      THE RESURRECTION IS EVERYTHING, ISN’T it? It’s a metaphor for the whole Christian life. Without it, what’s dead is just dead. Over. Finished. Buried forever. No hope of new life springing forth. But in Jesus, we have the promise that death is not the

      Through the Storm - Priscilla Akua Boakye

      WARMTH

      How nice to walk into warmth

      An escape from the cold outside

      The chill that numbs the toes and fingers

      And my spine within

      How good it is to feel

      The body heat up again

      And the numbness in the extremities wane

      It is like a revival, an awakening

      But even better is another kind of warmth

      The warmth that makes life worth living

      The warmth that gives

      Hope and encouragement

      It is the warmth of a smile

      The warmth from the eyes

      Reflecting something good from the inside

      The warmth of a touch

      A soft caress of affection

      It is the warmth of a soft voice

      Whispering in the ear

      Words of love

      Words of peace and comfort

      The warmth of an embrace

      Shielding you from the coldness out there

      Yes, the warmth of another

      The warmth of love

      That gives a sense of belonging

      The warmth that assures you

      That you are always welcome, always loved

      It is the warmth of the Saviour’s love

      YET, MY SOUL WILL SING

      When the wind blows hard against me

      And I cannot find my feet

      When I am floating in the unknown

      Pondering over what lies ahead

      All my soul will sing is,

      Blessed be the name of the Lord!

      When I close my eyes

      And I am not sure of what I see

      Yet in fear to open them

      For what confronts me

      Still my eyes will behold the Lord

      And my soul will sing,

      O Lord You are beautiful!

      When my senses go
