Bounty Inside

There is a forest
In the heart, with creatures great
And small, frolicking
Within, much happiness for
All who have a home in joy
Where there can be peace
Present through lakes, flowers, trees,
Grasses grown so tall
With bright, shining skies above
All wrapped up in constant Love.

Living there, the squirrels,
Deer, turtles, beavers, and birds
Cavort still carefree
When even in darkest night
Hope is found streaming great Light,
Promise of new life
Everything that may become –
No fear, plain delight,
God’s creativity on
Display, clear reality.

Catching Up A Little

I am sharing journal pages written over a few days.

There are pages in between these I open to you, Dear Born. Some of them are too negative to allow here. Things have been in turmoil.

Prompt: I have been experimenting. Your turn, try out something new. If you wish, 😉 share it with the world. I did, and you can, too.

Someone invited me to write a book with them, stay tuned, and we shall see what happens. Fear, with some of my paranoia, comes calling when I think of the project.

Gratitude List

I am thankful:
1. I have supportive friends and family.
2. Love exists.
3. The Lord God created such an exquisite world.
4. We are creative.
5. There are safe harbors to be found in times of desperation.

Maybe you have things you are grateful for as well. When we look around, there are so many things we have now that were once only dreams. Perhaps you can make a list.

Thank you for the generous gift of your time. If you found something here that touched your heart ❤️, please follow, like, mention, and share.

May Love be your chaperone wherever you go and whatever you may do. God be with you eternally.

Always and Evermore,
Jo Ann

Charity

The dove flew onto the ledge outside the window and cooed so softly it was almost a suggestion rather than a song. Charity heard the sweet sound and turned to look at the bird. Somehow its appearance seemed a grace.

She smiled a little, then a bit more, the lift reaching her green eyes. Charity was a stranger to these sterile rooms and the dove felt like a warmer welcome. Something less a problem than what she was going through.

How did one acclimate being taken miles and more, states, from home? Being was strange without the familiar things that kept her comfort when the world was too much to bear.

A few bags, some devices, were her packing for a week, maybe two – not months. She had trusted the situation would be temporary. How had it come to this?

Little dove, ah Love!

Truly!

Today, and most times, I am amazed at the glorious around, within, outside, about us. The world we have is astounding.

Prompt: Take a deep breath! Pick one thing in your environment that makes you smile. Create something to allow others to experience it as you do.

We have instant access to such an abundance, and miracles happen consistently. Technology puts magic at our fingertips. There is no limit to what we can create.

What are you grateful for today? List at least five things, or more if you wish.

Who do you need to share your Love with today? All sentient beings deserve recognition but focus on one of them all.

May the Lord surround you in abundant blessing now and evermore.
