my favourite things/how do you colour joy

Today it is blends 
of soft greens turning golden 
pink reds 
and oranges 
blending in a dance called 'splendor'
as leaves twirl 
and pirouette 
to the forest floor 

It is greens 
bleached into whites 
set bold 
against the mottling of tree bark 
fallen cones 
squirrel treasure cashes...
  
How does one colour joy?


it is the colour of my Saviour's love
spilled out for me 
long ago
on that Calvary hill


and now spread daily

like a feast
before my eyes

wherever I look 
I see its colours
my heart takes in
this amazing palette

make my life a canvas

Oh Lord
 

open my eyes 
to see your colours
guide my brush
to make a masterpiece



that my life
might show forth
Your glory
and

Majesty

my favourite things/ my blogger friends

He has gone ahead to prepare a mansion
a room for me
and you
the window view
will be perfect
the Light
will never dim
His glory all around us
will be our life in Him

there will be no tomorrow
only today
that never ends
and Him in radiant glory
with all His promises
come true

the laughter will be pure
infectious all around
no sorrow
never sadness
only joy
for me and you

…and if there is a haystack
you, my friends, will be there too
