Beauty Day 46 Electricity

A neighborhood without power for one whole day

from wake-up through dinner

no lights

no Wi-Fi

no computer

no warm water

no heat

no comfort

one of the coldest days of the year

not like Alaska cold

but still cold for indoors

neighbors out walking

that’s a rare sight

not much else to do

driving home

rounding the corner

there’s my place

Lights!

Hallelujia! Hot coffee

and a warm bath

Beauty Day 45 An Exposed Pipe and Water in a Hole

The plumber was about ready to give up

and reroute the whole pipe

an expensive proposition

alone inside

I had a time of serious prayer

went out to turn off the water main

to save the leaking water

when

Eureka!

water in the hole the plumber had dug

indicating

that he should keep digging

perhaps

just a little bit more

Beauty Day 39 The Certainty of God’s Final Word

Time spent with the Lord

is time invested in

eternity

Fighting back

winter’s raw edge–

the soft seep of dawn

into the darkened space

Beauty is

the certainty of knowing

that God has

the final say-so.

and the Lord takes away

we are in a beautiful season of giving

Bless the Lord
