The Lord is coming, always coming.  When you have ears to hear and eyes to see, you will recognize Him at any moment of your life.  Life is Advent; life is recognizing the coming of the Lord.

Henri Nouwen (1932-1996) was a Dutch priest, professor, writer, and theologian.

Returning to Morning

Season follows season

Stormy seas giving way

Returning to morning

Tranquil waters each day

 

Autumn’s peaceful colors

Restful days bringing calm

Returning to morning

Gratitude fills each psalm

 

Winter’s brisk cold arrives

Fireplace warming each heart

Returning to morning

Snowstorm ready to start

 

Spring’s joy welcomes comeback

Love sharing fresh flowers

Returning to morning

Praises flood each hour

 

Summer’s playful leisure

Laughter filling each day

Returning to morning

Endless moments won’t stay

 

Harmony’s creation

Nature writing each verse

Returning to morning

Always time to rehearse

God grants us an uncommon life to the degree we surrender our common one.

From Matthew 16:24-25:  “Then Jesus told His disciples, ‘If any wish to come after me, let them deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.  For those who want to save their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for My sake will find it.'”
