Seeking to spend time with You with pen in hand
To connect, to listen, with hope to be inspired
The phone interrupts our discourse
Or so I thought
Hesitation gave way as I answered
To find that this untimely interruption
Was Your calling that I was longing
For the greatest gift of good purpose
Is our usefulness to another
Giving time of self bears the riches of a crown of jewels
My soul is lifted and refreshed by the humble response of the caller who is blest
And I imagine angel scribes in heaven
Making note of our connectedness and kindliness
As they too marvel at the wonder of Your timing

Lord, I pray before I dress
To consider all that you have blest
Put my thoughts to test
That in You all reliance rests
Consider this
And do not miss
What needs to be your daily quest
As far as the east is from the west
Is the extent of My love growing greater never less
On this truth You can surely rest
I have endowed you with my very breath
Given you a heart that beats
Ability with hands and feet
Knowledge of me when I speak
Welcome me as you would the morning sun
Trusting that the best is yet to come
Upon this path is born a new day bright
Where in your heart there glows a light
You call it love, I call it might
From which comes all that is good in life
Make this your engine’s driving force
Our hearts united on this daily course

I pray here now to declare
Your presence ever vibrant here
To speak aloud Your glories
In the eyes that meet You in the mirror of Your creation
To not absorb my self with self
But rather selflessly release
Free will to become one with Yours
Harness thoughts that seek an unknown future
Speed the track from past to present
Memories that shackle when dwelt upon too long
Or living in an impossible tomorrow
In an air that only You can breathe
Bring me back to this moment
Where I can be of love and service to live in full expression
Like a flower blooming on the vine
Never minding fate of wilting, falling
Back to earth then heavenward where the journey never ends
While still unfurling petals grow to magnify its beauty
With nature all surrounding giving homage to You near

It has been a long, good day
Filled with work and little play
As most know play to be
But for me today has been
A day of productivity
Mixed with fun because of work I love
And the added satisfaction of Petunia near at hand
All day long I looked forward to this moment here and now
To sit, relax, and ponder
Letting thoughts listlessly wander
To put aside responsibility
But I pray dear God, no matter what
To include You in my busy-ness, in listlessness, in thought, and word, and deed
And keep you closer still, as close as breath could be

These would be
If I could choose
The birthday candles
I would choose
To celebrate this day
Bright as snow
Feathers woven from white rose petals
God’s gifts for every moment
Thank you Father-Mother, our Creator
That I’ve been born
And born again to celebrate
Birthdays here and now and one day soon in heaven

An infant wiggly wide-eyed wanderer
Innocence in a world of wonder
Knowing only love and momma kisses
Growing in my body
Conversely shrinking in my soul
When momma kisses were no more
Through self-inflicted tragedies and flirtations with life’s end
The turn around was just beyond the bend
When an unexpected occurrence in my heart began
Jesus was introduced as my Savior and my friend
Astounded by this newfound love
A gift from God our Father-Mother from above
How to live expecting the miracle each new day can bring
To never again be alone
To live to love
Each day getting closer … while I’m growing home

I’ll keep my eye on You
To distract me from a world that’s torn apart
For my world with You
Is whole and filled with peace
When I keep my eye on you
We are not far from forever
We are living here and now each day for the better
While my heart runs its race with quickened pace to find its way to You
I think of living now as Our forever
Coincidence, a nod from You
Vibratory sunset hues
An angel in disguise
Shows me You are near
Not just now but always and forever
