I open the blinds to see a grey haze Sometime I feel like the weather reflects my hearts maze As my grey matter thinks of the grey haze Rainy days are not so bad Reminding my spirit it is ok to be sad To hurt, to long, to feel you have a long way to go To not know the answers or to have to say "no" Life has curves and sorrow and hurts Problems, complications, those without homes and work The weather reminds me we will weather the weather Together LORD, may I see ...

Beautiful memories are tied with Heart Strings, not purse strings
I’m carrying forward the childhood joy of opening my Raggedy Ann lunch box to find mama had cut my sandwich out with heart shaped cookie cutters. It’s the little things.

A message in the leaves
I received a message from a friend last night who requested prayer for a friends son that was ready to end his life. Sometimes when I pray, it turns into a poem. While praying for this young man, I thought of these heart shaped leaves I found last week while sweeping the courtyard. They were like little love notes to me.
