I can wait
For I am eternity
Waiting for your desire
To spend all of it with Me
Patience is a gift
And I cannot give to you
What is not already all of Me
Open your heart
And your eyes will see
A glimpse of all I have in store for thee
Be prepared to receive My love
In measure so immeasurable
It must overflow to burst upon a hungry, wanting, waiting world
As my messenger you receive
The gift of being my ambassador
You may not see your reward today but do not be forlorn
For hope is ministered through my angels’ hands to feed your soul, to keep you strong
Remember I am faithful
And I am always with you
Waiting, wanting, loving you

No matter what the inner voices have said
Whether damning words of fault and dread
The truth of the precious unreplaceableness of you and me
Is softly, sweetly, swiftly, in a time of need
Spoken in a whisper
Our Creator’s emissary
A Spirit filled tsunami
Guardian angel, Holy Spirit, Word of God, Christ on High
Have my heart drown out the lies
With Your all consuming powerful ever present love
How beautiful, astounding, more wonderfully amazing could it be
That loving Spirit living inside of you and me
Dispelling all we fear
The promise of life to come
The battle won
If only I could see beyond what is imagined
Heaven in its glorious splendor for all eternity
How minuscule, how incidental all else becomes
When You, oh God, and we are One

It won’t be long before again the seasons change
From golds and reds and faint and fading greens
I pray as well with faith and hope for change
That is evident, and always ever better

Oh God, why do I stray
When I know You always know the way
Leading to peace, and joy, and life
The source of strength for challenges unknown
The days of infancy are frail and vulnerable
And cannot be made alone
Now grown am I and need You still
And desire You even more
Knowing that without You near
I am still so frail and vulnerable

When I let go will you be there
When I lean in far enough to fall
Will you be there to lift me when I call
You who made us all, tethered to the earth
Except for prayers that no know bounds
And never go unheard
On wings of Angels, our plea filled words
Are carried and known before they are even uttered

May the time I spend in wondering be of how great, oh God, You are
And not in endless worry, or in want of what does not feed the soul
But instead I pray to draw near to You in love, and love more deeply still
To practice love of self and others
And to positively believe
That all together, all will be, for the good of a grander plan

This image of Provincetown Harbor is one of my favorites. Taken just after sunrise on a not too long ago, jeweled September morning — Apropos for this Thanksgiving Day; the place where the Pilgrims first landed. Provincetown has been an inspiration to me and countless others all those years since the Mayflower made its way to its shore. There is an engraved plaque in the woodland near Pilgrim Heights that stands next to a babbling brook to mark the spot where the first settlers at last, finally found fresh drinking water. The plaque reads “…. And they were heartily glad” — The scene I picture is these ragged travel worn settlers on their knees refreshed and renewed by their life-giving drink and saying in their heartily glad words…Thank you God! 😉
My prayer of thanks for this day:
Lord You refresh my faith
And make me new, day by day
Each day different than the next
Thank you that You are here to lean upon
A place of endless rest
Oh why do I waver so
And worry endlessly
When you, at the right time, answer my prayers constantly
Refashioning my doubt and fears
To become tools to help another
I see this all so clear in hindsight
So I thank you God for your grace
You who are here and now, and promise life forever
You whose hand has formed me
First from earth’s soil, to be born in body and soul
Your miracles and love are never ending
And You remain a constant source of strength
Like rushing mountain water falling
You soothe my soul in darkened days of wavering faith
Preparing me to be born yet again like a new sun rising
Feeding me with hope anew
