Natural Order

I stopped by a lake today.

Ducks were feasting on a banquet that waited just below the surface.

God provided. My heart applauded.

I’m not sure why I struggle to get all of my ducks in a row.

That is not the natural order of things.

I will rest where God leads me each day.

I will feast on His bountiful provision.

I will rejoice.  My heart will applaud with thanksgiving.

Lyrical

Traces of the sunrise linger.

Thin branches, silhouetted against a baby blue sky,

display an abundance of newly budding leaves.

A young male Cardinal confidently bursts forth in song.

His bright red plumage defies the shadows

and reflects the glory of a new day.

I’m embracing the approaching season of new growth.

I’m absorbing the peace of promised provision.

I will sing a new song ….
