They don’t know it yet
But today will be
The last time
They see each other
Death happens
Life goes on
Divorce happens
Life goes on
Friendships end
Life goes on
Life doesn’t stop for pain
It just keeps going on
While we try to learn
How to live
Without
Pieces of our heart

Lately I have been reminding myself that this world is just a temporary home. We’re only here for a short visit. Just a little while, so try not to hurry. Don’t waste time with worry. And be sure to stop and enjoy the flowers along the way.

Difficult times are part of living. Sometimes unexplained things happen and we have to survive them. Other times we make choices and decisions that bring the difficulties on ourselves. Either way, God extends His mercy and grace to us. He is always there but we have to choose to accept Him. Remember to reach out and hold His hand today. 💞

What might happen if we let God out of the box centuries have tried to contain Him in?
He makes Himself obtainable to us, but He is truly un-containable.
It’s challenging for our intellect to wrap itself around so we construct four walls, call it a church, decide on a leader, put some rules and ceremonies together, set aside a few minutes each week to congregate with other like minded souls and hope that we have chosen the right congregation to congregate with.
God created us to enjoy and take care of what He created before us. He wants a personal relationship with us, so much so that He allows our bodies to be a temple His Spirit dwells in. We have access to His un-limited, un-containable power, grace, mercy, strength, advice, healing, friendship, comfort, resources, and love every second of every minute of every day. But, He chooses to let us use our own free will to decide how much of Him we get to know.
A church building is not required, a preacher is not required, a congregatin is not required.
What might happen if we trusted Him enough to let God out of the box we have been programmed to contain Him in and invited Him to be his true un-containable self?

Eventually….. seems like an impossible dream at times.
Impatience….. makes me give up on eventually and try to make things happen faster.
Failure….. comes from impatiently taking things out of God’s hands and trying to control them myself instead of letting go and trusting Him.
Trust….. the hardest part of the “eventually” equation.

Love is like a box of chocolates
It hits us in all kinds of ways
Sometimes the taste of it
Lingers for a lifetime
Occasionally it leaves
A bitter after taste
Mostly
Regardless of the form it takes
It is sweet
Something to be savored
I am glad that you are in
My box of love

Did you know
That I know
That you have
A kind heart
A fierce mind
A brave spirit
And
So much more
The world needs you in it
Trust God
Be strong
Press on
💗

Truth be told
I’m tired
Exhausted actually
From chasing my thoughts
Which keep running
In circles
Speeding up when
I reach them, to toss them
They escape, circle again
I don’t want to think about
You, or about us, or
What could have been
I don’t want to think about
The words that were said
Or the ones left unspoken
I don’t want to think about
Any of it
Yet the thoughts
Keep circling
Finding their way to me
In the middle of the night
Creeping into my dreams
Making me wonder
Did I do the right thing
Could I forget about
Marriage and become a
Long-term dater
No, I really can not do that
I still believe in marriage
Even if, you do not

We can get caught up
Trying to pull someone
Out of a dark place
We must remember
To take care of ourselves
While we are helping them
Their pain and sadness
May cut to our core
Because we’ve been
Where they are before
We comprehend the depth
That darkness can sink
A spirit down to
We feel compelled
To act
To do something
So we pull
With whatever we have
Our time, our finances
Our love
It’s easy to lose sight
Of protecting ourselves
While we are helping
Someone else
Lost in the act of doing
We forget the only way
To overcome darkness
They must see the light

When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” John 8:12
As we grow older
It’s easy to get stuck
In the monotonous
Dance of every day
Then wake up
To find
We have missed
Many opportunities
So take a little time
Enjoy the music
Get lost in it and
Write a special song
Tomorrow I dare you
To wake up and sing
At the top of your lungs
Your own special tune
Don’t worry
The every day dance
Will still be there
When the music fades
You can always return
To the monotonous
Mundane
Dance of every day
