Today’s word is “vicissitudes” ... successive, alternating, or changing phases or conditions, as of life or fortune; ups and downs. (Dictionary.com)
Shield
Through every vicissitude,
They persisted and they thrived.
They lived their lives in truth and trust,
And many of them died.
Trouble made them stronger,
Persecution made them bold,
Throughout all the ages,
The amazing story has been told.
How do you stop this gospel,
Which grows with every pain?
It grows and blossoms always,
Like a flower after rain.
