I am afraid

Hold my hand and walk with me, I am afraid to take those steps. My hands and legs are trembling for I do not know what my future will hold. When you fall upon your knees, please remember me. I seem to cry everyday now, do not know why, but It will be alright I hear you say. I am not sure from day to day. I miss my family, friends and co-workers too. So when you can’t get out and go you seem to be one of those forgotten ones. I know you have a life of your own, I just pray you will never walk alone. If it wasn’t for my Lord and my sweet husband I do not know what I would do. The days get longer and time is passing by. My body is not working, my memories are failing me too, I can only pray and dream of good days to come my way and that all this pain will go away. It could be worse I know this is true. So when you read this little note hold someone that you may know that has problems bigger than yours, lift them up, give them love, give of your self when you think you can’t or just remember them in your prayers. Go with God and be blessed. Written By: Melanie Howard Taylor

Up against the Wall

When you are up against the wall and things seem to be closing in, Close your eyes and look toward the heavens there is a light shining brightly just for you. Have faith and reach for the light, for He will guide you and keep you from harm. I stand and praise him, I am proud to be a Christian! I am full of joy to know that my mind and heart is clear and the grace of God is with me. Written By: Melanie Howard Taylor Photo By: Brian Keith Howard
