When faced with life's challenges,
it is Important to Remember
that although Daniel was saved from the lions,
he was not saved from the Lion's Den.

Sunday Devotional - New Life


Red to White
by Patricia A Pitterle

Snow white, 
glistening, gleaming, floating, fleeting
softly falling down.
Covering the world 
In a blanket of freezing whiteness.
All traces of the world as we know it
brushed away
In a coat of sparkling white.

Each time I see a snowfall
I stop to pause 
and remember
How we have been promised
that our sins
though red as scarlet
can be changed 
to be white as snow

A Father sent a Son
to be the way
that would bring us safely home.
He came to be the sacrifice
And with His blood
All traces of worldly scarlet

bathed away
In a coat of sparkling love

  1. Love this poem...very nice. I named my daughter Scarlett...and I remind her that this is the color that Christ will be wearing when he returns to the earth! Now she likes to remind me of that fact!
