Sunlight. Clouds. A gentle breeze … a soft wind.
The waves go slowly to the seashore.
Alone I sit, contemplating, meditating, wondering, wishing…
God. Love. Faithfulness. Oh, the beauty of nature:
the blue mountains, sun rays shining through the clouds.
A Father, a Giver, a Life Fulfiller. His radiance fills my otherwise empty heart.
Friends, lost and far away, some nearby, some come to stay… but most, each go their own way.
A gentle breeze, a quick flash and time is gone. Things come then go. Some last a little, others just disappear.
Families, children, laughter and tears … what fills the heart after many years?
Meaningless, says the writer of Ecclesiastes… but is all really vanity? Is there nothing worthwhile? What is?
Self-gratification, pride, satisfaction, fame, glory, and respect… my flesh constantly seeks
Humility, purity, integrity, honesty, love for others, service to all, glorify the One who made us
Shadows, a chilly thought, goose bumps rise up the spine…
sin, looms around me, wanting everything to be mine…
yet some things are meaningless, and some are not…
may my life reflect those things Father has taught!
