CLARENCE and MARY SPEARS
50th ANNIVERSARY
WINDS OF TIME
The winds of time roll on and another
year has come and gone.
How can it possibly be eleven years
since you left to go home.
How often I think of you and some little
thing you shared with me....
or that I would like to share with you now.
So many times in a moment....I can just
get real lonesome for you.
Sometimes it is like the very troubles
of this earth are rolling over me.
Did you ever feel that way Mom?
I know from your diary that you were
alot more spiritual then people
would have ever guessed.
Time helps heal that horrible
crushing pain of grief
that makes the first year
Feel like a thousand hours a day.
What I miss about you most is your
kindness, honesty, integrity,
your faith in humans
As well as your faith in God.
Your death helped me to reach
for that faith that you held with
such a firm grasp.
A faith that would not fail you day or night
A faith in a God that would not forsake you
when all others of this world were so
insensitive to your pain, your fears
The place were the world forced you to
go even though you least of all the family deserved it.
My one consolation is that one day
We will be together again.
Gods promise is for all who call out his name
..........and I call out for Him.
The winds of time roll on and no one
knows what we will go through.
Winds have a way of changing just
when you get adjusted to their
direction and strength.
Winds have an effect on whatever
comes in their pathway
Winds can bring refreshment and
relief or cause terrible
havoc on what it touches.
Sometimes my life feels much like
the winds of time.
Sometimes gentle, sometimes complete
havoc, sometimes the calm
before the storm.
Whatever the winds of this world
blow in I thank God
that I can call out His name.
I thank God that with all the uncertainty
this old world has to offer
That I can find certainty in Him.
I thank God that when the people of this world
forsake me....He never will.
I thank Him for His love
sometimes sent by others
in a form that surprises them as
well as me.
God is so good to me and I must
grasp that concept that
the people of this world will let me
down, not because they really want to,
but because they are of this
world and are blind to His love
to faith or knowledge of His ways.
Of all the things I have to be thank full
for Mom, I thank you most for the
faith which you shard for all to see
in your times of trouble.
As the winds of time continue to blow in
my days ahead you have given me the one thing
No one can take away......FAITH!
