One Eternal Light to bring,
To lift us from the depths of hell below,
To alter hearts to love and overflow.

The cost of our redemption is not cheap,
He shed His blood our souls to wash and keep,
We owe Him nothing for the ransom paid,
Just turn to Him and never be afraid.

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.

  1. Amen. Kathy, there is faithful strength found in our Father’s plan for our redemption, which never ceases in its journey. Like the ocean tides, every saved soul adds to each heavenly ripple effect.

    “In all labour there is profit…” Proverbs 14:23

    The labour of His working through us bears eternal consequences and in His kindness His rewards outweigh our estimation of our endeavors…

    “For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.”
    Hebrews 6:10

    I have often been refreshed by your sharing. The sower rarely sees the fruit of their labor.

    Blessings
    BT
