to set our hearts on things above

do you know your worth
do you see your value
do you know you are highly favored
do you have hope
do you have peace
do you
what is your why
did you rise with the light
has the light dimmed inside
angry again
did you let it go
will you finally forgive
do you know your worth
do you see your value
do you know you are highly favored
does fear guide you
is unrest your norm
what do you worship
and what of love
did you lock up your heart
is love pain free
what makes your cry
where does the sorrow come from
do you feel
do you know your worth
do you see your value
do you know you are highly favored
are you free
are you waiting
are you remembering
where do you look
where is your comfort
where is your healing
how are you doing
really
is there color in your step
a reason to see a new day
something to live and die for
do you know your worth
do you see your value
do you know you are highly favored
Morning workout at the gym… check! Taking time to give thanks for a new day and enjoy a sunrise… check! Have a great weekend. “The nook” is a nickname for my home town, Minooka, IL. Thanks for stopping by.
gentle words are a tree of life* is there gentleness in your heart today kindness in your soul meekness in the tones of your voice
what impact do we have on others do we justify the very attitude in us that we condemn in others do we demonstrate the very hate we call out in others gentle words are a tree of life
are we willing to love before we declare how right we are do we see our blindness as we call out for justice and judgement all the while marginalizing diminishing tearing down feeling so good all because we possess unquestionable wisdom gentle words are a tree of life
and pride will be our ruin each of us deceived holding out our torch of truth for others beckoning the world to listen and follow content with the darkness inside our hearts gentle words are a tree of life
Just a few images of light and color. November is being rather kind by sharing mild temperatures. The Illinois River and my home are the locations for these images. Thanks November!
This post could also be called, “variations on a theme.” I got out by 5:00 am and enjoyed chasing the sunrise along the shore. The ocean waves were singing, the sky was just dancing… a beautiful start to the day…
