If you have gone a little way ahead of me, call back--
'Twill cheer my heart and help my feet along the stony track;
And if, perchance, Faith's light is dim, because the oil is low,
Your call will guide my lagging course as wearily I go.
Call back, and tell me that He went with you into the storm,
Call back, and say He kept you when the forest's roots were torn;
That, when the heavens thunder and the earthquake shook the hill,
He bore you up and held you where the very air was still.
Oh, friend, call back, and tell me for I cannot see your face;
They say it glows with triumph, and your feet bound in the race;
But there are mists between us and my spirit eyes are dim,
And I cannot see the glory, though I long for word of Him.
But if you'll say He heard you when your prayer was but a cry,
And if you'll say He saw you through the night's sin-darkened sky--
If you have gone a little way ahead, of friend, call back--
'Twill cheer my heart and help my feet along the stony track.
in Streams of the Desert by Mrs. Charles E. Cowman, December 19, pg 363-364
Bits and pieces of my life. I am a lifelong Christian. I have been married for over 42 years to Stan. No children. We have 1 Chihuahua, Christopher Robin, and 3 cats named Capt. Fishipants (a rare MALE calico), Daphne Doolittle, Amelia Peabody. We have 9 nieces/nephews and 10 grandnieces/nephews whom we love. My hobbies are genealogy, reading, digital scrapbooking, history, dogs, homemaking. This is a personal blog, not a business. I share what interests me I am not selling or making a profit.
