EXHILARATION

EXHILARATION

The elderly have it right, slowing down in life. If we all slowed down, our senses would be exhilarated, taking in God’s given beauty.

GRACE

No matter the labyrinth of troubles, God is here, guiding us through the mazes. His mighty Spirit can hold our exhausting burden, lightening the load. Amongst the storm, no matter the turbulence, God’s grace will clutch our hands until it is calm once again.

REACH FOR THE SKY

Obstacles are there to be conquered. Seen are new pathways, doors waiting to open. A journey begins, one where wisdom, courage, understanding, enlightenment, patience and passion for life soak into the soul. The spirit is strong, fearless, eager to encounter the world.

A PRECIOUS BLESSING

A gift from God may be as natural as extending a warm hand to say hello. Sharing this precious blessing among many will spread love, mercy, peace and hope .

A NEW PLEASURE

As routines become habits, the beauty of life falls away from the conscience. Changing one element in a familiar day can let fresh breath enter the soul and sparkling light come to the eyes. Exhilaration will surround the spirit.

GENERATIONS OF TOUCH

 Rituals and traditions let those who have passed stay with us. There is the favorite birthday cake recipe, the traditional holiday dance and the celebratory song. A guitar played holds the hands of wisdom from generations gone by.  Heirlooms are everywhere, touched by love and happiness. Memories told will keep the loved ones living long after we are gone, as the same birthday cake continues to be made, the ingredients still holding plenty of love, laughter and song.

God’s grace is with you today.

TINY SIPS

Top of Form

A cup of tea lets life forget the chaos. Taking tiny sips, the surrounding silence is speaking tranquil words to the soul. The spirit is calm, full of God’s blessings.

A CHANGE IN THE ROUTINE

Change is not what we expect in our routine lives. God is now ready for us to take in a new breath, filling it with new wisdom and spirituality. Embracing the Holy Spirit, there will be a passionate love for God and a deep emotion for the faith only now uncovered because of new discoveries. Feeling invigorated, let it be understood how God is always there to give courage  as transformations are made during all of our journeys.

THE VISIT

Scripture says to us,

“You sweep mortals away,

lasting no longer

than a dream.

They fade like grass that is

renewed in the morning”(Ps 90:5)

When a loved one passes away,

we lose part of our own hearts

and souls. At times, it is hard

to keep going, though we know

God wants us to.. Waking up

to an emptiness does not make

the daily life easy to accept.

Seeking comfort from God

will nourish us. He is there,

showing us that though

our beloved is no longer

in our tangible presence,

there are the sprouts of grass

cropping up where we least expect it,

a gentle breeze felt as we are

out and about,

that resplendent flower seen

leaving us in awe

or a sudden calmness

replacing our anxiety.

Yes, our loved one

has been swept away,

but has come back to us,

visiting for all eternity.

A STORY

Ready to copy my favorite dessert recipe down for a friend, I searched for my bright pink card I had placed on the coffee table. Glancing on the floor, I saw a shred of paper in just that color. The dog had eaten all but a few words, nothing to help me recall the preparations. He got the last taste, I have the memories. As my neighbor taught me in her great wisdom, “Now I have a story to tell.”

THE PRAYER OF SAFETY

While thinking about a youth from the past, I was surprised to see him within moments of my thoughts as I was out and about. Many a year, I had prayed for this young man’s safety. The grin on his face told me how God and the angels were watching over him. In gratitude, I continue my prayers of thanks for saving this precious life.
