Faith, Folklore, and Friends

Peace I leave with you, my  peace I give unto you:not  as the world giveth, give I  unto you.  Let not your  heart be troubled, neither  let it be afraid. ~John 14:27

  I’ll never forget the trouble, the utter lostness, the taste of ashes, the poison I’ve swallowed. I remember it all—oh, how well I remember— the feeling of hitting the bottom. But there’s one other thing I remember, and remembering, I keep a grip on hope:   God ’s loyal love couldn’t have run out, his merciful love couldn’t have dried up. They’re created new every morning. How great your faithfulness! I’m sticking with God (I say it over and over). He’s all I’ve got left. ~Lamentations 3:19-24 The Message
