peaceful sunrise
Because of the tender mercy of our God,
With which the Sunrise from on high will visit us,
To shine upon those who sit in darkness
and the shadow of death,
To guide our feet into the way of peace.
~ Luke 1:78-79

Lighthouses don’t go running all over an island
looking for boats to save;
they just stand there shining.

Norfolk pines at dusk
on so lovely a night it is a shame to sit in the house;
and surely no one can wish to go to bed
while sunset is thus at meeting with moonrise.
~ Charlotte Bronte, “Jane Eyre”

i thank You God for most this amazing
day: for the leaping greenly spirits of trees
and a blue true dream of sky; and for everything
which is natural which is infinite which is yes

rainforest path
Of all the paths you take in life,
make sure a few of them are dirt.

adirondack chairs
Never lose an opportunity of seeing anything that is beautiful;
for beauty is God’s handwriting – a wayside sacrament.
Welcome it in every fair face, in every fair sky, in every fair flower,
and thank God for it as a cup of blessing.
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
morning colours
I see Your face in every sunrise
The colours of the morning are inside Your eyes
The world awakened in the light of the day
I look up to the sky and say
You’re beautiful

for Dad – flying home
Someday we are going to see God in His completeness, face-to-face.
Now all that I know is hazy and blurred,
but then I will see everything clearly…

solitude
Then stirs the feeling infinite, so felt
In solitude, when we are least alone.
~ Lord Byron
Advent
Through the heart of tender mercy and loving-kindness of our God,
a Light from on high will dawn upon us and visit us,
To shine upon and give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death,
to direct and guide our feet in a straight line into the way of peace.
~ Luke 1:78-79 Amplified
