Prayer Thoughts.....

Not far, never far...a lovely thing
In the still of a Canadian winter night, country dark and waiting..."Stars over snow,
And in the west a planet
Swinging below a star ---
Look for a lovely thing and you will find it,
It is not far ---
It never will be far."
~Sara Teasdale

He gives the gifts close-up, never far, so we with poor soul-sight, can see.
Can see the lovely on a winter night, stars over snow.
They fall from above, inside and out, lace upon light.
Not far, never far...
We nibble tails and ears of cookie-cutter sugar bunnies,
and watch little candle wick dance, shadows in time too.
Not far, never far...
We read Winter Poems as the snow petals fall, as the lovely things pile high and deep.
Not far, never far.

Lord, my gratitude for bestowing the lovely things not far away. For you know the nearsightedness of this myopic heart. Press the lens of gratitude up to this soul, and let me see.

As we read, study and pray together, let this be our prayer,
