About This Blog

I am starting this blog to document the life lessons I learn each day. I want a record for myself and my children. I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the posts will often reflect and share my beliefs. I have been blessed to be able to see eternal lessons in everyday events. What I struggle with is their application. I believe God gives me constant mini epiphanies to keep me on the straight and narrow path back to him. I admire those who stalwartly march forward with a firm faith that does not need to be constantly renewed by reminders. I have chosen to share my lessons in hopes that they may help others who need a nudge or pick-me-up on their journey home.

AN ANGEL IN GETHSEMANE


Our savior pled in agony
Father remove this cup from me
Father sent strength His son could see
An angel to Gethsemane

In gratitude for Christ’s vast love
For His atoning drops of blood
God’s envoy for humanity
The angel in Gethsemane

When in tears I plea to give up
Father wilt Thou remove this cup
Heavenly Father sends to me
My angel in Gethsemane

I had no balm for Christ’s great pain
My brother’s anguish I can wane
For others grieving I can be
An angel in Gethsemane

Inspired by Luke 22: 42-44
I wrote the poem in Long Meter (8888) so it can be sung to any correspondingly metered music.
