Life Has Carved Her Callouses

Posted on April 28, 2013 by russtowne

I love this message and the way it was so well crafted by Melody! Thank you, Melody, for creating and sharing this with the world.

Meanwhile, Melody Muses...

Life has carved her callouses

upon my tender heart,

my response was toughening

the epidermis part –

so soften me, oh Holy Son,

with springtime’s timely rays,

that roughened edges would not keep

my soul from grasping grace.

  That’s great! You just made my morning! The two of you are a couple of my favorite writers so it’s a real treat to hear that this site may have had a hand in connecting the two of you!
