May your love becomea quiet chapelwhere grace learns your namesby heart. May laughter keep the windows open,forgiveness keep the fire lit,and tenderness return each nightlike prayer. When joy overflows,may you kneel in gratitude.When sorrow arrives,may you carry it togetherwithout fear. And through all your days,may God dwell gently between you,making one lifefrom two faithful hearts.… Read more

The big Lake is so vast, watching it for a week from the back deck gives barely a peek. Never the same yet always the same, the big Lake lends only a glance of its glory and mere imaginary wonder of its depth, heaving what seems to be entire tree on the morning shore from… Read more

Let Your light enter the hidden rooms of my heart,where fear has lingeredand old grief has built its dwelling. Speak there in the silence,where no human voice can reach,and let Your presence become my peace.

Only a small ripple moved outwardfrom somewhere unseen,widening across the dark surfaceuntil it disappeared into silence. Then the eastern horizonbegan to brighten. Not suddenly. A… Read more

Love is not always polite. Love does not always bowto comfort,or whisper only what we wish to hear. Sometimes love arriveslike a hand upon the shoulder,turning us gentlytoward a truth we would rather avoid. Sometimes love asks more of usthan we are prepared to give. Yet love never strips anotherof their dignity. Love does not… Read more

Lord Jesus,you promised nearness made permanent.You said you would comeas a homebuilder of the soul. Teach me what it meansin the quiet rooms of a human heart,furnished with weakness, longing, and unfinished faith. I confess how often I treat you as a guest,tidying up before prayer,hiding what feels unworthy,forgetting that love does not rent space,it… Read more
