Hi.

“In this life you will have trouble, but fear not, I have overcome the world.”

This world and the part we play in it is beautiful. Yes, there is brokenness, but I want to look for the beauty of our redemption in it. The Lord has made all things new, even as He is in the process of making us new.

Join me in looking for the beauty in life through thoughts and poems. I am so glad you are here.

Nothing Today

Nothing Today

I got nothing done today

All I did was make breakfast

lunch and dinner

Washed up the kitchen

More than once

Just picked up toys

And bathed kiddos

I only sent some emails

And vacuumed the floor

I didn’t see anyone today

Except my kiddos

And kissed my husband

as he walked out the door

I only saw the chashier at the grocery store

And a mom at the park

I saw the preschool teacher

But only for a second

And only sent a few texts

Back and forth to my friend

I got nothing done today

But every minute was

And my family is safe

And our hearts are full

As well as our stomachs

And we laughed a little

And cried some too

I got nothing done today

But all this nothing adds up

to a whole lot of everything

And all these days of nothing and no one

Will lead to a life that was full of love

Healing and Hope

Healing and Hope

Beauty in the ordinary
