SEASON OF THANKSGIVING

Our daughter had turned away from the teachings of her childhood to go her own way, BUT GOD did not turn away from her. He worked through the prayers of her family and the values that had been imbedded in her heart as a child. Even though we felt rather hopeless and wondered whether all our efforts as parents had been in vain, God had not given up on our daughter. Everything we had taught, the love we gave, the teachings we "built" into her, was not wasted. We could not SEE how God was working in her life, but He KNEW the final outcome, even when we despaired. The final chapter of her return began with an unplanned pregnancy. When she bore a beautiful little girl, God reminded her of her own upbringing and asked her what she wanted for her child. She chose God's way.
What Thanksgiving and joy resulted when she returned to God and her family! What better event to record here this Thanksgiving week!

When she was married to a dear Christian man six years later, she asked me, her Mom, to write a special poem for their wedding.

L O V E ' S     D E S I G N

My Sweetheart, my True Love,
                today is the day
                we will stand before God, by His grace.
                 I will promise to love you
                'till death do us part,
                 as we stand heart-to-heart, face-to-face.


 All my life I have waited
                for this special day --                                    
               for the one whom my soul yearned to love;
               For my answer to prayer,
               the "One" given to me  
              from the heart of the Father above.


The years I have wasted
              in wandering afar
              are dim memories since I found You,
              As cold snow that melts swiftly
             and soon disappears
             when the Son's warming brilliance 
             breaks through.


Soon our lives will entwine
               as we promise to walk
               from this day forth, always - together.
              With the light of our love
              and the joy of our Lord,
              we'll walk the bright path to forever.


 And lest we should forget,
              there's a dear little girl
              who's been sent by our Father's own plan
              To add giggles, delight,
              and a warm, trusting heart
              to our family, blessed by His hand!

 As we pledge sacred vows
             of commitment and love
            in the hush of this glorious time,
            We'll rejoice in the splendor
            of what God has wrought
           and the excellence of His design!

                       by Mrs. Connie Faust,
                          Mother of the Bride

I'm reminded of the Bible verse, "train up a child in the way he should go, and he shall not depart from it." :) It lives in these lines of reconciliation, redemption, and love - absolutely beautiful, Connie. Well done!

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

Beautiful sentiments, Connie. I'm sure glad your daughter has heard the voice of our Lord. Yes, He knows His sheep, and He will not see them lost. Isn't He wonderful? How can anyone not want to have Jesus in their life baffles me. I'm sure your Thanksgiving celebration was a splendid one indeed.

God Bless
Love, Lena

Oh, Connie! For once AuthorsDen has been graced with a piece of work that beyond the grasp of many writers. One of the most amazing poems I have seen, and your optimism SHINES bright as God's light. May I thank you, on behalf of your daughter, for accepting her little girl and HER despite the mistakes and paths she has chosen during her live. Your love, forgiveness and trust are amazing and only those qualities could allow one to write such a wonderful, wonderful piece.
THIS is a Thanksgiving poem. A true one. Enough with the turkeys, corn, Indians and pilgrims. As adults, it's our responsibility to maturely write what Thanksgiving really is *now*.
Just absolutely splendid.
