For a Growing Faith


I ran across Tennyson's In Memoriam a little while ago...and these verses from the first poem touched my heart:

    Our little systems have their day;
    They have their day and cease to be:
    They are but broken lights of thee,
    And thou, O Lord, art more than they.

    We have but faith: we cannot know;
    For knowledge is of things we see;
    And yet we trust it comes from thee,
    A beam in darkness: let it grow.

If you feel so led, you can find the entire poem online at http://tennysonpoetry.home.att.net/0.htm. I hope you're having a wonderful Sunday! :) k
