J. Janda
Jesus came, although the doors were locked, and said to Thomas,
“Put your finger here and see my hands,
and bring your hand and put it into my side,
and do not be unbelieving, but believe.”
(Gospel)
You get too
discouraged
you forget
you are learning
to walk
of course
you
fall down
give
yourself
time
I am patient
with you
be more patient
with yourself
I have something
very special
in mind for you
something
only
you can do
don’t give up
