lavender

I miss the long nights of fellowship
The eager early morning greetings

It seems as though I've let time slip away from us...
Have let the demands of others put a wedge between us.

And the gifts you gave me...
I haven't had the time to enjoy...to savor...
to nurture and produce more.

My heart longs to be filled with sweet music...that it may clear
my cluttered mind.
And intertwined in notes my be the love shared between
you and I.

Like the sweet fragrance of lavender oil
poured out of Mary's box...

I pour out my heart...
Saying I Love You...
Praying never to be apart.

My Notes On Jesus

Time is more precious than money

a kind gesture speaks louder than words.

A gentle touch feeds the lonely.

An encouraging word voids a negative spirit

A sweet song uplifts the depressed

The Word quenches thirst

Prayer is a life line

Faith is healing medicine

Patience reveals all things

Real love has no conditions

Awe-Some Praise

Oh Lord, how I delight in the beauty of your creation!

What detail in the most delicate flower.

What vibrant display of color in the plumage of birds with colors we have yet to name!

Soft rolling hills that fall into the vast valley.

Majestic mountains that seem to cut through the Earth in an attempt to reach the heights of

heaven!

And all around , I hear the song of your creation giving you honor and glory from the energetic

vocals of birds to the mountain's reverent praise.......

How excellent is your name in all the Earth!!

All my cares and worries fade away as I join in praise.

Realizing your are God who is in control, mindful of all your created beings!

Broken Heart

Like a broken vessel full of fragrant oils, a broken heart often emits the sweet perfume God loves to smell....

For it is then He comforts and does His greatest restorative work

He begins to mold and shape you for the task He has prepared

The trials whose weight have crushed your heart-
are used to develop your gifts...

so that they may spread throughout like incense to bless those that you come in contact with

They in turn smell the aroma of God

And as His scent lingers...

they are moved like you were as He begins to pour in healing streams into their broken hearts

Filled up, they continue to share His essence!

Oh to share blessed fellowship with Him

Whose broken heart of love healed the world

Beautiful

Psalm 139:14 (New International Version)

14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.


The mold society has made,
The images the media displays.
The riches people acquire,
The sleek and provocative attire.
The look peers and loved ones try to dictate,
with convincing argument's that one will eventually arrive to a more desirable state....

According to God's Word, none of these define,
The beautiful creation that is indisputably divine!
For it is the Most High who with love delicately contrived,
Every inch, hair of this body that thrives.
So I lift my head up high,
And arise from all that tries,
To be an image breaker,
And tell me contrary to my maker.

I love Him because He first loved me...
I love me because He wonderfully and fearfully made me.
