Reminiscent Joy
Music of the Masters streams through my living room, Memories of days gone by harmonize with their melodies, Fragrant and pungent as the pinon wood burning nearby. Rather than leaving ashes, these thoughts bring joy, hope and restoration. Blessings too numerous to count, stacked in random order, Creating a mosaic that is beautiful in my mind’s eye. Kindness, love and a simpler time, When things were truly what they seemed. Today, as another Thanksgiving has passed I stop and thank God for Who He Is, rather than what I have. There is changeless magnificence in Him. It is very easy to bow before such grandeur, How could one not? If…

Whispers
Whispers in my heart Telling of the Hope, Not forsaken, never alone, Always in the palm of His hand. My name inscribed there. The vision of Him bending down To hear my prayer. Listening. Caring.

Eternity is the time to spend saying, “I love You.” – RG

The trees, the flowers and the sky, They all exist by Your command. In every sense Your pulse of life Is woven in creation’s song.…

The moments are sweet, rare and fine – And fleeting. The essence of a person, Their heart, smile and soul Are treasured. Cherish the seconds for time is relentless. Grateful, so grateful for the love shared. Hopeful, so hopeful for the days ahead. You are in my heart – Not just today, but always. I will recall the laughter and the love – Wishing for more, thankful for what was given. – RG

Assurance
Unchanging. Unmoving. Solid and secure. These words describe the God I serve, He makes my pathway sure. And even in the days’ unknown Where unexpected reigns, I tip my face into the sun… Don’t need Him to explain. Because His faithfulness endures, And shines throughout the years, His love eclipses everything Including transient tears. I’ll bow my head and sing His song, While others do the same. Together we are stronger still In the power of His name. – RG
