Our Son is Coming Home Wednesday...



...and we take delight in him...

"Pick Yourself Up"

Nothing's impossible, I have found
For when my chin is on the ground
I pick myself up, dust myself off, start all over again!

Don't lose your confidence, if you slip
Be grateful for a pleasant trip
And pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and start all over again

Work like a soul inspired till the battle of the day is won.
You may be sick and tired, but you'll be a man, my son!
Don't you remember the famous men who had to fall to rise again?
They picked themselves up, dust themselves off, and started all over again!

  2. LOVE that poem... and I LOVE that our Omniscient God-Who-is-ABLE knows the exact day and hour that your son/ His child, Josiah, will be stepping over the threshold of home. And His plan for him is good...for HOPE and a FUTURE. He is our GOD of RESTORATION. Our prayers continue for Josiah. And we thank our GOD for His unending GRACE... WELCOME HOME, Josiah! <3 We love you all...
