THE WAY . . .

ART & POETRY BY PAUL & KATHY BOECHER©

There are many twists and turns in life. Some reach the epitome of excitement and joy, while others can drag us into a pit of despair. Even in the darkest corners, God is there to show us the way.

You walked the path of life for me – You suffered for my loss.

You sacrificed Your own dear Son, upon an ugly cross.

You did this for a worm like me, You gave to me your best

Now I can walk that road to You and in Your arms find rest.

I don’t deserve this precious gift. I don’t deserve Your love.

I’ve spat upon this Son of Yours who came from Heaven above.

I’ve scorned Him as did men of old. The scourge I laid on Him.

The nails that pinned Him to the tree, were placed there with my sin.

The story didn’t end that day. It just began, you see.

For Jesus, Christ, the Son of God, returned to life for me.

The flesh that once was bruised and scorned and broken now is whole.

He conquered death – He rose again – He saved my dying soul.

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.

    WONDERFUL, Cathy! I love the way you addressed the personal responsibility we all carry for the suffering Christ endured, and then ended with the glorious assurance that he conquered death–for US–all in rhyming, rhythmic verse no less! WELL DONE!

      Thank you for your kind words. I don’t really consider myself a poet. It’s just another venue for expressing my love for a God who loves me more.

    Powerful words Kathy. “You walked the path of life for me – You suffered for my loss.” They pack a punch right from the start. I love your late husband’s painting too. I don’t know much about art, but I’ve always loved Albert Bierstadt’s paintings of the American West. This painting reminds me of the way Bierstadt would light up the mountains in his paintings. Just beautiful.
