Who were you
Back in those days
When dreams were
Freshly built
To last for a lifetime
On foundations strong?
Who are you
In this present day
Weary worn
Storm ridden
Yet still standing with your dreams
On foundations strong

Out of the Cocoon
Been there
Walking away
From that place I’ve tread
Looking for a new horizon
To rise
Unexpectedly right before me
With paths that lead upward
Promising a
Future

Fragile
Boxes
All shapes
And all sizes
Like people
They hold things inside
Secrets, treasures, dreams
Or maybe unwanted things like
Bitterness, unforgiveness
Handle all boxes with care because
They can be damaged inside and out

MONEY
Must have this.
One thing that is
Necessary for
Everything on earth
You plan to do.

As I was talking with a couple of my grandkids today, and listening to each of them tell me about their future hopes and dreams, this came to mind—MONEY.
Each plan, each action, each dream, they had depended on money. Money to finance a patent on an idea. Money to pay for a trademark, business promotion, etc, etc.
It is sad but true. So much of our future life depends on money, yet with God all things are possible, for He does not depend on money.
So I tell them if their plans, hopes and dreams are in line with what God has purposed for them, then He will make a way for it all to happen.
And with that knowledge and belief, they and any believer, can trust and expect that their future will be a good one that honors God and fulfills their dreams as well.
…The generation of the upright will be blessed. Wealth and riches will be in his house,… Psalm 112:2-3
“…with God all things are possible.”
Matthew 19:26
Where Are You?
Is there someplace you’d rather be?
Or are you in your comfort zone?
Are you settled or wanting to be free?
Is there someplace you’d rather be?
Seeking a dream or a vision you see?
Need help or like being alone?
Is there someplace you’d rather be?
Or are you in your comfort zone?
Triolet
Who am I?
I am a million thoughts,
Images and feelings,
Held together by hopes,
Dreams and will.
I am a broken heart,
Mending.
A dreamer, chasing.
A child, exploring.
I am youth and old age,
Combined in mind and body,
Held together by God.

Step by step
Little by little

One day at a time
