Peaceful Ground

“Listen to the silence,

Winged songs at first light.

Rain drops lightly touch the ground,

Peaceful pastures nights.”


“He maketh me to lie down in green pastures…

He restores my soul.” Psalm 23:2-3 NKJV



“No one knows the depths of your soul then the One Whom shares your hearts secrets.”

Good Hope

“Pencil and rhyme together,

Lifting up my praise.

For in You, I have my heart, and

Good hope for all my days.”


“Uphold me according to Your Word,

That I may live; And do not let me be

Ashamed of my hope.”

Psalm 119:116 NKJV


Uphold me…resting upon the wings of the Dove.


Blessings,

Denise

Opened to Know

“I sought the LORD and He answered me.

His Holy fire opened my eyes to see.

To know His Name and declare His fame,

For His consuming LOVE set me free!”


“I sought the LORD and He answered me

and delivered me from all my fears.”

Psalm 34:4 ESV


Beginning a new,

Breaking of Bread

Good morning Lord,

Thank you for this day.

Set aside to celebrate,

And remember Your Faithful ways.

Although the shelves have been empty,

And lack covers our Land,

In Your tender Mercy,

You’ve provided abundantly from Your hand.

Welcome to our table,

Prepared and blessed by You.

Let us always give thanks, for we know,

Perfect Peace is found only in You.”

In Jesus Name, Amen


“So continuing daily with one accord…

They ate their food with gladness

And simplicity of heart,

Praising God…”

Acts 2:46-47 NKJV


Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!

Blessings,

Denise

Casting my Net

“Sun not up over the horizon yet.

The sea is quiet as I cast my net.

Reaching out into the depths of the day;

Lord,

Please, keep the winds of adversity at bay.

Speak, “Peace, Peace!” to the beating storms,

Peace, Peace!

For the prayers of the watchmen guard the shores long.

Under the covenant and mercy of You,

Casting my net to sail dreams of new.”


“Jesus shouted to them, “Throw your net over the starboard side, you’ll catch some!” And they did as He said, and they caught so many fish they couldn’t even pull in the net.” John 21:6 TPT


Delightfully sharing memories of one of the greatest joys of my heart, pilgrimage to Israel.

Strength Us


Good morning LORD,

El Ohiym, Adonai.

You never change, or ever lie.

Bring forth Your justice as the rising sun.

Our world is shaking, rocking, for each and every one.

Cause the evil hearts of men to turn to love instead;

For peace is found in freedom and not in fear and dread.

Lifting up those hurting, sick and displaced.

In Your care Lord, we place them for You alone are

The Creator of the whole human race.

Come Lord Jesus! We wait on You.

Strengthen us as You tarry,

For we place our trust in You.


“For my soul trust in You;

And in the shadow of Your wings I will make my refuge,

Until these calamities have passed by.”

Psalm 57:1 NKJV

Listening Heart

“Welcome in His Peace,

Softest flowing light.

For in Him there’s no striving,

Only quietness to the listening heart.”


“He will quiet you with His love,

He will rejoice over you with singing.”

Zephaniah 3:17 NKJV


“He’ll calm you with His love

And delight you with His songs.”

Zephaniah 3:17 The Message

Silver Wings


“Morning dew perfect,

Crisp air from Your breath.

Resting in You Lord,

You are my nest.

Wonderful, Counselor,

Gift from above.

Covering the earth, Lord,

Silver wings of a Dove.”


“I see You sparkling like silver and glistening like gold,

Covered by the beautiful wings of a dove.”

Psalm 68:13 TPT

Joyous Day!


“Frost on the pane;

Colors have changed.

Winter soon here;

Deer drawing near.

Leaves blow their way;

Joyous Thanksgiving Day!”


“Let us come before His presence with Thanksgiving;

Let us shout joyfully to Him with psalms.”

Psalm 95:2 NKJV


Our first cold morning. Blowing winds reminding the seasons are in change.

Blessings to you and your family this Thanksgiving Day!

Thankful Goodness

“My heart is filled with wonder, a good and pleasant theme.

Thanksgiving to my Savior, Who never, no, not once, forgot or abandoned me.

Thankful for His goodness, drawing me each day.

His beauty seen in nature; for He is the only way.

Sunrises on the morning,

Light in rainy days,

Protection when darkness hovers,

Correction when I’ve lost my way.

I’m thankful for Your Presence,

Immanuel with me.

For in Your Peace and Kindness,

My heart sings out to Thee!”


I will worship You, Yahweh, with extended hands as my heart erupts with praise!

I will tell everyone everywhere about Your wonderful works!

I will be glad and shout in triumph.

I will sing praise to Your exalted name, O Most High.”

Psalm 9:1&2 The Passion Translation


My family and I are celebrating Thanksgiving today as it is my son’s day off from work.

Blessings to you and your family as we embrace this week of Thanksgiving!

Entwining threads of hope to start “
