I closed my eyes,
listened to the music,
and knew it came from You!
My drab day brightened
as the gray mist washed away
by the waves of color
drifted about my heart and soul.
Anxiety was quickly forgotten.
Hope’s brightness easily replaced it
like a love song . . .
while violyn kissed piano
and my soul drifted joyfully
in a dance that will never end.

Got to share this quote because the truth in it must be shared.
– Tracy Chapman –
Speaking plainly, I must say that if you’ve not seen angels, you are just now looking closely enough. The Lord sends them to each of us all the time. Trust and believe. You are loved.

My hope is rising
just as is the glowing sun
kissed by morning dew

Do not accept information from the WRONG source! This is a blessed time of year as we prepare for the Lord’s birth, but it can be painful and stressful as well. Why? To name a few:
The evil one always seeks to steal our joy and he does it well! PLEASE do not let him. In Christ, you are loved with a love you can NEVER LOSE! BELIEVE! It is the best gift ever and one you cannot lose!

Too often I focus on the fallen leaves
Scattered on my weed covered bit of earth.
Signs of death and decay?
Perhaps, and yet . . .
A rake,
A hoe,
A change of focus,
And new buds and blossoms appear . . .
Or perhaps they lay in wait all along.
Beyond the shadows shines the blazing sun!

Ah,
that delicious moment
when you don’t know how it’ll happen
and have no idea how things will play out
as you realize you can do nothing about it
yet
you know who does
and your soul is filled with peace!

Just when you feel it all slipping away
and you are ready to let go,
you truly are on the very cusp of something GRAND!
Hold on, breathe deeply, keep praying, believe!
