Spring Is Here ~

I Love You ~

l love you so much that even if I keep saying it all the time, it will still be less than showing my love for you. It’s not that I love you more, or you love me any less, but what I am saying is that I love you even on all the bad days that have gone by and those yet to come. More than when I get angry with you or ever fight with you. I love you more than anyone who could ever come between us. I know nothing but loving you through the good times and the bad. Through every time and every moment. For all we have and everything we will ever have, I Love You the most .

Every Stars Will Take It Places ~

A bright sunrise will contradict
The heavy fog that weighs you down.
In spite of all the funeral songs,
The birds will make their joyful sounds.
You'll wonder why the Earth still moves.
You'll wonder how you'll carry on.
But you'll be okay on that first day when I'm gone.
Dusk will come with fireflies and whipoorwill and crickets call.
And every star will take it's place
In silv'ry gown and purple shawl
You'll lie down in our big bed
Dread the dark and dread the dawn.
But you'll be alright on that first night when I'm gone.
You will reach for me in vain.
You'll be whispering my name

Pray ~

Yesterday people gathered throughout the day at our church to pray for our nation, churches, families, leaders, and for the elections. During that time a few of us painted to live worship. It was such a sweet, powerful, and precious time. This is my painting. I call it "Esther's Intercession"...inspired by the historical account of Queen Esther interceding on behalf of her people when the evil Haman plotted a devious plan to annihilate the Jews. She fasted, prayed, and risked her life by going before the King, and God responded with deliverance for all her people. I wish it to be an encouragement to you that God is still there to bring hope, solutions and deliverance when we call upon Him no matter the odds. May you be blessed with knowing that He is there for you and He loves you dearly!

Joy ~

Sorrow prepares you for joy. It violently sweeps everything out of your house, so that new joy can find space to enter. It shakes the yellow leaves from the bough of your heart, so that fresh, green leaves can grow in their place. It pulls up the rotten roots, so that new roots hidden beneath have room to grow. Whatever sorrow shakes from your heart, far better things will take their place.

Morning Poem ~

each pond with its blazing lilies
is a prayer heard and answered
lavishly,
every morning,
...

whether or not
you have ever dared to be happy,
whether or not
you have ever dared to pray.
