GRACE FULL

“I know nothing, except what everyone knows —if there when Grace dances, I should dance.” – W H Auden

A DIFFERENT WREATH

 

We light the candles to prepare

For the tiny babe and King

Yet my heart already sees

The final offering.

Out of the Grey – O Holy Night

PASSION’S PRIZE

 

You speak without words

Yet your message is so clear

And I ride the flame

I SAID YES

 

You were always there for me

Loving,

Guiding,

Protecting me

And yet,

I took you for granted

Until one day.

I looked deep into your eyes

And you looked to my heart

And I gave it to you.

Then,

I was reborn!

Who is your Jesus???  The question was  posed in a novel I am reading and combined with my devotional today and the Lord’s call to my heart, I must consider . . . seems to me Rick Luoni​ asked that once in a sermon in urging us to invite Christ into our lives and if you  know Fr Rick, he’s impossible to ignore on loving Jesus! 

 

The Word tells us “My light shines through you” and that is perhaps the greatest miracle of all!  I know I am weak  and broken yet  Jesus’ Word is Truth and regardless of my mess, Jesus shines through me through NO effort of my own but to say “yes” and give Him my heart.  I urge you to  invite Him in!

 

 

 

In The Beginning

Wee one,

as I look into your eyes

I hunger to see the world through them

as I once did!

I can almost feel

the long forgotten magic!

Fear Not

 

Finely feathered wisdom

Resting on a branch

In a fast-moving world filled with worry,

You know only peace.

The Child

Tiny fingers,

Tiny toes,

Filled with wonders

heaven knows.

Gently sleep my dear one.

You have changed my world.

REAL LOVE

Amen

IN MY GRASP

Sometimes all I can do is grip the cross. It is sufficient. Words are unnecessary. – Martha L Shaw​
