ART & POETRY BY PAUL & KATHY BOECHER

The birds in this pencil sketch by Paul, shows the change in shifts between mama and papa eagle. Each bird takes their turn in sitting on the soon-to-be baby eaglets before they hatch. When the babies arrive, they will continue to care for them together. That’s what family is meant to be. Our time on this earth is short in the scope of God’s planning. Every second, every breath, every day together is an opportunity not only to be there for each other physically, but to grow as a unit that can rely on each other and their Creator for all that time.

My life on this planet is merely a breath,

There isn’t enough time it seems,

No work that I do here will help me face death,

The love of the Christ child redeems.

 His sweet little hands reach up from the manger

To touch the face of His mother,

One day those hands will be subject to danger.

Giving His life for another.

We thank you, dear Jesus, for loving us so,

We praise you for what you have done,

You redeemed our salvation and we can go,

Because of your great love we’ve won.

THANK YOU, JESUS, FOR ANOTHER DAY!
