Jane Seymour Quotes

People treat life as though it’s the dress rehearsal for some big show.  It’s not.  This is it.

My father always told me, you can only be your own best.  In other words, if you feel you’ve done your best, you’ve done well enough.

Jane Seymour (born 1951) is a British actress.

Everlasting Joy

From Genesis 1:1-3:  “When God began to create the heavens and the earth,  the earth was complete chaos, and darkness covered the face of the deep, while a wind from God swept over the face of the waters.  Then God said, ‘Let there be light,’ and there was light.”

Early morning giants

Creator in its midst

Forest landscape stirring

His breath offers assist

 

Glorious sky blossoms

Creator brightens light

Sunrise worships with praise

Night’s glory taking flight

 

Vision of what He wants

Creator wakens rain

Parched wilderness transformed

Gratitude fills each vein

 

Salvation always near

Creator sharing grace

Gentle waters flowing

Life reborn in this place

 

Heavenly eyes look down

Creator turns new page

Everlasting joy sings

Nature’s gifts come of age

From Genesis 2:1-3:  “Thus the heavens and the earth were finished and all their multitude.  On the sixth day God finished the work that He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all the work that He had done.  So God blessed the seventh day and hallowed it, because on it God rested from all the work that He had done in creation.

Monday Memories: Morning Dreams

Photo by icon0.com on Pexels.com

Darkness hides

Morning’s reception

Silence riddles chilly air

 

Mellow breeze

Wind chimes serenade

Peace soothing this resting soul

 

Candle glows

Dancing shadows play

Frolicking, flickering flame

 

Hot coffee

Early, steady mate

Comforting, every drop

 

Good ol’ friend

Morning hums with fun

Feeling the caffeine-fueled boost

 

Dawn’s twilight

Distant horizon

Breaking through hardheaded clouds

 

Music plays

Tunes stir memories

Jukebox sings with sunrise joy

 

Life’s pages

Another chapter

Feeling all cozy and warm

 

Dreams invite

Delightful journey

Buzzing, unmistaken joy

 

Snooze button

Calling, “Please hit me”

Let’s start all over . . . again!

There is never anything wrong with being a “happy dreamer.”  Without dreams, much of mankind’s world would cease to be.
