A New Year’s Prayer

  Just enough raindrops to plant your hope deep, Just enough losses to learn what to keep; Just enough chaos to drive you to prayer, Just enough failure to need Jesus there; Just enough courage to hold your head high, Just enough valleys to covet the sky; Just enough sunshine to process the pain, Just…

frozen moon

 

Just enough raindrops to plant your hope deep,

Just enough losses to learn what to keep;

Just enough chaos to drive you to prayer,

Just enough failure to need Jesus there;

Just enough courage to hold your head high,

Just enough valleys to covet the sky;

Just enough sunshine to process the pain,

Just enough dying to rise up again.

    I don’t just “like” this…I love it. I’m going to put it in the cover of my Bible and let it journey with me this year. It’s just right and more than enough. 🙂

    So touching, Melody! So profound. I will put this in my prayer corner to remind me that the purpose of life is to draw me to Him.

    Oh Mel! This is Wow-wow-wow-Wonderful! And I love the photo too–Happy New Year!

      Sundial to come – it was a little more challenging to gain access in the cold snap we just had. I shovelled myself a little path – should be good to go as soon as the sun comes out! Our hoarfrost was simply magnificent – had a few weeks of pretty constant fog at night, so it froze on in multiple layers. Delectable! Happy New Year, my poetic friend. I pray you will experience HIM in brand new ways!

        He just keeps pouring on the blessings, Sister–when I think it can’t get any better, it DOES! Your place sounds so beautiful, courtesy of our weather Artist!

        It has been STUNNING. A little more plain today, but with a thin dusting of fresh snow. Lovely.

  13. Worth & Wisdom

    Just enough loveliness for your heart to shine. Beautiful one Melody!
