stretch - word for 2017

last morning of 2016

first cup of coffee

not thinking much

brain hazy

yet the word was clear

sharp, unmistakable

stretch

I trust as I listen

this word will unfold

for now

let the springing forth

settle in

Enlarge the place of your tent, 

and let the curtains of your habitations be stretched out; 

spare not; lengthen your cords and strengthen your stakes

  Isaiah 54:2 Amplified

sharing at Bonnie's

Soaking

the rains have come

hard, continuous

what this land has long 

needed, nourishing 

and reviving

weary souls 

tilt faces up

to drink

echoing sweet hallelujahs

I will give you rain in due season, 

and the land shall yield her increase 

and the trees of the field yield their fruit.

Leviticus 26:4 Amplified
