Joy in Haiku



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!



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!!!

Cathy

  3. There is no emptiness -- it is our lack of ability to see what fills the spaces in divine creation.

  4. God comes closer and becomes clearer to us in nature. Happy Valentine's day!

  5. I 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

  16. Many (if not most) of us have to go through deserts in our lives. How encouraging to know that there is a fulness to be found there amid the seeming emptiness!
