Life in the Balance

Life in the balance:
Here I am at Double Tree.
Hilton Residence.
Reflecting on life’s values…
After devastating loss.

A raging fire,
taking hold of property,
devastating household;
in balance, human lives saved;
thanks to a merciful God.

This is a message:
We are here by God’s grace.
Let us be thankful,
and not take life for granted.
It is a heavenly gift.

Every breath of life
is, oh so very precious.
Every breath we take,
comes from the great Almighty,
showering all with blessings.

Giving us loved ones.
Enriching us with friendships.
And with families.
Neighbors to ease our hardships.
And children to share their joy.

Friends, we are all charged
to be each other’s keepers;
for life is sacred;
set aside for God’s purpose;
since we are all His vessels.

Our Lord is shepherd.
Surely, our cups run over.
We lack for nothing.
We are comforted in all.
Grace and Mercy follow us.
