psalm 26

psalm 26

rejoice for the sun rises

and here am I while many

did not awake to see this day

broken wide open in glory

the safety of Your promises

sheltering me, driving me

comforting me, filling me 

with courage to shout 

Your name, proclaim 

Your majesty

and walk again 

into the newness 

of life in The Light

First snow...

As night crept in
the first snow fell lightly on this prairie land
In sleep we rested warm
Rick and I in our down covered bed
Faith safe and dry in her basement room
cats and kittens snuggled in straw
the barn a welcome shelter

One by one they appear
to taste, smell and feel
cold white wetness

I turn up the heat
wrapped in fleece
knowing that change is yet again here
rejoicing in the One Who never changes.


 

Extreme

January cold presses in
warnings abound
wind chills are extreme they say

so I snuggle in
resting under mighty wings
the warmth of the One
Who exemplifies
extreme

extreme mercy
extreme grace
extreme love

Please join me in prayer for those who do not have shelter tonight and for those who do not know that He Is always there to care for them.

You've always given me breathing room, a place to get away from it all, A lifetime pass to your safe-house, an open invitation as your guest.  Psalm 61:3 The Message
