thankful for things that are simple, yet profound

Touch that comforts, heals & expresses love

Hope that’s always there as an anchor when heart is sinking

Answers from God when we question & need direction

Needs that are met through God’s divine and endless supply 

Kisses from Jesus that bring smiles in the midst of challenges

Sounds of birds, laughter, kisses, wind chimes, cellos, geese 

Gift of family, friends & closeness shared

Inspiration of God’s creation - sunrises, sunsets, mountain views, starry nights & a full moon’s glow

Victories gained, lessons learned through struggles & battles

Inklings and insights that bring clarity to foggy moments 

Nearness of God - hiding under the shadow of his wings

God’s grace, goodness and glory He gives us

true reality is played 

in rhythm by God 

as He dances with me 

through the blues until 

the blueness gives way 

to hope.

Pasture Therapy

Lying on soft blanket, 

in the middle of a green pasture

on top of a hill where

gentle breezes play with my hair

gazing right up 

into the brightness of light

and clouds floating by...

Unexpected, yet welcoming

warm November sun 

takes my mind vacationing

on a Sunday afternoon,

and I’m beginning to sense I’m 

escaping the stress 

of this world

and seeing God’s 

glory unfurled

in nature’s display 

and within my soul

I am restored

as I lie in 

green pastures,

today.
