I Stand Near You My Jesus
I go near you my Jesus!
The night is cold and the
sky is darkened with the
wind of silence.
I go near you my Jesus!
I glimpse at the sight of you
kneeling at a rock that holds
you up!
Your tear drops fall !
Do I dare interrupt you in
your setting?
I see you weeping My Lord!
Your shoulders seem stiffen.
And there is no peace around you!
I go near you my Jesus!
I'm scared to approach you but
I want to join in your suffering!
I bend down and gently place
my hand on your back.
Your agony in the garden is great
and your love pours out to the
world!
Your tears flow down your face
and lands purely on the large
rock!
I stand near you my Jesus!
O how I wish I could bring you
comfort!
Please don't cry my Jesus!
I will wipe your tears and
hold you forever!
I stand near you my Jesus!
You lift your head quietly up
towards heaven and speaking
to our heavenly Father!
In your soft breath you humbly
asked:
"My Father, if it be possible,
let this cup pass from me;
nevertheless, not as I will,
but as you will" Matthew Ch:26
V-39
Your head falls to your knees
and your tears keep flowing!
I get a glimpse of your divine
face ever so breath taking!
I know I must go for I'm
on the outside looking in!
My hands gently leave your
back and your tears of agony
remain!
As I leave you, in all of your
divinity, I turn from
your sight! For this is
the moment with Your Father+
I take your agony in the garden
and place it in my heart and soul
Oh Lord!
I hear you saying "Go to others
in their agony in the garden
listen to them
and stand by their side"
I humbly respond to you My Lord
I will stand near them O Lord+
Show me the way!
Lord, I will always keep you with me
in all of my test and trials.
I will give you Lord to others in
anyway, I can!
I will hold on to you
in all of my days
I stand near you my Jesus!

placing his hand upon Jesus' back.

Cover Us Oh Lord
Cover me Oh Lord
There are moments where
I need a push and a shove
and you are there!
Cover me Oh Lord
I see people helping people
and I am in awe!
I see a man holding a baby
as he navigates through the
store with his children following
behind, pushing the cart!
I'm in awe My Lord!
Cover them Oh Lord!
I see a bus driver helping
a person in a wheelchair
to climb aboard!
It's most inspirational to the world
for they have touched you!
Cover them Oh Lord!
I see a person who have life difficulties
but they press on in their daily tasks!
They are most brilliantly inspiring
to us all!
Cover them Oh Lord!
When we are weak Oh Lord
Show us your compassion
and your kindness!
Give us a soft place to land.
Show us your face of holiness+
Cover us Oh Lord!
When we are emotional in our
settings bring yourself to Us!
Show us you are near!
Cover us Oh Lord!
We sit quietly in church
and we are in prayer to you
Oh Lord!
At times we are beside ourselves
and often feel alone!
Your words in prayer places
a soft blanket before us!
Your songs in praise
remind us we are
together as one in your glory!
You show us yourself as you
are lifted high!
We as your people see your
Glory and Praise before us!
We as your people are in awe
as you are raised above your
holy altar!
For you are the lamb of God
who takes away the sins of the
world! Blessed are they who
are called to the supper of
the lamb. John Ch. 6
Oh Jesus !
Bless your people of faith
Cover us with your unbloody
sacrifice on the altar!
Fill us up in the
richness of your Divine love!
Cover your world Oh Lord
and give us your Holy peace+

A Bricklayer's Hands (poem by William Beaver)
A Bricklayer's Hands.."they say,
As he tries to hide them away
From placing brick by brick,
His fingers have become hard and thick.
He worked each day,
Never home it seems,
But all around could say,
He built his families hopes and dreams.
"A Bricklayer's hands.."he would say,
As he shyly reached out to the baby's face.
We won't remember how he hurt when he knelt.
The stones, the tools, the rough sand.
What we will remember is how good it felt,
To be touched by the Bricklayer's hands.
One more time he will try to hide them away,
But this time, he will hear Jesus say,
"No need to say more, I see the Bricklayer's hands.
Welcome to the Promised Land."
His fingers will hurt no more,
But he will in heaven, still lay brick by brick,
Only not with fingers hard and thick.
He will be using his Bricklayer's hands,
To build us all a place in the Heavenly Land.
By William Beaver who went to our Heavenly
Father's arms+ (My daughter-in-law Hannah Foster's
grandfather)
{He shyly reached out to the baby's face}

My Tears Flowed
On April 2, 2013, I pulled into my driveway and noticed a package sitting on my
front porch. I was so surprised when I opened it; for it was the book I had been
wanting to read about the 1994 genocide in Rwanda Africa.
The young lady that sent it to me was visiting my home during her spring break. I had
just shared my story to her and some of my writings from my journals. I also showed
her the church magazine article about the Rwanda genocide, and I told her I needed to read
that book!
I remember when the book first came out, my sister-in-law mentioned how
good the book was and very sad. I knew the book had something to do with
the genocide that took place in 1994, but I never asked my sister-in-law any
questions about the book. The only knowledge I had of the Rwanda genocide
was what I had viewed on a Christian TV. program in the summer of 1994.
They showed horrific footage of what took place during April to July of 1994.
My first given dream or vision was given to me in the late summer or early fall
of 1994. The given dream was me being placed into Africa; you can find it on
Lori Foster's Story below and underneath 'My Favorites."
Getting back to receiving my given book, I was so eager to read it! My children
were in school and I had some quite time to myself. I took my padded stool
in my kitchen and rest my back against the wall and began to read.
I didn't want to get too comfortable for I knew I had to give my full attention
to this book.
It's as though Blessed Mary was telling me,
to read this book for its something I needed to know."
I was almost halfway through the book, and " My tears flowed!
O' how they fell onto the pages!
I have read this book several times now and my tear stains still remain on the pages.
As I read this book during the two-day time period, I would always glance at
my crucifix hanging in my dining room. It's as though God appreciated me
for taking the time to learn about an important event that took place in my time period.
An event that had jealousy, greed, and envy of others! All these sins escalated into hate and
evil! The Hutu Extremist took their evil plan and did the unthinkable!
I'm thankful for reading the genocide article in my church magazine in 2008. Furthermore, I'm
thankful I shared "My Story" and some of
my writings to the one who sent me my book.
God Bless Rwanda Africa,
Yours in Christ love,
Lori Foster
