Everyone
needs this message! - Catherine
E.
We live in
scary times.
Conflicts
around the world fill news shows with images of
death and destruction. Changing weather patterns
create monster storms and natural disasters that
shock and horrify us.
Rising
prices make us wonder if we’ll be able to
afford gasoline for the car - or food for the
table.
Scary
times.
Dreadful
illnesses that we thought were a thing of the past
are making a comeback. The horrors of AIDS,cancer,
and other life-threatening diseases cost thousands
of lives each year. Medical care - and the drugs to
manage disease - are increasingly unavailable to
those who need them most.
Scary.
Despite
modern conveniences, people today have less leisure
time than their great-grandparents. Families have
less time together than ever before, with family
meals more memory than reality. The divorce rate is
at an all-time high, and rising annually.
Is it any
wonder that stress is epidemic among us? How can we
hope to find peace in a world filled with pain?
God
will make a way, where there is none that you can
see. . .
It’s
easy to forget that we’re not alone, that we
move through life accompanied by the Angels and our
loving Creator. In the midst of our pain, we may
not hear the gentle guidance and assurance they
offer us.
We need
something to bring us back to the truths that have
guided countless generations.
Like a
lighthouse shining in the darkness, Only Trust -
the poem and image by the Angel Ladies - is a
beacon of hope.
When life
seems too hard, too hopeless, Only Trust reminds us
that there is a Divine Plan and that, despite the
pain of the moment, all will be well.
Nothing
is too hard for God, in whose image you are
made...
For
Yourself
Hang the beautiful, full-colour print where you can

For
Others
Order a set of Only Trust blank note cards to send

running to the mall to search for a get-well or
condolence card, you’ll have the perfect card
for any need right at hand.
Even
better, the card will do more than carry your
message to your loved one. It will touch their
hearts with comfort. They’ll turn again and
again to powerful message of Only Trust, and each
time they’ll find the peace they and strength
they need to get through the challenges of their
lives.
What
better gift could you offer?
The
Poem
The opening lines of the poem came easily to Angel
Lady Jean
Porche,
the author, but no more. Over a period of years,
she wrote various versions of it, but they all
seemed forced and trite.
It was
during a severe illness that the breakthrough came.
Lying in bed, suffering pain and high fevers, the
opening lines ran through her mind when she was
unable to focus and pray. God will make a way where
there is none that you can see...
The lines
became her prayer and her comfort through the long
sleepless nights. As she began her recovery, the
poem teased at her until finally she searched out
an old copy, thinking to perhaps rework it yet
again. This time, though, the words flowed easily
and, to her surprise, the poem was finally
finished.
Reading
it, she felt in her heart that it was truly
inspired and showed it to Deborah Vaughan, the
other Angel Lady, for her opinion.
The
Image
Deb
is an avid photographer who’d studied
photojournalism in her younger days. It wasn’t
unusual for her to grab her camera on her way out
the door to run errands.
Years
before, on a trip to the Haliburton region of
Ontario, she’d taken dozens of photographs.
There was one, though, that came to mind as she
read the poem.
It
wasn’t a picture of much, actually, and at the
time, she hadn’t intended to take it. It was
just a rocky path leading down to the lake, which
wasn’t even visible in the shot. Nevertheless,
she had a nagging feeling that she had to
photograph it, so she did.
Now,
reading Only Trust, she realized that this image
was the perfect one to accompany the little poem.
As she brought it out, the photograph revealed its
secret. The photo of the path leading to the unseen
lake was a perfect metaphor for the journey of
life!
The
shadowy path, strewn with stones and debris, like
the days of struggle that face us all.... The
peaceful forest on either side, filled with beauty
like the little joys of life we so often miss...
And, straight ahead, the brilliant light...both the
respite that awaits us and the Light that guides
us, if we but only
trust...
In
person, the print is crystal clear with
vibrant colour. The copy below gives you an
idea of its beauty, but will dissuade
scalpers from downloading as an image and
violating copyright.
Only
Trust....
