Reigning
All life is poetry!
If we let it,
Sad becomes glad
And glad releases
Heaven’s tears of endless joy!

September 5, 2018The sky is so large
Yet we often see just clouds
He gave so much more

WEATHER OR NOT!
September 3, 2018AT ALL TIMES GIVE THANKS
Smiling,
The cloud rained down.
The droplets kissed the dry land.
Refreshed and blessed,
The blades of grass looked heavenward
And the sun began to shine.

BE A BELIEVER!
August 26, 2018We are human! We fall short, we grow impatient, we begin to consider “what if . . .” Take it to the Lordand be washed in His grace and know His amazing love!
Hope NOT Misspent
The clouds lingered long.
Will the light never return?
The dampness of my tears,
The ache in my limbs,
The longing for something more . . .
All forgotten in an instant
As my gaze found the sun!

Soul Food
August 14, 2018My mind can only know so much.
It is only when my soul is fed
that my life is forever changed.

. . . And the sheep know His voice!
August 3, 2018The Lord spoke to my soul!
He often lovingly whispers, but this time He called out victoriously to my soul and this was His message which I must share!
SHINE
Get up and dance!
Do you not hear the glad sound?
Have you not seen the sun?
Is the splendor of this day lost to you?
Place your feet on the floor!
Lift your hands!
As the trumpet sounds
Sail across the floor in harmony with me!
Dance, clap, sing, share!
I am yours!
You are mine!
Is this not cause to celebrate?
SHINE!

REIGN ON ME
August 2, 2018Here am I
Kneeling by my window
Mesmerized
By the gently falling rain.
Forgotten thoughts of troubles
Have slipped away
As though washed clean
by the droplets of
what surely must be living water.
Their delicate music sooths my soul
As tiny diamonds fall
Then leap into the air again
Reflecting rays of the hidden sun . . .
Never far away.
My soul rests,
Strengthened and refreshed
And ready for the challenges
Of a new day.
