    Yours

    Finding the stride, Seeking the truth, Listening to hope, Don’t turn away. Always move toward the sun – Leaving shadows behind. I will run toward You. Arms outstretched, smiling, I am Yours. But, You knew that already, didn’t You?  -RG

    Horizons Ahead

    There is a place in my soul; It is well-guarded. But the open road brings it out to play. I see the future, I touch the present, I leave the past behind. My days are ordered, and slip into harmony. How grateful I am for Your Direction! As the swirling chaos of this thing called “life” dances, I tip my head back and taste the rain. So many wonders, it takes my breath away. I am Yours, and rejoice in the certainty. God has given me Serenity and Adventures! – RG

    Uninvited Guest

      Feeling the bite against my skin, Sun shining brightly, but bringing little warmth. Winter has arrived. Today inside feels as chilly as the air outside. I miss you. Longing to hear the warmth of your laughter, Share your memories, Feel your hug… Grief sneaked in uninvited.  – RG

    Seeking Beauty

    Memories creep forward From hidden recesses, Bringing with them joy and tears, but mostly joy. The temporary nature of this life Seems so permanent; But this existence is fleeting. The eternal soul, must find its way. Apart, for now, but knowing this too is temporary. One day the fabric will be whole again, And the missing will cease. In the meantime, I will seek beauty, hope and love. These will remain.  – RG

    Undone

    Tears fall at the very thought of You. Grace and mercy have consumed me. Your hands have steered me in unexpected ways – Gentle but strong. With head bowed, I can’t help but smile. Your love has altered me – Physically, mentally, spiritually. There are not enough words to thank You. Yes, I am undone by the Son… Remade. New. And it is good.  – RG

    Saturday Psalm

    Leaves dance and swirl in the breeze. Their movements a ballet swathed in green. The heavens are grey today – covered in a cloak of clouds. And yet, there is sunshine in my heart. A calm and beautiful assurance of love and guidance. In the silence of this moment, I am undone by the magnitude of grace. How can I begin to say, “Thank You“? In a world full of chaos, You are the author of order. When dreams seem to be dashed against the cliffs, You offer a place of refuge and strength. Your heartbeat is what I long to hear. My Strong Tower! Savior of my heart, mind…
