Shadows Pass

Shadows pass
For both the good and ill
May they last
According to God's will

Hopefully, the shadows are not caused by people passing darkly by but by trials that teach and strengthen.

I love this quote by Frederick Buechner: found at

The life I touch for good or ill 

will touch another life, 

and that in turn another, 

until who knows where 

the trembling stops 

or in what far place 

my touch will be felt.
