Under His Wing

A friend of mine wrote poetry before he died. His name was Dallas Brown. He wrote two books: Intimate Voice of God, Heavy Rain and Light Breezes.

The following is an unpublished poem by him for me and my second wife after my first wife passed.

Under His Wing

Under the Wing of God

I found you

My love, my one and only,

We would have been married long

And happily

But your tragic death

Changed all plans.

Why? Why was I bereft

Of my youthful, loving,

My chaste virgin,

Who knew no man,

Who waited until we

Became one in our own home?

My love for her will not fade.

Healing trudged slow

And sadly, until a day

When he touched my face,

With a Light Breeze

Reminding me of his many

Blessings of life.

I could only love again,

By this power of God.

Don't think me rash,

Or hasty, or as giving up

On a dream I once had.

My dream remains

To do His Will!

If a friend join me

As a new wife

In the Lord,

We shall continue on

In His Steps!

Those Who Love

Jesus’ love is illustrated as a husband who gave the ultimate sacrifice for his wife. “Husbands, love your wife, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her” (Eph. 5:25; cf. Eph. 5:22-33).  Jesus’ love consisted of obedience to the Father by standing up against those who would try to destroy His family; namely, Satan.  Jesus is a true example of one who cares for His family and who wants all people to come to know the truth of the Gospel of Christ.  “For the Son of Man came to seek and save the lost” (Luke 19:10).  There is no better example of love than the love of Jesus.  It is this love that needs to abide within all people. 

On Mother’s Day, people honor and celebrate mothers.  Mothers come in many forms; like, biological mothers, foster mothers, adoptive mothers, grandmothers, and even those ladies who may never have children of their own but who are motherly to those around them.  Mothers are wonderful people.  They tend to show their love through sacrifice, caring, and warmth.  On Mother’s Day, we may even give our mothers flowers, hugs, or make them breakfast in bed.  Yet, in the other 364 days of the year, how do we treat our mothers?  Jesus gave His very life for His wife – the church.  He loved, protected, and cared for her.  Therefore, always remember the example of Jesus’ love; especially, to our mothers. 

Have a happy Mother’s day every day of the year!

The Lord's humbled . . . John A. Reeves
