Love Your Neighbor

Posted on by Leonas Lines

Welcome sign in neighbor’s yard

Hospitality

Speaks in many languages

Reaches out to those

Who take the time

To stop and listen

Syllabic Verse

On my walk today, just across the way, I stopped to take this photo of a sign in my neighbor’s yard. Something very nice but unfortunately unusual to see nowadays.

Walking in Faith

Posted on by Leonas Lines

Brown leaf cracked

Is a burden wearing you down,

Like a heavy gown,

A weighted cloak or heavy yoke?

Are you being oppressed,

Or being tried to be blessed?

Is it just a test,

Or the enemy’s cruel jest?

Time and faith will tell,

If it’s from heaven or hell.

Revival

Leaf in the wind drawing
“leaf in the wind” drawing by LeonasDesigns

My mind wasn’t focused on You

Like a leaf in the wind

It swirled and twirled

And got carried away

To wander in places of doubt

Coming to rest on the fence of indecision

Caught in the fear of unknown

Where it began to wither away

Without purpose

Until the force of Your divine breath

Caused it to stir, awaken, and break free

To soar to higher places

And sit in the heavenlies

At Your feet

Soaking in the truth of Your word

Now it’s a mind renewed

To do good works

And walk in Your Spirit on earth

It no longer wanders aimlessly

Blown by winds of uncertainty

For it awaits resurrection

Where it will live forever

On the tree of life.
