Noel

Grim was the world, dark and grey. The moon and stars were fled,The hall was dark,without song or light,The fires were fallen dead.The wind in the trees was like to the sea,And over the mountains’ teeth, a whistled bitter-cold set free. A word, like a sword leapt from its sheath. The Lord of the weatherraised…

Christmas Poetry

On Friday, December 25, 1863, Henry Longfellow—as a 57-year-old widowed father of six children, the oldest of which had been nearly paralyzed as his country fought a war against itself—wrote a poem seeking to capture the dissonance in his own heart and the world he observes around him that Christmas Day. Henry’s most widely read…

Bless you!

Bless your spirit so that you can bless others from a full cup. Speak to your spirit audibly “I bless you __with a God specified identity in Him. You are God’s legitimate child by legal adoption.

Sleepless

My heart is weary in the middle of the night. My restless soul awoke to a vivid dream, and without hesitation, I responded in my flesh, not by His Spirit. Angered, with “why this?” I know my God sees me as His Spirit never departs from me. Fully awake; I seek He who knows, and…

Dream On

God chose to include us into His dream of having a huge family. Our heavenly Father dreamt about being in a relationship with all kinds — for generations. His plan to birth nations full of unique peoples was made manifest through a dream God gave to Abraham. Today, I simply imagined how a candy striped rose…

Plaid Nancy Glad

Adorn me neck in a plaid. Cover me toes in socks, all buckled up in fancy boots. Outfitted appropriate to go in a Scottish style to scoot. All buttoned up for breezes. A brisk wind teases me rosy cheeks. This yarn is for a particular lassy. A proud Scot, named Miss Nancy. Her busy hands…

A Seasons Gush

Rain kissed and sun blessed, summer skedaddled into the West! Fresh winds comes next! Waving hello to Autumn’s breeze, fragrant and magnificent! Silvery droplets that pinged the roof, blown dry with an August gush! There is no hurry, absolutely no rush…hurricane winds may uproot trees and displace people, yet Winter’s frosty wet …..will once again…

Questions

There are mysteries too marvelous to be understood by our mind. Yet our invisible spirit within —is ever ready to give us a fresh glimpse of glory about the very thing that our mind confounds over. How does food digest in our belly and then nourish trillions of cells? How does the seashore hold back…

Snow Capped

Snow capped by God, we look in the mirror and rejoice in our extended years. Our spirit is timeless, and our wrinkles admit how far we’ve traveled. Beauty is indeed found in the eyes of our Father. He looks upon our hearts, not our dimples or dents. We collect the miles with smiles as He…

Winging It

Wing it well with His wind, His breath, His grace, His mercy, His love, His joy, and His strength. Flying high! Under His wings I am safe, fearless, protected, happy, at peace, resting, and His. Each day the birds wake up and sing. They cause us to look up and trust God for all things.…
