RISE TO NEW LIFE
Is all death punishment and losing?
Life on earth is not of our choosing
Eternal life is the crown jewel
And love transforms into renewal
We wanted them to live forever
Healthy, happy days; changing never
While the grieving tend the grave
Stumbling children misbehave
Producers of anger led by strife
Cities without trees, water or life
Wake up while you can come to yourself
Put mourning and anger on the shelf
Read something to them from the Good Book
Change their minds about the way things look
Breathe the precious life He gives
Everywhere His Spirit lives
“…he has crossed over from death to life.”
John 5:24

About the Book
When you hear a mourning dove cooing softly in the morning, it might be a reminder of the Holy Spirit, to comfort you.
He is as close as a whisper in your ear. O, my Dove, my Beloved, I trust You, by faith, to be my Comforter and to be with me forever. Breathe your gentleness back into my broken heart and into my dry bones. I lift my head toward the Light, my Jesus, the only one who gave his life for me. I am renewed, equipped and free to tell the story of the journey to heaven, given to me through an abundant treasure of words, like choice pearls of wisdom.
