My RJD offering for you today friends, will be a Summer Treat.
I often write poems in my journals then forget about them.
Poetry is just a way I express myself, I suppose.
It kind of just comes, so I submit myself to the pen and let it flow.
I forgot all about this little ditty I jotted down in the early days.
1997 was the year that God really began speaking to me,
or perhaps when I finally was willing to obey.
Or at least try. For better or worse.
I felt like I could hear Him all the time, everywhere.
I stole away with Him often.
It was the Honeymoon time of my faith…
This is pretty raw. Unedited.
As you can see!
Enjoy!
I Have Felt His Presence
Here
and faraway
Near
and every day…
[present, now, especially today]
O magnificent Ocean
You are but a drop of water
held within His hand
[Behold His glory]
Every sparkling glimmer dancing upon the sand
[Look closely]
I have seen His glorious work!
But where sand meets sea
is where He anointed me…
Rendezvous
Splendid and beautiful place
He has chosen His merciful grace
as a gift imparted to me…
My Lord blesses me
here by the sea
Alone~
I seek His grace and loving-kindness
Behold
He kisses me with Sun and warmth
Caresses me with a gentle breeze
He embraces me with His loving light
Heals me with salty air
and cleanses me with
His foamy,
green waters and righteousness
of whom shall I compare?
None I dare.
Praise Be To God
I see His glory in every hue of blue
of the sky
and wonder why
He would choose me
from the land
as part of His unfolding plan.

So beautiful. Over the years, by the ocean is where I've most often felt the Lord's presence. I love the pic that goes with it, and the ocean wave sounds in the background….well, all I need right now is to put my feet in the sand, and I'm right there with ya — and with Him!Grateful for your posts, always, and for your friendship. Blessings,Pam

Like an oasis is your poem for me today. Like the rush of water over the sands of people and food and caregiving and life swallowing me. Thank you for this moment of sweetness. Refreshing. Needed. Yes, thank you.
