Surrender
What is that glow
which lies beyond the gate?
Two steps away,
it beckons.
Dare I enter?

Tears are like refreshing rain
Restoring the parched land of the soul
And welcoming new life.

WHAT SPARKS YOUR FLAME?
July 3, 2017Fueled By . . .
If
Peace and passion
Do not travel hand in hand
All growth,
Perhaps even life itself
Comes to a halt.

MOST TREASURED GIFT – FAITH
June 26, 2017A distant rumble
cannot darken my delight
in nature’s beauty
By Martha L Shaw – © 2015 Words and Image
When I got my first home, knowing nothing of gardening, I was amazed when the neglected yard suddenly come spring had lilies in bloom! When I relocated some years later filled with hopes and dreams, I also faced many unexpected challenges. I still do. Come spring though, I was again surprised by lilies! I still know nothing about gardening, but I know my Savior’s redeeming love. I saw it that day in the lilies He gave to me! The lilies bloomed again today – an ever living reminder of His love!

BE, THOU, LIKE THE CHILD
June 20, 2017
OH, those meddlesome weeds,
she said.
But to the child
all was beauty!
As the breeze
blew through my soul
I picked a yellow dandelion
and smiled!

And calling to him a child, he put him in the midst of them and said, “Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. (Matthew 18:2-4 ESV)

Thank You Father!
June 17, 2017To an impatient gardener
a slowly blooming seed
is a frustration!
But the Master Gardener
stays very near
and nourishes with food,
encouragement,
and love
and He is filled with joy
when the blossom comes to life!
