Three out of four of the devotionals I read yesterday and today had the word TRUST as one of the main topics. Everytime I see the word trust, I draw a rectangle around it and affirm, “I Can Trust.” Today I decided to write about TRUST in my journal, “I Can and I Will, Watch Me.” My mind just thought about it in a Haiku format. Here’s what the result was:
I CAN Trust
I know I can trust – The world may feel chaotic, But I reclaim peace.
Unsettling events, An unknown future, Don’t define my mood.
I am claiming peace. I see where my power lies: It’s trusting in God.
What I want in life, Peace, love, joy, kindness and faith, Are mine when I trust.
I know I can trust In the Ruler of my heart To heal what’s broken.
Heal the world’s chaos, Bring back Unity for all. I can trust my God!
Thinking of you and sending love your way. Trusting Him to guide you and me through the storms of life. What storms are you facing?
I took my sermon notes as a series of Haiku today in church. Let me share those notes with you. It was a wonderful message delivered by our interim pastor, Brian Conklin.
Live in unity Choose love over labeling Walk in the spirit
Be a peacemaker Listen to one another Hear others’ stories
Share humanity See Christ’s imprint in others Exhibit goodness
Show agape love It’s the highest form of love Unity and grace
Two hundred forty Plus nine years ago there was Freedom declared here
Our nation declared One land – indivisible But, we divided
We let politics Rule over our heart, soul and Our identity
We need freedom TO Exercise our highest good Not just freedom FROM
We need open hearts Hearts that seek to heal others Not drive them apart
Stop all the fighting Show love, not hated discord Celebrate freedom
Hear one another Just lift one another up Be calming healers
Unoffendable Means listening openly Try understanding
Openly share faith Faith in each others’ goodness Hope for our future
Live in hope and peace Just be unoffendable Wear love on your sleeve!
Thank God for His angels in my life!Never alone! Nice to know, isn’t it?This angel was a gift in 2013… thank you, Angel Sue!
I begin each day up in this place with Guideposts’ Mornings with Jesus. Been doing that for 20 years. What a gift this space is!
My sanctuary is filled with angels!
It’s a perfect place to begin each day. Jesus is there. The Holy Spirit speaks to me. The collection of angels and crosses remind me of Christ’s sacrifice … His gift of grace to us all. What a blessing that space and those angels are! Come visit us. We’d love to share the peace with you.
