Olden Days of Autumn

There’s a beauty that steeps on the inside
When teacups are tipped and sipped long
Table talks ‘til the break of dawn
As long as the teapot’s in song

The water that boils is endless
One cup tints another for you
Whistling old tunes that reach to the moon
At nights end we are drinking pure dew …

Olden autumn memories

The Freedom of Forgiveness


When we are betrayed; we are deeply wounded. We feel hurt. Oh what to do with the painful feelings. We can hold on to them and compound the pain; or we can let go and let God take on the pain. Oh what a freeing choice it is, to forgive someone who has hurt you; as He does. God can turn all that sadness into joy once again. We can live in freedom, peace and happiness, by not holding a grudge.
Jesus Himself, endured the most crushing of all betrayals; as he lay dying on the cross for all of our sins. By doing this He gave us new life; victory over sin and death. “Jesus loved us so much. He sent His only son that whosoever believeth in Him Shsll have everlasting life.” John 3-16
He sent us Holy Spirit to lead us in power. A new way of life and living. One free from the weight and bondage; that is much too heavy to bear. Living with Christ and His perfect love in our hearts, is a life God intended for you. A life filled with happiness and joy!

Philippians 3-13-14
“Brethren I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do; forgetting those things which are behind reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

Have a grace filled, weightless day,
