when winter’s cold
has gotten old,
the promise of spring
and the new life it brings.

Pondering
Just Maybe
just maybe, there was something i missed
as a child, caught between happy moments
and sometimes being scared
just maybe, i longed for someone
to take notice, and to interact with me
and not be so busy
maybe, the early years
would have been different
just maybe..

Heart Matters
words like honey
oh so sweet
but for some reason
not coming from some tweets
i am not a twitter bird
but, i do know
that wise and kind words
really can flow..
and when they do
it will surely show..

For although they knew God, they neither glorified Him as God nor gave thanks to Him, but they became futile in their thinking and darkened in their foolish hearts..
Romans 1:21
Disturbing
captive thoughts
set them free
if they don’t make you feel better
they must flee
only occupiers of space
that control your mind
makes you think
that all is fine
let the light of truth come in
and that’s when true freedom will begin..

Last night, before I went to bed, I read about some concerns in our community, regarding those, that have been seen abusing their dog in public. It was disturbing! I hate to think that anyone is abused, man, woman, child, baby, animal. From what I read it seemed that very little can be done when seeing someone kick their dog. What can be done? I would like the truth to this, please…Thank you!
The Hiding Place
My feather’s were ruffled this morning when I heard about a young woman,that got beat up, while riding a train in Chicago..My heart broke for her as she described the experience and expressed her disappointment that no one came to her rescue. The month of April is recognized as Child Abuse Prevention month. Each time I scan the land of internet, I read about atrocities committed against young children. There is a song that says, you are my hiding place, you always fill my heart with songs of deliverance, whenever I am afraid, I will trust in you. We all need a hiding place. A place of safety, a place of peace, a place to be still and refuel. My sister told me the other day, that I can’t save the world, and I know that, but I know the one that knows the number of hairs on our heads . Almighty God cares about every single human being on earth.He sees the tears that stream down the faces of each child, teen and adult.He sees…He hears the cry of our hearts, He hears the pain…There is nothing unnoticed.
He gives, He loves, He cares for you..As the world turns, it would be very easy to lose faith in mankind, but deep in my heart I know that there are good Samaritan’s on planet earth. Maybe they are far and few apart, but there are unsung heroes, that we never hear about…Where is your hiding place?
He who dwells in the secret place of the Most high, shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
Psalm 91:1
A Walk in the Park
Nothing like a walk to clear the mind..
make each day count
in some little way
leave yesterday behind
for this is a new day
don’t dwell on the negatives
for it won’t feed your soul
only zap you of energy
and down you will go
so look up today
from where your help comes
and be filled with the love
and the peace of the Son..

I Wish
I wish for that empty place of your
heart…
to be filled with the sweetness of knowing
that you are capable…
that you are
strong…
that as a flower among
many…
there is only one like
you…
unique and
beautiful…
The Slow Lane
slow down
what’s your hurry?
let the squirrels
be the ones to run
and scurry…
take a deep breath
and look at the sky
look all around
and you will know why…
fast is not always
the way to go
life might be better
if you take it slow…
Impressions
impressions
do we leave
behind
nothing is hidden
when we’ve been unkind
we all leave our mark
from words unsaid
or maybe too many
and in that case we may dread
damage control
is often hard
and to admit
that
it’s heart
that matters
not the money
and prestige…
what impressions will you leave?
