The Healing House
Fifteen minutes from the Carolina border
There’s a rainbow in her eyes…
Tears fall freely to her sunburned shoulder
Farewell is easier than goodbye
Dear [Mariah] Grace, now give me your hand
I promise I’ll receive you well
Cling to this promise of a broken man
You caught me when I fell
Dear [Ambria] Faith, you seemed to have disappeared
Suddenly and without warning
When I needed you most, you reappeared
Heaven’s mercies ever pouring
Dear [Ashlyn] Hope, consider me captive
Without your embrace I’m over-reactive
Doubting and turning and perpetually learning
And Father’s Day you heard me pray
Take me home to the healing house
Running barefoot across the yard
Counting the distant, falling stars
Swinging trees and sun-kissed breeze
A grateful daddy on his knees

Jerry, You are very brave to make such a leap of faith and completely trust in the Lord. So glad you have found your healing and I pray that you will continue to do so. I am praying for you for spiritual strength. Rely on your mentors for help and most of all rely on Christ, for He is your Rock.
