Catching Some Z’s

~ Elizabeth W. Marshall ~ 8 Comments

Today is Day 20. To  read the collective tiptoe over here for other words. Today’s word is Laughter. And Rest.  A double portion for your weekend.

Hope you are able to rest a bit in His Grace and Mercy this day and every day.Catch some Z’s and LAUGH.

Z’s

Z is zig zaggy.
Beats to his own drum.
With his horizontal, vertical, diagonal sweeps
Zooms in and out, looking for a word to join.
Poor Z, least used.
But Z can be so useful
Zipping up jackets, zesting lemons.
Z should zip his lips sometimes.
Gets too zealous and full of zeal.
Going on and on about zoology and zenzizenzizenzic.
Bragging about his membership in all those
Elite Greek clubs. Watch out Z.
There’s zeta phi and zeta mu and more.
Bu Z knows his place.
At the end of the line.
Hanging out.
‘Til he’s needed.

Catching some Z’s,  

Bring a gift of laughter, sing yourselves into his presence.

Proverbs 100:2

His Sheep

~ Elizabeth W. Marshall ~ Leave a comment

A word goes out.

Mumble returns.

A word goes out.

Mutttering comes back.

A question’s put forth.

Silence comes back.

A word is spoken.

Deaf ears receive.

Phrases fall from lips.

Response never comes.

And communication breaks down.

And Sheep keep getting fed.

Sometimes they stray.

Sometimes they bite.

Sometimes they wound.

And God’s love keeps pouring out.

Like sweet rain clears the murky pollen covered earth.

Cleansing, washing.

Love fresh and new.

My words may be feeble and weak and ineffective but the word of God….

Hebrew 4:12 — For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even in dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. {New International Version}

A SPRING BREAK PRAYER

Oh Lord,

Bless road, asphalt, side rail and median.

Guard Intersection, oncoming cars and trucks.

Guide hands on wheels and feet on gas, brake.

Watch over hands holding keys and hearts making decisions.

Walk along side in spirt and truth.

Temper actions with wisdom and discernment.

Protect body, mind, and spirit from harm.

And return to open arms of family

We pound on the door of heaven,

We boldly and humbly ask,

In your Son’s name,

Amen.
