Lovingkindness and truth have met together;
Righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
Psalm 85:10 (NASB)
Fractured First Thoughts
Heart strings tug tight
Tendrils teasing ….not forgotten
Friends and foes
Tossing and turning
Exhaustion sets in and sleep comes
An extra hour
A gift…to dream…in the lazy light
Wear your life jacket on the rapids
We push through pain
First trail run in months
Climbing the mountain
Protected in the shadows
Breathing deep fresh air
Sharing our troubles and the trivial
Giggles over what jiggles
Who cares that we are slow…we’re moving
The striving for excellence
Perfect present…presentation….performance
While we hunger for relationship
Connection
To be seen and heard
Undivided attention
Remembered
The letdown lingers
So we honor ourselves
Pedicures and painting
Lavender and soaking
Massages easing the tension
Sinking deep in silliness
Smiles that reach our eyes
Contained laughter
Stretching our comfort zones
Unexpected treasure
A card that skims the surface
Love your life
Love every day God gives you
Pass it on
Return the favor and affection
Step towards vulnerability
UGH…
Cares fly free with sun-kissed day
Convertible drive
Hair gone wild with whipping
Matching inner turmoil
Music with the musings
Hanging on to hope
Dreams
To be gently held
From the cold stone
He lifts me up
Wipes my tears
Cleans my filth
Bandages my hurts
Dresses me in His finest
Adorns with shimmering light
Sees me pretty
And we dance
He dips me low
Leads me steady
Listens without distraction
Secures me with His understanding
Heals my hollow heart
And wraps me with God winks
My Father…I belong to Him
Rescued and Redeemed
Embraced in arms so strong
Waiting
Lonely cavern of my soul
Sacred place
Victory is in His right hand
Righteousness and peace meet in the middle and kiss
Emmanuel…God with us!
