Why is the shepherd running ahead?
Does He not care?
Where are my caring friends?
Again,
nobody wants me!
“My child.
I Am ahead of you preparing the way!”
They quietly discussed His purpose,
though the child wondered.
Hearing and seeing many behind the two,
she asked the Lord
“What are they doing?”
“My child, they are fasting while providing prayer support!”
She knelt at His feet.

Never had a tree so touched my heart.
Acorns, bark, leaves to rake.
It was so ordinary, almost invisible.
Lent’s reminder of my Savior’s love – His blood. . .
Somehow the tree wasn’t just a tree anymore.

We are healed by what we are . . .
what we were made to be.
The preacher must preach,
the singer must make her music,
the writer must write.
Death is in the denial
but life is in the acceptance . . .

Sometimes . . .
You have to listen really closely
To hear the music in the silence.
But, once you hear it,
Your heart will never forget its voice.
