Today I join Meri for Share the Joy Thursday. For I believe we need to find it in my life every day no matter the realities in which we live. God is Good in so many ways even in times of trial.
Joy comes in many forms.
And this day has the potential of
being just as grand as
celebrating the beauty in
God's Creation!
I must be open to it!
being just as grand as
celebrating the beauty in
God's Creation!
I must be open to it!
~~~~~~~~~~
As Lent begins, I'm called to reflect of the emptiness one might find in the desert. And yet that is where the Savior went to pray. It is void of distraction except for the occasional bird, screech owl, snake. There is quiet and serenity! How can it be empty if it was created by God?
Desert, serene,
And quiet contemplation.
There's fullness of life.
~~~^j^~~~
Thanks be to God!!!

Please visit Rebecca at recuerda mi corazon for Haiku My Heart. There is always more beautiful words there to enchant and encourage!!!
The joy in the stillness and quiet is an awe-inspiring one. Yes, we need to celebrate that joy too !
ReplyDeleteHappy Thursday !
A nice light with delicious haiku, yes, serenity to life.
ReplyDeleteThere is no emptiness -- it is our lack of ability to see what fills the spaces in divine creation.
ReplyDeleteGod comes closer and becomes clearer to us in nature. Happy Valentine's day!
ReplyDeleteI take such joy in reading your posts. I am doing some extra reading from the New Testament for Lent and am enjoying the quiet time to be able to sit and feel the Acts of the Apostles taking place. We are in a historical time in our church and my prayers go out to all who are making those big decisions. Blessings
ReplyDeleteQMM
Wow! Elegant photography and divine haiku ~ ^_^
ReplyDeleteLove the Haiku - and the Message. Thank you for being part of Haiku Friday.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter just got back from a trip to North Africa. She would agree with you about the "fullness of life" in the desert. A lovely haiku.
ReplyDelete{{ peace be with you ♥ }}
ReplyDeleteOh yes, there's life in the desert! Great haiku!

I ain't saying your information is not solid, however suppose you added a title to possibly get folk'ѕ attentіon?
I mean "Joy in Haiku" is kinda bοring. You should glance at Yahoo's home page and watch how they write post titles to get viewers to open the links. You might add a related video or a pic or two to get people excited about what you've
wrіtten. Just my opіnіon, it could make уour
posts а little bit moгe іnteгestіng.
