When the world clamors loud, we can run to the honesty of nature and trust the quiet communication of a poem. Poetry, photographs, paintings and sculptures- all creative efforts speak to us in a language all their own. Let’s listen.

It is when the day is dark
the need for Light becomes great
Within the darkest night,
lies the greatest possibility for
brightest light
Now is the time for your shining…
Now is the time to shine,
to fly, to burn… to light up this current darkness
with the hope of Eternal Light

I stand before twenty-two of my husband’s button down, collared shirts this morning and am considering taking on a task I have long avoided. As a self-confessed domestically challenged diva I wholeheartedly embrace reality. But reality is, I love my man, and certainly want to be a blessing…maybe even do the thing I despise most. After toilet bowl scouring, spider killing, cooking, dusting, floor washing…oh hey, wait…the list is too long. Stay with me-back to ironing.
You could say, ironing and me go together like…oil and vinegar.
BUT, as one who believes old dogs can learn new tricks and miracles still happen, I will share with you this post about my domestically challenged life and how God is still working on me in this area, on the OTHER side of fifty.
Hope you enjoy this little re-post from 2014…and the invitation at the end.

Sharing a poem I wrote earlier this month. Initially I titled it Examination Day, but after going back and forth with hubby about all the possibilities- I just went with the sheep by still waters…
May your self- reflection always reveal an abundance of grace within, that you may be able to abundantly give it. For such times as these…

This morning’s offering was actually written yesterday morning. The Poetry as Pathway Series will be coming by June. God willing. In the meantime I pray these words encourage you today.
