Right before Christmas — So much Sun

Was able to ride my bike on the greenway today along our river. It was cold but the sun was out, and I took a few shots of the sun on the water. It was full of bright, white sparkles. Really, really pretty for a December day here in the south. I hope all of you can get out and enjoy your weather wherever you live. Have a God blessed day!!

Dry Season

Dry Season

Everyone goes through
A Dry Season
Feeling without a reason
Getting drier, drier
Stress, sorrow, pain
Roaring, growing
Higher, higher

Emotions, the body
Like dry, dead leaves
Dry, dead limbs
Will this dry season
Ever, ever end?
In the middle of the dark
No answer comes
Perhaps in this
Season only is
Found true faith
In Heaven’s Only Son

In the middle of shallow waters
Full of only sludge
Life’s sharp, hard rocks
Oh, for a moment
Please, my next words
Do not me begrudge

Reach up for Christ!!

Always is found His glorious light
In the middle of our darkest,
Most wicked earthly fight
He will provide always
Sunlit, crystal shining waters
His provisions reach deeper
Every heartbeat
Exceeding all other worldly offers

You will bloom again
Christ will help you
Grow in faith through this
Dry season
No matter, the pain,
The strong wind blowing
This dry breeze in
Never will He leave you,
Never will He forsake you
God’s love is still there
Heaven still deeply, deeply cares!

Clear Waters

It is getting into the drier part of the summer so the water in the river is down lower than usual, still just as pretty just more shallow. Here’s a poem and have a blessed day!

Clear Waters

Clear waters flow
Revealing for all to know
What lies beneath their surface
Every swimming creature, pebble 
Even every hard stone
To everyone is shown
Thru its moving, reflective face

Christ’s heart is the same
To us, He longs, desires
To reveal His Royal Name
His innermost being
But we must be willing
To accept the truth
Waiting to be seen

So take the time to look
Inside His written book
Those scriptures that reveal
His heart, about us how
He truly feels
Beneath the surface
of His Living Waters
Flows the glory of your own life!

Greenway Walk – The Hunter

I got to see a Great Blue Heron up close this morning on the greenway while it was hunting for food. They eat fish and small frogs. Usually, they stand frozen in one spot, and you don’t get to see them move around. Today, he was all over the creek looking for food. Enjoy and may God bless your day!
