Winding Roads

Monday Missive #97

A Poem: Winding Roads

Roads wind through my mind
Tracing center lines into the future,
Looking for lost memories
Of distant destinations
Along some unknown highway;
Only to find
Another curve to round,
Another hill to climb,
Another windmill to tilt.
Always moving
Along a endless road
Called tomorrow.

A Prayer: This Moment

My Lord and Christ,
enable me to place complete trust in you,
and so to live in the present moment.
For you are ever present in every moment.
Help me not to run ahead of you,
but to savor each moment as a gift from you.
Help me to be still, to soak up your presence.
And with every breath,
discover afresh the wonder
and greatness of your love.

A Passage of Scripture: For Reflection

You make known to me the path of life; 
you will fill me with joy in your presence, 
with eternal pleasures at your right hand.
— Psalm 16:11 NIV
