I have to confess tho, that as my medicated-self awoke early again today, I wasn't so thankful! Late nights followed by early mornings are not my favorites. But, yes, HE is so good to be ever-present with His Grace for us. Thank you for sharing some of that Grace with all of us, as you've passed along His Gifts of poetry!

I had not put those two together yet! I want to meditate on that this afternoon, as I continue to ask the Lord to see more of His Love in my life! Blessings to you, and your encouraging heart! *Hugs*BettieGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01184677704960428160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4123043706114460279.post-64996881539707971682016-05-26T10:08:37.146-07:002016-05-26T10:08:37.146-07:00Bettie, your words breathe such sweet encouragemen...Bettie, your words breathe such sweet encouragement as you reflect on the remnants of grace concealed in our days. I love how God woke you up to see the sunrise and capture it so beautifully. These words are especially meaningful to me: "Nothing is ever really lost when we belong to Jesus. He is the perfect gatekeeper, and He watches over those childlike places in our hearts, just waiting for the right time to awaken and stir the embers of a passionate love."<br />I sense those embers being stirred as I reflect more on God's amazing love and generous gift of grace. These days my awakenings are pretty late and slow, and most of the morning has disappeared before I feel conscious of the day. <br />Thankfully, whenever we stop to pause and listen, God is ever-present to respond to us. May you enjoy His presence in your quiet garden space and sense His rays radiating through each day, pulsating with love and life. Thank you so much for sharing how the poem has impacted you. Bless you, friend!

This line awes me, Bettie. So beautiful and hope-filled. I love your photo, too. You captured the sun's power in the corner shining over your remnant. It reminds me also of "Love's gentle power poured out" as in Joy's poem. I have Joy's book, too. Her poems are wonderful, aren't they?

Your thoughts about your garden and caring for you mom are all woven into your words that God wastes nothing and redeems all that we go through, if we give him access. Enjoyed reading Joy's poem - so glad you shared it! xoValerie Siscohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06235325506474887234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4123043706114460279.post-48071191775743387892016-05-25T10:30:40.954-07:002016-05-25T10:30:40.954-07:00Bettie, this was so lovely!
