Lie in wait no more
Bursting from your frozen home
Firecracker pop

all

I don't have a lot to give;
I never really have,
But I reach to give
All I can
And love
With all I am.

always with her

Clothed in love and hope,
She looks upon the world with care.
She breathes in the worries
And exhales hopes and dreams.

Encircled by the warmth of the past,
She walks with strength upon the cold grass.
She finds her footing among the broken rocks
And lengthens her stride along the unknown path.

Covered in redemption and the glory of the Lord,
She faces the future with boundless joy.
She climbs mountains and crosses every river
And remembers her Savior and God are with her.

Easter

Tradition is good
Except when everyone is growing
Up and
Life is upside
Down.

Inventing something
New
To reach young hearts
Now.

Taking something they
Know and
Finding a path.

Easter is
Here.

Offering praise.

everyday things

When time runs out,
What will you leave
For others to find?

When your last day arrives,
What will they think
Of the things you left behind?

Little things might get overlooked or mean the world
Such as handkerchiefs and candlesticks,
Ornaments and letters never sent.

But what about the photographs without names,
The piles of scraps of paper and fabric and lace?
What about the just started journals barely written in?

There is so much,
Too much sometimes,
To remember or count.

When times runs out for me,
I hope you find more than things.
I hope you find the love I gave in every day for you.
