Disrobe me Lord I pray
Of tempting temporal pacifications
That I might see with Holy Spirit eyes
And utilize and multiply the gifts of Your design
Make straight the path that leads to You and wide the portal of this heart where hidden treasures lie
Plant my feet and still my heart
And cause my soul to seek
With confidence so centered
To capture and contain all that freely comes from Thee
With rain from heaven soak me with your faith and grace
Always prepared to meet You face to face
Sanctify this temple home to be Your Holy place
Project upon my mind a glimpse of heaven’s glory
Let your thunder roll and lighting shake
Out the dark and dreary dread of night
Make patience work her fruitful task
Growing faith so great to cause the sun to wake
In a blaze of brilliant golden streaks
Where darkness has no place to seek
Turn hearts and minds to follow
On the path that you have promised
With hope to foster faith
In the confidence of Christ
To acknowledge You are here
Each breath and pulse in rhythm
With the ebb and flow of tides
Every wave that touches shore
Speaks in ocean’s tongue
Counting endless blessings

Aware you’ve drawn to me your sole attention
I freeze in wonder where to turn
Readying to swiftly spring to speedy flight
Then as usual in calm composure you casually stroll away
You see my likes most every day
But how often do you take the time
To contemplate my being
Or comprehend the miracle that we are all connected
Not by Easter or sadly not by stew
But rather that the same Creator
Loves as much both me and you

While cranking up the patio umbrella
Preparing for a brand new day
I found an unexpected friend was waiting there
Oftentimes her message represents
It’s time to take a leap
As was the case when first discovered
For that’s exactly what I did
She posed just long enough for us to get acquainted
Reminding me that I am not alone
And with God’s help we are all equipped
To always find our way
An umbrella for shelter
The ability to forage for our needs and even our desires
To be appreciated by another
And always to be ready
To take a leap of faith

Come to know and to expect the Spirit working in quiet wondrous ways
For angels are always in your presence
Be alert and compassionate seeking how to please
You are precious and valued beyond your imagining and in My constant
loving sight
There is no need to be guarded with Me
For what you try to conceal will only try to steal your soul
My love cannot be borrowed or purchased
It is a free will offering
To be received and returned willingly
By faith you are healed
By grace you live
By mercy you are forgiven
And the scars of your history are healed
By the forgiveness you allow
Broken hearts give sight to the sufferer
For the cost of true compassion is dear
See Me … for I am always here
In seabirds, sunsets, white capped waves
And in the mirror of your self examination

What a day!
My mom says I’ll be as big as her someday
But for now I’ll take the shadow she provides
And all that she is teaching
What to avoid and whom to trust
To learn to survive and live to thrive

Sometimes it’s a vision … perhaps just a glimpse
Or having our senses incited by a whiff
Instilling what our future holds
Depends so much upon the world that we let in
Steeped in choices percolating new ideas
Stirs us deeply in our souls
To share with one another all the good that we behold

You can float — And you can fly
And even walk if the ground is dry
Your very presence offers me
Reminders of endless possibilities
