He'll stick with you,
until you get it.
Until the realization
washes over you,
filling your spirit
with assurance that
eludes understanding.

-And you'll laugh
like I did,
by a backyard pool,
with my daughter in my arms-

when your burdens
have been lifted,
and your doubts
have all been sifted,
and like dissolved
chaff they've drifted.

You will know that
HE was with you/
thought its only now
you get it.

I surely relate to this one!  So long I wondered where He was, then the dawn comes showing me He was always there, but, duh, where was I that I couldn't see it?  Thank you.

YeshuJah,
  How imperceptive we are at times, only to later realize the comfort of His presence and blessings we there all the time- we just failed to recognize them.  How wonderful it is- those times when our eyes are opened, and our hearts are so immediately lightened as a result. Thank you for sharing this with us,   David


WOW- another day of life-and here among friends!
Ain't God Grand!

YeshuJah~
A lovely piece to remind us that He's there ... always.
Sometimes we just need to open our hearts and our eyes to Him.

Yeshujah: So wonderfully do you describe your encounter with God. I am so happy for you that you have had this experience. Ellie

Summers haunting melody
that awakens
the butterflies,
calling them to join
the dance
in their silent song
of praise to God.

Oh have I been there. And you've described it so well. So many times, I guess I failed to recognize it only to look back to find He was there always.

But thank God we do come to that realization, and that He has the patience He does with us.  This brought a nice warm smile to face and heart this morning.

I liked the image of you laughing by the pool with your little one in your arms when it all dawned on you.  Such Joy in understanding, Bob <><
