God’s help is near and always available, but it is only given to those who seek it.

From Matthew 7:7-8:  “Ask, and it will be given to you; search, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened for you.  For everyone who asks receives, and everyone who searches finds, and for everyone who knocks, the door will be opened.”

Max Lucado (born 1955) is an American pastor and Christian author.

Beneath Warmth’s Joy

Gray sky flies overhead

Winter’s cold arrives

Autumn now asleep

Chilling nature’s hard drive

 

Spirit fills every tree

Spring postpones her speech

Peace lands with each flake

Covering whitest beach

 

Silence rejoins landscape

Yet, very much alive

Transfusion hidden

Feeding grace to survive

 

Arctic freeze now coming

Double seal each hatch

Ship awaits next storm

Traversing icy patch

 

Night’s dreams seeking comfort

Winter’s frost deploys

Hope’s blanket of snow

Snuggling beneath warmth’s joy

From Song of Solomon 2:8:  “The voice of my beloved!  Look, he comes, leaping upon the mountains, bounding over the hills.”

Sitting here, another morning’s darkness

Thinking of today’s most beautiful view

Your kindness and love arrives with a smile

Transforming this heart to radiant new

 

Traveling life’s lonely, meaningless road

Dreaming of unlocking a better life

Your cherished spirit bestows precious light

Joining together as husband and wife

 

Making beloved home for two love birds

Nurturing passion with each priceless day

Your tender, caring thoughts lead us forward

Navigating with God’s love, shows His way

 

Affirming love through joyful affection

Walking in Jesus’ perfect reflection

From Song of Solomon 4:1:  “How beautiful you are, my love, how very beautiful!  Your eyes are doves behind your veil.  Your hair is like a flock of goats, moving down the slopes of Gilead.”

The point of life was to press on, to do the best you can, to make the world a better place.

Fix your eyes forward on what you can do, not back on what you cannot change.

Tom Clancy (1947-2013) was an American author who pioneered the techno-thriller genre.

Fortune is the prize to be worn.  Adventure is the road to it.  Chance is what may lurk in the shadows of the roadside.

Most wonderful of all are words, and how they make friends one with another.

O. Henry, the pen name of William Henry Porter (1862-1910), was an American writer who mastered the art of crafting short stories.
