Photography and Poem By Suzanne Pfau

We take for granted - health How we feel when we wake in the morning How we feel after a long bike ride or a swimming meet or just daily life. We go about our daily chores Caring for family, caring for ourselves, living as we know how. Then “whamm” we get a call or we see it happen, Our mate has had an incident. Something is wrong. Something is not right. Where do we get our strength? Who do we turn to? Where do we seek solace? Family – friends – Health workers - pastors Will she live? Will he die? Who will care for you? Pray - Talk to God Pray - Listen for God’s voice Pour out your thoughts and doubts. Listen Music tells the story. Listen Music gives God the glory Gives us strength Gives us peace Power in melody and words. People – family – friends and others Gather them around you Hold them close Strength comes from within and without Through talking to God and others Through listening to music and prayer.
