FORWARD MARCH! <\/p>\n

12-26-2018<\/p>\n

Yet another year has passed by,
\nWe did our best for God we hope,
\nWe had victories and trials too,
\nBut by God’s Grace we did cope.<\/p>\n

His Word was shared far and wide,
\nFor those folks who have an ear,
\nHis sheep were fed milk and meat,
\nMay they lamb in the coming year.<\/p>\n

Now it’s time to put past behind,
\nAnd look forward to what’s ahead,
\nTrusting in God to light our way,
\nSurely we have nothing to dread.<\/p>\n

He will provide our every need,
\nJust as He did in this year past,
\nSo march forward full of faith,
\nAnd do whatever God may ask.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
