THE NEW YEAR
By Anita Mondragon
As the New Year drew near, I again found myself looking through some old writings. I stumbled upon a poem written by an elderly lady that attended my dad’s church. She was a great poet, and a wise woman. I decided to share the following with you. Enjoy! –anita

THE WAR IS NOT OVER!

“Things are not what they seem. This is a world at war. Each of us has a crucial role to play…. A battle is raging, and it is a battle for your heart.” -John Eldredge
FROM HIM, TO ME
By Anita Mondragon
During my early years of childhood, our family was very poor. We lived in a ratty old house with plaster walls, most of which was missing. My mom would stuff old rags in between the cracks to keep the cold out. I wore hand-me-downs until I was eight years old, and slept in a crib until I was six. Christmas for us was very different indeed. We struggled to have food on the table, so my brother and I rarely had presents. This poem came from a memory of one Christmas in particular.-anita

MARY’S LITTLE LAMB…

I am always reminded of the verse in John 1:29 that says this:
“Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!”
That Lamb…Mary’s little Lamb, is Jesus!
