Probably most people view February as a very special month because of Valentine’s Day. Not us! February is the anniversary month of Harvest Home, the women’s division of Haven of Rest Ministries. This month we are observing 31 years of ministry to homeless women and women with children. For that reason I want to share something with you.
A young woman staying at our shelter loves to write poetry. She has written several poems with various themes and would like to have them published some day. We are not able to publish them for her but we wanted to do something that will encourage her in cultivating her gift. So we are looking into having them typed and placed in a binder with “Poems by …..,” engraved on the cover of the book.
I thought you might want to read two or three excerpts from her poem entitled “Harvest Home.” I have her permission to share this:
A place that’s full of joy,
and so much more.
A place that’s not just about rules.
A place that even I think is cool.
A place with a Godly touch,
Wish I could meet Mrs. Marjorie
I would tell her “Love you much”
A place that I would
like to call my own.
But it’s just a temporary home.
So I say to each and everyone
I’m glad I found this place,
a place called
Harvest Home !!!
