At Home With God

1. Soft pastel curtains that flow in the breeze
on my kitchen window that frames lovely trees.
A sweet scent of FLOWERS, pink, yellow and blue.
Birds chirping, as over the flowers they flew.
The rustle of leaves ever gentle and mild.
I paused by my window to watch for a while.
A beautiful butterfly, bright orange in hue
flew onto my rosebush all covered with dew.

2. Then came a yellow and black butterfly
fluttering its wings as it soared through the sky.
A tiny brown chipmunk chirped on the ground
while a lady bug flew without making a sound.
This scene was as CHEERFUL as any could be 
bestowed from God’s love and desire to please me.
He carefully monitors everyone’s life
to lovingly guide them and free them from strife.

3. He made all creation to heal and bring joy
to our bodies and senses in hopes we’ll employ
our talents and all of the gifts that He gave
ensuring for loved ones a rich life we’ll pave.
My kitchen then burst with AROMAS and vim,
of freshly brewed coffee that soon was to brim
from loveliest teacups of china and gold
with colorful flowers I loved to behold.

4. I delightfully passed the whole morning in peace,
reflecting on all of the gifts of God’s grace.
I rested, enjoying my YARD and my home,
and chose not to wander or aimlessly roam.
God sent so much wonder and pleasure to me,
surrounding my life with the beauty I see.
Often when weary or not at our best,
we tend to go searching to end our unrest.

5. But sometimes the happiness we’re looking for
is really no farther than our very front door!
So try and find God close to HOME every day
where He often is hidden in an elusive way.
He waits to embrace you with hope and with love
to grant you the gifts you've been dreaming of!

“How wonderful to know that you 
are thinking about me constantly.”  
(Psalm 139:17)
