The Gate of the Year,” a poem by Minnie Louise Haskins

"And I said to the man who stood at the gate of the year: “Give me a light that I may tread safely into the unknown.” And he replied: “Go out into the darkness and put your hand into the Hand of God. That shall be to you better than light and safer than a known way.”
So I went forth and, finding the Hand of God, trod gladly into the night. And He led me towards the hills and the breaking of day in the lone East.
So heart be still: What need our little life. Our human life is to know if God has comprehension. In all the dizzy strife of high and low things, God hideth His intention.
God knows. His will is best. The stretch of years which wind ahead, so dim. To our imperfect vision, Are clear to God. Our fears are premature; In Him, All time hath full provision.
Then rest until God moves to lift the veil from our impatient eyes, When, as the sweeter features of life’s stern face we hail, Fair beyond all surmise God’s thought around His creatures our mind shall fill."
Therefore, the right hand of God is a reference to both a place of proximity to God the Father and a position of power above all other powers. (compellingtruth.org)
Isaiah 41:10: "Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."
Heather,
This is great info to share ! I recently had my second bone density test and it had improved from the first one. I trust that it due to the strength training classes I attend with you and my diet !
Hi Heather, excellent information on Bone health. Also, I just finished the 31 day challenge and it was fantastic. Looking forward to the 28 challenge starting tomorrow. Thank you for having all this information and for the great workouts!
Hey, thanks for the info Heather. It actually makes a lot of sense. Haven’t thought about that before. Looks like I’ll be adding a little salt and a little maple syrup!
A great all natural deodorant is made by Little Seed Farm. Honestly, it is the only natural deodorant that seems to actually work for me.
Great information Heather, I’ve been there too and just a side note for those gals (like me) who suffer sensitivities to chemicals, my savior was apple cider vinegar to “kill bacteria” after washing and then I used coconut oil rubbed in the pit area. I also added essential oils of lemongrass or geranium for a scent. The ACV was only as needed sometimes takes a few days to kill all bacteria causing smell and then daily with the coconut oil.
Thanks for sharing
Love this ❤️
