Ponderings from the Pond 3 – More Than Enough

Early Morning. The God rise. Calling me up.  Out. Toward Him. Where all Created things worship their Creator.  Me….just a small piece of the symphony of praise…..exalting the Most High. With tired eyes.  House Asleep.  Door to soul opens. Me. Carrying nothing….just self in blue pajamas. The best journeys toward Him….anyway.  Arms empty.  Decorated not in […]

Second Chances

I awake and say…. Today is a Second Chance. A chance to live for Him… Not the world. A chance to shut down technology and delve into The Word. A chance to say, I am sorry. Start new. A chance to embrace others in all I do. A chance to laugh more…         Hug more.              Smile […]
