Testimony of saving faith for Christians only
I 1967 I experienced a conversion of grace. Since then I have daily deepened
this experience by a prayerfull
meditation of the Sacred Scripture, always centering on
Jesus.

About the Poet
I am 79 years of age. For the past nine years I have been retired, after forty years, from the field of alcoholism and drug abuse in New York City.
I am married and we have two grown sons
and two grand-sons.
My life changed through a grace-experience in 1967.
Writing Christian prayers is a particular interest of mine. This came about by a growing awareness of the
spiritual in recovery from addictions.
I choose, intellectually and emotionally, to believe the Triune God of the Sared Scriptures as my Healer.

Chime Of The Day November 29, 2021 Come the Spring Viewed Last 24 Hours: 14 times By Lucia Kiersch Haase Other Poems by Lucia Kiersch Haase View / Post Comments Regarding This Poem   Come the Spring   Across the snowy fields, sky meets land where clouds appear as though they touch the trees; creation here abounds in patient stand before the cold winds change to warming breeze. All nature thrives from roots to surely cope in harshest weather - 'tis the Winter season; but time's horizon whispers subtle hope ordained since God began His plan with reason. Concordance here reflects to surely glimmer how to endure our trials and to trust His Word...each day much brighter - never dimmer for us, created from the earth's own dust by Him, who gifts us with each day, to sing of great eternal glory...come the Spring...     (a Shakespearean sonnet) 2/22/15
