Pondering The Poetic Heart
Pondering the Poetic Heart is a place to guide our spirits into place of contemplative rest. As a poet, I long to encourage you to find hope and healing through the process of reflecting on God, love, life, and all things that capture the spirit through the written word.
In the month of November, I will lead us through a time of thanksgiving through my 30 Days of Thanksgiving Poems. In December we will ring the bells of Christmas. There will also be other times through the year when we will celebrate love, just for fun poetry, and more. I pray this will be a place of loving contentment for all of us.
Leftover Thanks
30 Days of Thanksgiving Poems, Day 22
I’m so sorry Lord, for the times I’ve given you my leftovers.
Instead of starting my day with you, or ending it in prayer
I’ve gone about my life as if I don’t care. ...
Unshrinkable Faith
30 Days of Thanksgiving Poems, Day 21
Oh, for a faith that will not shrink
midst the worries, pains, and fears
the kind of faith that dreams big dreams
praying each day upon bended knees. . .
Those Quiet Sunday Afternoons
30 Days of Thanksgiving, Day 20
I’m so thankful for Sunday afternoon quiet
my favorite time of the week
to ponder Your Word in my heart
Your praises quietly I speak.
Banks of Grace
30 Days of Thanksgiving Poems, Day 19
And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:19
My bank account is empty
funds are running low
but I’m so very grateful
for a God whose love is more...
Goodnight Moments
30 Days of Thanksgiving Poems, Day 18
Evening and morning and at noon
I will pray, and cry aloud,
And He shall hear my voice.
Psalms 55:17
Wintry Gifts
30 Days of Thanksgiving Poems, Day 17
Twinkly lights shine bright
into the darkest nights
giving hope, giving life,
to all who stop to by
take in their cheerful sight.
Simple Things
30 Days of Thanksgiving Poems, Day 16
Sometimes
It's just the little things
Tiniest, simple moments ...
Seeking a Savior
30 Days of Thanksgiving Poems, Day 15
Savior, our Shepherd, lead me today
Guide me, move me, speak to me I pray.
Whisper Your love in the secret-est place
Draw me to You and Your grace I embrace.
Colors of Thanksgiving
30 Days of Thanksgiving Poems, Day 14
Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, And whose hope is the Lord. Jeremiah 17:7
Looking forward
to holiday colors
golds, reds, and evergreen
can’t thank the Lord enough
for the treasures above
and the warmth that
winter’s gifts bring.
