Earth Light (ePub)

Together, the Terranella family has lived through sorrow and joy, failure and success, chaos and calm, and sin and redemption.


Throughout all of life's seasons, they've learned that God holds them firmly in His loving, powerful hands. He offers strength, guidance, and compassion for all who listen to His voice.


They've learned that the key to happiness is giving gratitude and appreciation to God for His awesome works.


They've learned that loving God provides hope, joy, and peace in life; however, failure and heartache also happen in life. God offers a remedy for failure and heartache. His gifts of grace and redemption can heal a broken heart.


God's powerful hands, His awesome works, and His glorious grace have given the Terranella siblings a reason to honor Him through their poetry:


GOD'S HANDS


My God's hands are full of wonders. They guide me 'round life's foolish blunders.

They catch my arm if I should stumble, then break my fall the times I tumble.

They dust me off and mark the trail that I should follow without fail;

Then His hands hold me, though undeserving. They shape and mold me 'till I am serving.

They lift me up and make me whole, then smooth the wrinkles from my soul.

--Ronald Terranella


AWESOME


"Awesome" is a vibrant word that's overused by far

For a woman's hair color, or for a brand-new car.

But stand beside a turbulent sea beneath a harvest moon,

Or watch a cheetah running, or see a flying loon.

Technology is something else, and all that will ensue,

But I'm reserving "awesome", Lord, for all that's done by You.

--Donald Terranella


GRACE


How can I explain the grace You offer me? As the sand is comforted by the cooling sea,

As the earth is cleansed by the gentle rain, My Faithful Friend, You take me back again.

--Naomi Terranella
