Walk, Watch, Listen...

​A field and a view,
upon the vast world do I ponder,
​I walk and contemplate
my smallness and wonder,
​What is in store this morning, my Lord?

Picture
Slow down,

why be in a rush,
let your soul catch up,
your mind slow down,
you have five senses now.




​Look closer.
Listen well.
​Feel the breeze.
Smell the trees.
​Whisper a prayer.

Walk with me Lord.
​Talk with me in the cool of the day.
Be present.
Be near.
​Cast away all fear.
​
Which path shall we walk
this morning dear Lord?
​Familiar and comfortable,
Stable and sure?
​I just want to be with You, Lord.

Two flowers that have grown together. They are one.

Come with me,
I am here.
There is nothing to fear.

​I've never taken this path before,
​around a blind turn, in the meadows path.
A storm is coming.
​They say take the high road;
yet we are in a valley.

Come with me,
I am here.
There is nothing to fear.
What do you see?

​I see my wife.
​Oh Lord rescue her from cancer, from despair!

The wind blows, the Spirit comes.
​Holy Spirit, pure, cool and strong,
shifting in uncertain directions.
Then calm.

​Slow down.
Do not fear.
I am here.

Take joy in the little things.
​"Today is all we have ever had" she says.

Peace.
Be Still.
And know that I am God!

As I opened the morning, this is the sign I saw. "Back to Life" through fire. Like the meadow, we too must go through fire to be purified and to grow. Jesus says, "follow me." I follow, expecting a beautiful morning walk in His creation, with Him in the cool of the day.  Jesus doesn't always lead us to easy paths, but they are good paths if He is with us.

Thank you so much for sharing this, Todd. I shared it with my dad because I felt he could relate to it after having lost my mom last year. It touched us both deeply.
