A different way of seeing

Fair Hope

Posted on April 20, 2013 by Mary Ann

“The world is indeed full of peril and in it there are many dark places.
But still there is much that is fair. And though in all lands, love is now
mingled with grief, it still grows, perhaps, the greater.” J.R.R. Tolkien, Lord of the Rings

at the end of a week marked

with tragedy, peril, dark places

help me find the fair

green pastures, still waters

light overcoming darkness

love greater than grief

Wendy, it is good to be in the labor room with friends who keep on whispering encouragement. Thank you.

What a blessing your words and the quote are this morning, Mary Ann! It does seem like the birth pains are coming closer and more intense lately: But love still prevails.

Lovely prayer, Mary Ann. I wish I could upload a photo of my roses taken this week. Maybe I’ll email you.
