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.

He is, my friends. He is totally crazy about each one of us. What prompted me to say this, I must admit, is that I got an email which was intended to sell me a product and that was the subject line. I admit, I wasn’t in a position to make a purchase financially so I deleted the ad, but I was still blessed by the reminder. He uses everything for out good – even marketing slogans. That being said, I admit that some days the hurdles in my life seem like mountains I’m neither able to get over or around. Do you have days like that? Happily, my faith and His love restore me and so this doesn’t become a permanent and fatal thing . . . so, as I write this I admit I’ve just had a procedure done to help heal an eye problem and am about to rest my eye but I saw a quote I really had to share and so I give you a bit of wisdom from Emerson:
We know that with God all things are possible, but this quote says it in such a visible way. Sometimes I feel like a small acorn . . . that, however, does not have to be a drawback. The Lord has a purpose for each of us and we only have to let go and let Him. Blessings, y’all.

Ask, and it will be given to you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives; and he who seeks, finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened. (Matthew 7:7-8)
