Gift of God

I thought I had a love,precious,rare,and sweet,that I couldn't live without—a love that would grow throughout time.

The lantern

A lantern hangs to mark the way,It's lit, but shows no light.
Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Train car crammed with commuters,fresh from showers and toothbrushes,traveling to desktops, phones, and one more dayof trying to understand their bosses' needs—

In my Father's time

Anxious,prayingdestitutein spirit,begging formy Father's time,unable to findreason or rhymewhy the answerstook forever.

Acceptance

AcceptingThe simplicity of ChristIs hard to do.

Revolution, revelation

Three reminder thoughts for every day,Written on my bathroom mirror.

Snow dawn

Tucked to bed, and snuggled down with holy hope,The farm in darkness sleeps, to dream the coming of the snow,Which, obliging, as if in answer to a prayer,Throughout the night falls floating in celestial silence,The accumulated mercy of so many feathery blessings down,Until the grace of Heaven's vast transforming crownRests lightly as a comforter upon the eager soul of that receptive ground.

Safe as a psalm
