Facing uncertainty

More questions than actions

Reaching out to Father

Love’s trusted interactions

 

Harboring inner doubts

Weakened by rising tides

Praying now to Father

Mercy brings answers to guide

 

Choosing to always trust

Assurance speaks to heart

Listening to Father

Grace nourishing faith’s fresh start

 

Tasting heavenly joy

Life’s outlook now renewed

Receiving from Father

Page turned, filled with gratitude

 

Rejoicing in hope’s light

Righteous path before thee

Conversing with Father

His peace calms as darkness flees

Clouds of change fill morning’s sky

Hidden in frozen crystal ball

What will tomorrow bring?

Many questions wait to free fall

 

Transformation rides each wind

Hidden story’s unwritten thread

Others forecast gloom and doom

Some say, better times ahead

 

Harmony fills every thought

Hidden in history’s playbook

Another bridge, not too far

Truth discovers faithful nook

 

Joyful peace, flowing with hope

Hidden anthem’s spirited choice

Rodeo’s last mount to ride

Countless answers offer voice

Instructions for living a life.  Pay attention.  Be astonished.  Tell about it.

In this universe we are given two gifts:  the ability to love and the ability to question.  Which are, at the same time, the fires that warm us and the fires that scorch us.

Mary Oliver (1935-2019) was a best-selling American poet, who received many honors for her work.  Her love of nature can be found in much of her writing, and it resulted in honors from the National Book Award in 1992 and Pulitzer Prize in 1984.

Another day

Another mountain

Faced with challenges

Finding wisdom’s fountain

 

Another day

Another unknown

Faced with emptiness

Finding one stepping stone

 

Another day

Another low tide

Faced with little hope

Finding tomorrow’s guide

 

Another day

Another question

Faced with mystery

Finding next suggestion

 

Another day

Another sunrise

Faced with certainty

Finding life’s clearest skies

The only one qualified to throw a stone . . . didn’t.

From John 8:4-7:  “They said to Him, ‘Teacher, this woman was caught in the very act of committing adultery.  Now in the law Moses commanded us to stone such women.  Now what do You say?’  They said this to test Him, so that they might have some charge to bring against Him.  Jesus bent down and wrote with His finger on the ground.  When they kept on questioning Him, He straightened up and said to them, ‘Let anyone among you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.'”
