“There are far better things ahead than any we leave behind.”
C.S. Lewis, author
Another Christmas has come and gone,
I pray that the kindness and joy live on.
I don't do resolutions, instead I choose a word,
Something that resonates with me, striking a deep-souled chord.
This year the word is awareness--in both physical and spiritual ways.
I choose to be aware of "nudges", the glimmers God sends each day.
He doesn't spell it out for me, I have to stay awake.
To notice the rainbow at sunset or the light upon a lake.
In the past, accidents avoided and the scary nights survived,
All these things I remember and see them as lessons applied.
I thought back then, I was abandoned by God, left alone to cope.
As time went by, I realized it was God's presence that gave me hope.
The little spark that kept me trying,
Even though I felt like crying,
Helped to make me resilient and strong,
Because God was with me all along!
As you can see, Miss B enjoys the moments as they occur,
Even the tie of my robe can have an effect–it raises her fur.
She uses my word, “aware” every minute.
Doesn’t miss a trick, if it’s happening, she’s in it!
Beautiful, Connie, thank you. To live in the moment and be aware helps me focus on what is important. Thank you for your inspiration. Sandy M.
