Affirmation

“I must confess that I think it a most right and excellent thing that you and I should rejoice in the natural creation of God.” — Charles Spurgeon Just be in a moment with no agenda, no must-do list, no conjecturing or rehashing of the day’s events, still, attuned, recognizing life in the beating ofContinue reading “Affirmation”

Faces

The deep dimple in the chin, the curve of a lip, the dark lashes that offset the eyes, the angle of a nose and cheekbones — it is remarkable how a few variations make for so many individual faces, that and an ineffable quality that each soul adds — faces are simply a marvelous workContinue reading “Faces”

Luminous

I consider the moon, the gray moon luminous, the yellow moon joyous, the full moon voluminous, the blue moon harmonious, each phase full of expectations that this beautiful creation offers poetry in the most wondrous ways. The moon is a miracle, a reminder of a God of imagination, a renderer of art, a passionateContinue reading “Luminous”

A Welcome Surrender

I turned and saw this tree sprawled against a clouded sky, a stark contrast of autumnal browns against the vibrant blue and white — when I let myself really see the beauty in this world, each moment becomes vital and humbling, the leaves in the final stage before falling, re-turning into the soil, the sunContinue reading “A Welcome Surrender”

Glory be to our God,Continue reading “A Thanksgiving Psalm”

Thanks

“Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness, And for His wonderful works to the children of men!” — Psalm 107:31, NKJV A gratitude must begin with a humility in recognition of the Giver of the gifts, the Provider of our needs. How does that thanksgiving manifest? In words, prayers, actsContinue reading “Thanks”

This Beauty

O Lord, what a variety of things you have made! In wisdom you have made them all. The earth is full of your creatures. —Psalm 104:24 There were only a few moments to wander in the little garden, that place of solace that gives me so much, my place to remember creation and the Creator. TheContinue reading “This Beauty”

The Skins of Trees

That is why I can never stop praising you; I declare your glory all day long. And now, in my old age, don’t set me aside. Don’t abandon me when my strength is failing. — Psalm 71: 8-9 Layers of bark, broken, cracked like skin, aged by heat and wind. These trees have lived long,Continue reading “The Skins of Trees”

Without Breath

Let the fields and their crops burst out with joy! Let the trees of the forest sing for joy… — Psalm 96:12, NLT Would you weep with me if we imagined a world with no trees? No arching branches, no swaying canopies, no stately crowns, no fruit-laden boughs no music through leaves, no root-tilled ground, Continue reading “Without Breath”
