The stairs are worn, the way is steep
The handholds long since gone
But time leaves enough to remember
The glimpse of green, the rush of air
That cleanses all and heals
My Savior waits for me and knows
The journey’s all in Him

Or rather, the round tower, but an Alice in Wonderland reference always seems good. 🙂
Hope there are no “drink me” signs about this morning for you, or stray Queen of Hearts looking for mayhem. Unless of course you’re looking for a bit of excitement; in which case, happy rabbithole hunting. Slainte, Lisa

The cool connection of the rocks on the window’s ledge….
The tower that continues to stand tall ……
The evergreen in its effortlessness….
Looking, looking still, looking always.

“The Light”
The walls are rough, time has done what it does
But the Light is sure and steady
The window calls out through the hardness
Come to the Light
The Light warms and comforts and illuminates
Time cannot touch it.

When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” ~John 8:12
Sometimes what remains after time is not what was. Actually, that is true almost all of the time. But what remains can be beautiful and the changes usually produce a tempered strength and new perspective.
The woman who has gone through years of heartaches and trials…her face has changed but there is wisdom and steadiness, true beauty in her eyes. She is beautiful.
The man who has faced day after day of work, the routine day in and day out, yet he perseveres in his great love for his family, his need to take care of them. The years have turned him from boy to man, and he is beautiful.
The home that used to be glossy new, but has faced rain, wind, children’s pounding toys, floods, and time. The old house now sits with graceful wisdom, having gone through family after family, holding their dreams, their hard times, their togetherness. It is beautiful.
Time will change all things, but it can be beautiful. “And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord’s glory, are being transformed, changed, into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.” ~2Corinthians 3:18
You are beautiful; shine today for God. You are made in His image. Blessings, Lisa
