Joining @loved_letters_ with the poetry prompt:
"I bake______ and I am ______"

I bake bread and I am home.
Where the dough yields
under my hands in a warm plie.

Where chubby hands cling to my
knees and a bubbly voice reads
The Cat in the Hat.

Where, intoxicated with the lilting
aroma seeping from the oven, we dream
of that first hot slice slathered with honey

Do you wonder if God is listening to your prayers

Do you wonder if God is listening to your prayers when so many go unanswered?⁣
⁣
“Be the answer to someone else’s prayers,” became the balm for my disappointed heart when my own prayers went unanswered. ⁣
⁣
While it helped in the wait, nothing soothes an anxious heart like knowing your prayers are heard by God.⁣
⁣
Many times, the greatest ache of unanswered prayers resides in wondering if God even heard your cry.⁣
⁣
We all carry unanswered prayers in our hearts. The longer they remain unanswered, the more we wonder if God listens to our requests.⁣
⁣
Join me on the blog for my new post, "Your Prayers Are Heard", where I explore living with unanswered prayer and finding God's presence there. Link in bio!

When @vesselsoflight released the theme of their A

When @vesselsoflight released the theme of their Advent Journal, I was overjoyed.⁣⁣
⁣
Advent holds a special place in my heart with its theme of Light overcoming darkness.⁣
⁣
I am privileged to have my poem, "The Light of Men" included in this exquisite publication alongside so many gifted writers.⁣
⁣
Sharing just a sneek peak on this post, but I would treasure the thought of you reading my entire poem. Link in bio!⁣⁣
⁣
My heartfelt gratitude overflows to editor Alexis Ragan for her magnificent work and vision for this Journal.⁣
⁣
Please also take the time to read the other inspired words which will bless and enrich your Advent season.

Joining @loved_letters_ with the poetry prompt: "Take me back to the winter of"

Take me back to the winter of innocence
where snowmen smiled crooked smiles and
snow angels carpeted the lawn.

Take me back to the winter of warm
wool mittens and cozy cups of cocoa
in red and white Santa cups.

Take me back to the winter of new
ice skates and sled races down Creepy Ed’s hill.

Take me back to the winter when Mom still
smiled when we came home.

Joining @loved_letters_ with the poetry prompt: "If I could bottle this scene in a snow globe"

If I could capture this
moment in a snow globe,
time would stand frozen
as the glitter flakes gilded
love and laughter
of a family once one —
Where joy limned the walls
with wonder and the
sparkle in every eye betrayed
delight in belonging

If I could capture this
moment in a snow globe,
my heart would no longer
throb with the doleful echo
of loss.

Winter peace
a soothing embrace
of sacred silence —

filling me with hope.
