Sunshine and Rain

Sunshine Through Rain

Watch for sunshine to peek through the rain.
For joy chasing sadness as we grow from our pain.

Look for the rainbow showing God’s love
In the form of His multi-colored promise above.

There’s always a way to a new tomorrow
That comes from giving God our sorrows

Our joy, our laughter, our fear and our pain
In an offering of praise for He rations the rain.



Don’t Run!!??

The shortest distance
Between two places is RUN!
Nathan doesn’t waste time
From here to fun!

He’s bright and quick
And wants to know
What makes things work
And why they go.

He wants to know
The how’s and why’s
Of birds and bats
And butterflies.

Everything he see
Is GREAT!
And so he runs,
He cannot wait;

Please help this
Young man on his way
He doesn’t want to waste
A single minute of TODAY!



Family

Because of God’s plan,
We are family.
As the seed of Adam and Eve,
We are family.
As the offspring of Abraham, (literal or spiritual)
We are family.
By baptism into Christ,
We are family.
By ancestors of many generations,
We are family.
By choice and strength of love,
We are family.
By circumstances and God’s design,
We are family.

In God’s family all are equal.
Race, gender, social position,
Finances, place of birth;
None of these matter because
Christ’s life, death and
Resurrection, has restored us
In Him, to the Holy Family of God.

We are family.



Full Moon

The field has been transformed
Tonight, into a sea of light.
The moon is shining high above
And everything is bright.
The bales of hay are now the ships
On which my musings glide.
The cricket’s song a symphony,
A distant star it’s highest note,
Carries me far from all life’s fears,
And mankind seems remote.
Surely the Lord is in this place
His presence fills my heart.
His glory bids my darkness flee,
And gives me a new start.
