Angels all around us

Surrounded by breathtaking beauty
angels all around us, dancing,
standing watch, protecting,
journeying with us in the Garden,
rising from the earth.
 
Angels all around us, shining,
sharing God’s love with us,
ambassadors of heaven,
sentinels in the Garden
watching over us.

Garden Healing - v2

Fruit of the garden
gifts of the earth
garden healing
gives us new birth.
 
Life from the soil
plants that grow
heals our body
restores our soul.
 
Garden healing
promise of God
redeems our lives
gifts of God's love.

#Fear has no place – v3

Fear has no place,

it is unwanted, unwelcome,

in pursuing our dream

in living out our passion.

 

Life in abundance

is there for us to find it,

to claim it, to embrace it

in our dream pursued

in life manifested

in going forward, confident,

being sure of our path.

 

Courage is moving forward,

not letting our fears stop us,

trusting in the one, in God,

who created, who saved us.

There is power in a dream actively being pursued;

there is hope for a future on the right path.

There is joy overflowing with each step taken;

there is nowhere else anyone should ever be.

there is life in abundance with every step.

There is fulfillment, there is joy in the moment;

there is no place for fear in pursuing our dream.

Sowing seeds, Planting seedlings – v2

More than random, offering,

sharing more deeply

sowing seeds, planting seedlings

nurturing their good soil.

 

Making lasting connections

if they were interested, hopeful,

longing for relationship

for the seeds, the seedlings to grow.

 

Sowing seeds, planting seedlings,

caring about each person

listening to their pain, their stories

offering them her experience, hope.

Planting seeds of connection – v2

In each conversation, each moment,

planting seeds of connection

life changes in the offing

for them, for us, together,

in each word we shared.

 

More than random, offering,

to each a connection, relationship,

taking time, sharing more deeply

sowing seeds, planting seedlings

nurturing this good soil.

 

For some forging relationships

making lasting connections

if they were interested, hopeful,

longing for light, for water, for oils,

for the seeds, the seedlings to grow.

 

Mighty trees were planted,

to bear fruit and seeds to come,

an orchard, a vineyard, fields of grain,

a harvest to come in tending, caring for

that which was planted this day.
