His Presence

Teresa Mahieu

His Presence

And she felt alone-

even in a crowd.

Betrayed by human weakness-

raped without the motion.

And God saw her hurt-

consumed by her confusion,

emotions running wild.

God called upon His children-

sent to her an angel,

who touched her heart

with human kindness.

He sent to her a strangers love-

His Love.

And now she feels His presence,

even when she is

Alone.

Thank You Mary Faith!

Today is Mother's Day ~ not only a day to honor our mothers but also a day to honor those that stepped in and were "like mothers" to us when we needed them. A day to honor the women in our lives that represent faith, hope and love! My friend, Mary Faith, was just such a woman. Over the years we've moved on in our lives and lost contact. But I've never forgotten her and the wonderful lessons of faith, hope and unconditional love that she taught me. Her middle name was perfect for her, somehow her mother must have known the kind, gentle woman she would grow to become. On this day I wish her a Happy Mother's Day also, where ever she may be.Tess
