Here I am, Lord
Lord, here I am
Up in the woods
Cabin by the lake
Peaceful and quiet
I came here to listen
To hear Your Voice
To seek Your will
And just to Be
here with You
With Your Word
With Your Presence
Quiet on the lake
Quiet in the woods
Quiet in my heart
Time to slow down
Internet went out
Part of Your Providence
Less distraction there
Makes me smile 🙂
You have my attention
Calling me to Wait
“By waiting and by calm
you shall be saved
In quiet and in trust
shall be your strength”
Isaiah 30:15
Your Word for me
Mom’s word to me often
“Be calm, Ann
be calm…. “
I hear her voice
Family so close here
Most of them departed
Their voices are still here
Their presence tangible
Chairs around the table
Four of them are empty
Only two of us left
And then there’ll be one
Cherish the time left
Rejoice in times past
All is gift
Receive it gratefully
Is this Your Word for me?
Just to Be
In Gratitude?
Each and every moment?
And that’s really enough
What more do I need?
Not a printed plan
No scheduled agenda
To be here with You
and too with those I love
To savor the memories
To harvest the gold
So thank You Lord praise You
Don’t need any fireworks
You’ve given me peace
in the quiet of the woods
“No storm can shake my inmost calm
When to that refuge clinging
If Christ is Lord of heaven and earth
How can I keep from singing…”
