Mountain Peaks and Valleys Deep
The Bible tells us the earth moans and groans for the coming of the Lord. But, it also praises God. In fact, if we don’t do the praising, the rocks will cry out for us. Do we live our thanksgiving or do we live our burdens?
The valley low knows your need
it feels your pains dark and deep
and mountain peaks hear your praise
when your spirit soars on its wings
I Don’t Care
While the title of this poem doesn’t seem to speak “thanksgiving” or even happiness, I hope it will encourage your heart. Sometimes we have to get through the hard words, to get to the thankful words.
I don’t care if the sky is blue
if I am not with you
I don’t care if the grass is green
without you here next to me.
I don’t care if the flowers bloomed
I don’t care if the moon is full
I don’t care much about anything
if I can’t share it with you.
Sunrise, Sunset
The sunset tonight was gorgeous! I had to run outside and take pictures. His artwork never ceases to amaze me and make me smile. Does it you too?
When the day is long
you feel all alone
like there’s no one
who cares about you,
take a quick breath
go outside and rest . . .
Good & Perfect Gifts
Today a ladybug was hitching a ride on my car and I got to thinking about different wonderful things God gives us each and every day. And every gift from God is a perfect gift.
Ladybugs and bumblebees
falling leaves and Christmas trees
swaying grasses, chilly breeze
thank you Lord, for all of these.
Spaces and Graces
Oftentimes we do not keep space in our lives for God’s grace to filter through. We keep our distance, holding onto our burdens instead of faith.
Nothing’s more comforting
than a mind at peace
a soul at rest
space in the heart
nested in thankfulness.
When You Feel Invisible
Did you know God knows you and loves you and even calls you by name? Even when you feel alone and invisible. Maybe today we all need to be reminded He is always with us, and He loves us no matter where we are or what we are doing.
“Fear not, for I have redeemed you;
I have called you by your name;
You are Mine.
Isaiah 43:1
A Thanksgiving Blessing
Today’s poem is about the simplicity of Thanksgiving. Learning to rest in God and to be thankful during even the toughest times of life.
May He bless you this day
in the stillness of your hands
and the quietness of your feet
through the pondering of life
in its simplicity.
Take Courage ~ the story of a little leaf
30 Days of Thanksgiving Poems, Day 1 is a short story about a little leaf needing courage to let go. I hope you enjoy reading this poem God gave me from my morning devotion time in Joshua 1:1-9.
Take Courage ~ the story of a little leaf
I clung to my branch as tight as I could
afraid to let go, unsteady and unsure
watching all of my friends
as in bravery they released their hold
flew on the wind, landing safely and sound.
Be Thou My Vision
Be our vision Lord.
As we finish this week and begin another, calm our minds and hearts. Lighten the loads and burdens we carry. Shower us with the rays of Your light and bring us to a place of peace.
May Your word guide us and keep us, until we are safely home with You.
