Winding Roads

   I Love a road that twists and turns, a road that winds about-down the vales and up the hillsides, threading in and out... A road that holds some new surprise with every step you stray: a road with unexpected corners all along the way.

   Life's a road of many turnings where it's hard to guess-what is waiting round the corner, pain or happiness-frowning mountains dark with cloud or valleys of delight- shadows falling round the path, or sunshine warm and bright.

   Need we fear for what there be waiting round the bend- knowing that the love of God goes with us to the end? And though the twilight deepens as the sunset way we roam- the last turn is the best of all because it takes us home. ~ Patience Strong
