This day opens up like a flower to the light.
Like a child’s hand searching for delight.
Like butterfly wings ready to soar.
As I take a leap off the limb into more….
More…of what God has for me.
Breaking free from bitter cocoons….
Not drawn away by fears beckoning….
It is this day.
Now.
That I search for…..
Seek to capture…..
Wait to leap into…..
It is these wings that were born to draw wind underneath them….around them….through the very soul of my being.
For the crisp sky of early morn whispers. To me…You…..The courageous…
The earth whispers to….
Come.
Soar.
There is more…
More…
Than dreadful days….caught up in worries….and time capsules of yesterday.
Today is a chance to spread wide the gifts God’s given.
Rid yourselves of cocoon prisons….
Fear.
Doubt.
Anxieties….
Other people’s expectation.
Today….
Is the time to soar.
Today I join Ann in reaching into skies of Thanks. And entering heavens….with wide open arms filled with praise!
10) I thank Him for air, crisp and clean….
11) Mornings of great expectations.
12) A chance to seize the day.
13) I thank Him for little feet…pattering my way.
14) The life in the eyes of a child awake….
15) The arm from heaven that’s gripped on tight.
16) His faithfulness through every season of life.
17) I thank Him for storms…where roots go deep.
18) For the family who we love….renewing their vows yesterday…on the beach.
19) For the hope of salvation….a hope that never dies.
20) The chance to go to China.
21) How His Word is always life.
He IS my everything. And How His love always, no matter what, without a doubt…..reigns!
Thank you for joining me today…
And Ann at A Holy Experience
