“Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” | POEM of the week
Photo Credit: Elizabeth Lawson elizabethwinpennylawson.com Used by permission Poet: Robert Frost Year written: 1922 Year published: 1923 Whose woods these are I think I know. His house is in the village though; He will not see me stopping here To watch his woods fill up with snow. My little horse must think it queer To stop without a farmhouse near Between the woods and frozen lake The darkest evening of the year. He gives his harness bells a shake To ask if there is some mistake. The only other sound’s the sweep Of easy wind and downy flake. The woods are lovely, dark and deep, But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep. " He giveth snow like wool " Psalm 147:16 KJV
“Glory (Let There Be Peace)” | SONG of the week
Artist: Matt Maher Year: 2016 One star burns in the darkness, Shines with the promise—Emmanuel. One child born in the stillness, Living within us—Emmanuel. We're singing, "Glory, glory!

Singing, "Glory, glory! Let there be peace. Let it start in me. Let there be peace. Let it start in me." "let the peace of God rule in your hearts"
