Week 34 - Distress [Rebekah]

Distress.

When you're sailing on the sea and the clouds suddenly fly in and the waves roll high.

Stranded on the water.

Can't see land- getting too dark. Don't know where where you are.

And there's nowhere to go,

nowhere to escape the storm.

That's distress, that sickening, heavy feeling in your stomach when you're in trouble and can't do anything to save yourself.

But then you see the lighthouse.

And it leads you home.

Week 33 - Comfort [Rebekah]

Comfort is something that is smooth and calm; something that causes an angry heart to be quiet.

It is a warm cup of tea, the soft music of a violin.

Week 32 - Rugged [Rebekah]

Rugged is a lifestyle filled with hard work and perseverance. It's scuffed and chipped fingernails, rusted red metal, frayed rope, cobwebs, dirty shoes.

Week 31 - Wind [Jeannette]

Who Has Seen the Wind?

By Christina Rossetti
 

Who has seen the wind?

Neither I nor you:

But when the leaves hang trembling,

The wind is passing through.

Who has seen the wind?

Neither you nor I:

But when the trees bow down their heads,

The wind is passing by.
