Monday Memories: Serenity’s Rain

Posted on November 6, 2023 by bigskybuckeye

Witnessing an early morning rain inspires the visions for this poem. It is amazing how a view through an open window can bring forth images to write from.

Replenishing parched, barren land

Serenity’s rain, from God’s hand

Quenching desert’s eternal thirst

Nature smiling, joy now disbursed

Nourishing life with loving pride

Flora and fauna, at God’s side

Touching each leaf, stems from God’s love

Hues of green, colored from above

Singing with praise, birds bless this scene

Creation glowing, dazzling sheen

Sharing splendor, feeling at peace

Morning rain, grants life a new lease

Listening closely, hearing now

God’s serenity, takes a bow

Morning Gathering

Posted on November 5, 2023 by bigskybuckeye

From Psalm 30:5: “For His anger is but for a moment; His favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may linger for the night, but joy comes with the morning.”

Morning gathering

Hearing Christ’s invite

Come now, rest a spell

Witnessing His delight

Tasting each morning

Sweetness of His grace

Reading Father’s Word

Peace fills this very place

Blessed morning time

Taking faithful walk

Christ offers His love

Trusting salvation’s rock

Finding morning’s truth

Gospel’s foundation

Maturing in faith

Father’s new creation

Tomorrow morning

Gathering again

Precious time with Christ

Praising His lasting reign

From Lamentations 3:22-23: “The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, His mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness.”

Howard Thurman Quote

Posted on November 5, 2023 by bigskybuckeye

In the stillness of the quiet, if we listen, we can hear the whisper of the heart giving strength to weakness courage to fear, hope to despair.

From Psalm 130:5-6: I wait for the Lord; my soul waits, and in his word I hope; my soul waits for the Lord more than those who watch for the morning, more than those who watch for the morning.”

Howard Thurman (1899-1981) was a American author, theologian, and civil rights leader. His writings mentored many leaders in the civil rights movement, including Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

We need godly knowledge and principles to guide us, which is why we must make meditation on the Word a daily habit.

From Psalm 119:97-98: “Oh, how I love Your law! It is my meditation all day long. Your commandment makes me wiser than my enemies, for it is always with me.”
