Ascent - Helping Each Other

GRACE for GRACE

When I stretch down

to raise another,

I sense

Thy touch –

it lifts me

Higher.

And soul-strength

That ebbed

From me,

floods back –

a surge

of Light

from Thee.

Great joy and learning comes from helping others 

as we journey back to Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ.

"... mourn with those that mourn; yea, and comfort those that stand in need of comfort, and to stand as witnesses of God at all times and in all things, and in all places that ye may be in, ...  Mosiah 18: 9

The image Ascent by David Linn wonderfully illustrates this poem

We saw this picture years ago in the Museum of Church History and Art in Salt Lake City. We bought poster print for ourselves. Not long after we found the poem "Grace for Grace" and thought it fit well with the picture.
