Hope’s opposite is despair
And when we find ourselves admittedly there
Only Faith and Prayer with Gratitude
Can lead us back to where
The Spirit’s light shines bright again

Productive Waiting 2 comments
While I am waiting I will stay as busy as can be
I’ll stay and wait
Or stand and wait
Or walk then run then sit again
And sleep and eat between
Maybe write a book
Or see a picture I can snap
I’ll take a course
Learn something new
But all the while be waiting
I’ll not forget to pray
And remember to acknowledge
That while I wait I’m not alone
And although I cannot live tomorrow
To hold it in my memory
For tomorrow lives somehow within
Of the promise of what’s to come
While I live this day with gratitude busily awaiting

Baptism Requires Getting Wet Leave a comment
In waters deep or shallow
I pray to keep rekindling this truth
To live today and give to You tomorrow
On my own I would drown in a puddle of doubt and sorrow
But with You, my God of all things possible
We can walk on water

Growing Closer to God 2 comments
Oh Lord I Pray
That while I feel as though sometimes confined within the bud
I trust in You with all my heart and incline to you my ear
To listen with faithful waiting
Ever ready for when You call
Without sight of what tomorrow holds
I trust that You are near
And thank You for a glimpse of Your presence here

The Veil is Torn Leave a comment
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

An Open Invitation Leave a comment
Leave your calendar open daily with room aplenty for God to enter in
To find at day’s end your slumber laced with peace filled recollections of the Spirit’s encounters that are undoubtedly uniquely yours

Hello World! 3 comments
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
