Sweetened Inspiration

From the words of American naturalist, writer and philosopher, Henry David Thoreau:  “Nature is but another name for health, and the seasons are but different states of health.”

Nature’s own therapy

Spring’s refreshing garden

Filled with colors of peace

Bearing life’s fresh pardon

 

Daily snapshot of hope

Each replenishing choice

Picked from nature’s goodness

Sharing next calming voice

 

Prime time’s blessed season

Signs of spirit reborn

Focused on healing light

Escaping from life’s thorns

 

Source of brighter outlook

Images praise with joy

Sweetened inspiration

Renewing vows deploy

 

Love accents morning air

Slightest breeze coming forth

Destined for harmony

Creating life’s true north

Living for Christ is the most exciting adventure in the world.

From Titus 3:4-5:  “But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, He saved us, not because of any works of righteousness that we had done, but according to His mercy, through the water of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit.”

Charles Swindoll (born 1934) is an American pastor and Christian author.
