Prayer

September 7, 2010 by Guest Author 1 Comment

Children suffer, families tumble,
Guns explode, buildings crumble.
Where were you, many ask,
When children died in that flash.
They blamed you then for that attack
Though it was us who turned our backs.
Your wing we left–took off on our own,
We didn’t care. If only we’d known.
Your guidance and light we needed then,
Now and forever, until the end.
Please God forgive us our straying hearts.
Lead us back to your light, with a clean start.
Guide us though these times of war,
Bless those who fight, bring them home once more.

    A good poem for remembering tomorrow’s tragic September 11th.

Welcome to Come Fill Your Cup!

CFYC About Image Welcome! We are so glad you stopped by. Come Fill Your Cup is a group of Christian ladies dedicated to equipping women for study and service. We know you are busy and that life’s hectic pace pulls you in so many directions, but you can’t truly be the woman God desires unless you take time to fill your own cup…not with spa days (though we love a good spa!) or the latest novel…but with God’s Holy Word. We want to help you with that! Our goal is to reach you in the midst of your busy day and give you encouragement, education, and fellowship as you strive to live the life God has laid before you. Our prayer is that we can help fill your cup so that you, in turn, can overflow to all those around you. So, as we like to say…come fill your cup, and let it overflow!
