YOU
By Catherine Gortner



YOU


I was wandering, and You brought me Home.
I was poor, and You poured gold through my soul.

I was bothered, but You settled me down.
And I was dis-eased, and You caressed off my frown.

I was hurting, You hugged me through friends.
I was alone, Your comfort soothes without end.

I was bent over, You straightened my heart.
I was prodded and pushed, and found Your strength's humble start.

Tears fall at night, but crystalline dew falls at dawn.
Troubles disperse in the warmth of Your calm.

You're my friend, you're my breath, you're my life, you're my Father
You're my God, you're my Servant, you're my Redeemer, you're my Brother

Like the brook for the deer and trailing white clouds for the skies,
You're the food for my soul and the sight for my eyes.

CAREGIVERS HELPING HURTING PEOPLE

The following are a few of this month's inspiring examples of
People Helping Hurting People. These Caregivers will
be passing out Salvation Prayer and Poem Bookmarks

Recently my father was in critical care unit of our local hospital. Through our faith and many prayers he has recovered and is doing well. While staying in the CCU waiting room for 30+ days, I noticed a lot of hurting people. I feel that these bookmarks of prayer and poems would help and comfort some of these people. The local churches and youth organizations provide snacks for the waiting room and the bookmarks could be put on the counter with the snacks for the people to take as they choose.

We have a street ministry called Street Warriors for Jesus Christ. We play gospel music and go different places and hand out different things trying to bring just one lost soul to our Savior.
