Oh
Lord,
if
I
Start
Now
And
Don’t
Stop
I
May
Be
Ready
For
Thanksgiving
By
Thanksgiving
And
Christmas
By
Christmas
But
Then
Again
I
May
Not
Be
So
Today
I
Will
Pray
Prepare
And
Thank
And
Look
At
This
One
Beautiful
Day
With a Thanksgiving Christmas Heart.
Which
Should
Be
The
Posture
Of
My
Soul
Daily.
Join
Me?
Lining
Up
My
Moments
In
A
Posture
Of
Prayer
And
Praise.
Catch
Me
Lord
I
Am
Running
Straight
Into
Your
Arms
And
From
The
World.
Oh
Lord
Hide
The
Storefronts
From
My
Heart.
Prepare
My
Heart
For
Christ
Alone.
And
Help
Me
Celebrate
Simply
The
Joy
Of
Now.

amen…amen…and I love…love these pictures 🙂
I want to bottle that energy and joy and love for this life that these growing children have. They keep my happy going strong. And they do bring an aging woman joy.
Love this. Love.
Love to you, as I pray.
Praying and thanking Him for friendship and poetry.
wonderful, encouraging and full of energy.
Oh how I long to feel energized and set free from the anxiety of this world. Longing to fall into His arms. And stay there.
beautiful! the season is upon us and our hearts need to be open to what all He has for us the next few weeks.

That’s what I desire too!
Eilleen, we can desire that together.This season is so wonderful but sometimes it can overwhelm. Want to stay focused, solely on Him this year. Thanks for what you do for writers and bloggers on Tuesdays at your place. It wonderful.
I need to simply celebrate the joy of now for sure 🙂
Lori, I was writing words to myself I believe, but I am glad they resonated with you. The joy of the now is fragile. I do look forward to Thanksgiving and to Christmas and to savoring that too. I struggle with things being a blur if I don’t pay close attention to the now. Love having you here. Privilege.
