The Soul
In the stillness the soul reflects,
on the days gone by,
and what comes next,
I release a gentle sigh.
Believing & trusting in a love so deep,
through the struggle and the pain,
when all can be done is to weep,
the soul still feels the love,
through this heavy rain.
By God’s grace and steady hand,
the healing has begun,
feeling the power of His love,
flooded by His mercy from high above.
Oh Lord Jesus, I pray,
please touch my weary soul this day!

Dog Love
He is sassy, he has pizazz, he is funny, determined, charming, gentle, kind, wise ….he is ….Snoopy! Snoopy was created by the ever so talented, Charles M. Schwartz, modeled after his own childhood dog, Spike.
For over 50 years, Snoopy & The Peanuts characters charmed the world! I used to draw him all over my school notebooks. I cut out his comic strips, had a watch & t-shirts with his image on them and a stuffed Snoopy to snuggle with. He made me laugh & comforted me when there were tears. I would share my daily adventures with him & he would share his….He accompanied me to school for show and tell and traveled with me on long trips.
There is just something about his character that touches my heart and being a dog, makes him even more heart warming. Snoopy forever!

In The Shadows
Often times, it is in the shadows where major growth occurs. Being still and calling upon the Heavenly Father while allowing the shadows to move through inevitable brings light and strength. And each time this is experienced in life, one becomes that much stronger, the light shines that much brighter, creating an unshakable & beautiful faith!
“Some hearts, like evening primroses, open more beautifully in the shadows of life.”

The Dance Of Grace
The Dance Of Grace
In the twilight,
the sun dims her brilliance,
the elegance of evening soon appears,
a time to rest,
a time to delight,
in the shadows of the night.
Dancing with grace throughout the day,
the soul filled with a radiant glow,
the heart filled with gratitude & joy ,
thankful for the gifts gathered along the way,
thankful to God who made it all so.
The sun will soon rise again,
shining her lovely face,
a new day to see the gifts before us,
a new day to perform the Dance of Grace.
