The Dandelion stood in the middle of the lawn Yellow petals reaching to the sun. Day after day it fluttered in the breeze. Then one day an explosion happened, The wind gentle at first Rushed across the lawn. The dandelion bent its fluffy head and Thousands of tiny seeds Flew off on an adventure. Each one carrying life. Delicate but life filled. Are you a dandelion? Pregnant with life. With seeds With spiritual life for others. Let the wind of the Spirit blow through you Let y

I chose you to be my adopted son, Yes its true, all the work has been done. Your name written in heaven's book,  Let me show you, let's have a look.   Really, there is no room for doubting it, No longer an outcast or a misfit, Given a name marked out as royalty, A reward, my child, for all your loyalty.   Yes, bought out of slavery, redeemed, Something that you never would have dreamed. And now with Holy Spirit in you sealed, Prostrate on your face, have you kneeled.   And no

The old oak kitchen table Stood on the uneven floor. She slid down the bench seat. Rubbed her hands on the table top. She smiled and remembered. The day her 2-year-old grandson Had danced on the tabletop. The day her whole family had played Monopoly How they had laughed and complained How her youngest usually won. The Sunday morning her future son-in-law Asked for her beautiful daughter’s hand in marriage. When her crazy friends had a posh tea party. The tears, the laughs, th

Love..... It is the true element found in everyday. Love..... It is found in everything we do and say. Love..... It is there even if we try to hide it away. Love..... It is wherever it intends to stay. Love..... it is the human vibrational energy. Love..... it is necessary but often not easy. Love..... it is our own story on our own journey. Love..... It is the greatest thing we can give away. Love..... It is both painful and happy. Love..... it is often the price we have to

Here at the table, we come Invited by the King of Kings To come and feast with him Taking rest from our troubles. Here we have come to His table Where the Lion and the lamb meet All are welcome to take their place The Friend, Foe, and stranger sit. There is space and more spare chairs No settings or reservations necessary For God has already set a place for us So, come sit, enjoy being in his company. When at His table, put down our phones Switch off our other electronic dev

Perhaps I’m too proud Perhaps I’m too loud  Perhaps I’m afraid of  standing out from the crowd   Perhaps I’m too tall Perhaps I’m too small Perhaps I’m afraid  of bringing my all   Perhaps I’m too tired Perhaps I’m too wired  Perhaps I’m afraid I’m gonna be fired    Perhaps I’ll forget  Perhaps I’ll regret  Perhaps I’ll just run up  masses of debt   Perhaps I won’t know  Perhaps it won’t grow Perhaps it'll just be  a flop of a show   But perhaps I’ll be braver  than my thinki

The watchman stood on the wall. He looked out to the horizon. Yes alert Watching Seeing Observing Sometimes it was hard being alone. Other times it was good. Then He saw it. A little bit of dust Kicked up in the distance. Just where the Land and Sky meet! He was alert He continued to watch Yes, it was getting bigger. Was it the wind? No It was! It was! Horsemen? Who were they? More alert than ever He continued to watch Then He saw it The colours. Not friendly colours So, He p

The heat was intense She had a sore back But She kept going. Her mother-in-law needed food. All day All hot day. Then one of the men came over. He said, “Boss says come and eat.” She followed shyly Not sure. She knew she didn’t fit. She sat at the far end of the table Hoping to hide in the noise of food. He smiled at Her That was all. Just as She got up to leave He said, “Stay in our fields You will be safe here. My girls will protect you. No man will come near.” She nodded A

The mighty Oak stood in the corner of the field. Its branches reaching to the azure, blue sky. She looked at its majestic beauty And wondered? How could something so strong and beautiful have grown here? It was in the corner of a long-forgotten field. A long-neglected garden. Yet it had quietly continued to grow. Through storms Lightning, thunder and rain. The relentless rain. The mind-numbing snow The twinkling frost. All of nature’s fury But also, the warming rays of the su

She struggles through the shopping. She doesn’t want to be here But She knows everyone wants a part of her She hides behind a mask. She knows just what to say But they don’t understand Her pain. They don’t know the empty, hollow hole at the centre of Her. She can hide in a crowd She can make everyone else feel good But who notices Her She copes, well, they think She does She just gets on and does what is expected of Her All around She observes life But frequently She does not

Today is the next day of your life You have a choice It can be good. It can be interesting It can be wonderful Or you can cope with it or not Just because it isn’t what you wanted Doesn’t mean it’s not for you. A beautiful garden begins in the dirt. The destruction of what was previously there. The stones are removed, The grass pulled out The weeds killed and removed. This leaves a bare patch of ground. Then the planner comes in. He hears what the client wants. He goes away,
