consistent glory

a simple reward at the close of the day 

is to catch the sun rays shining through the clouds

consistent glory

i was sitting at the table talking to friends

at the end of our garage sale, feeling tired but satisfied

when i saw the tip of those rays barely in view

i grabbed my camera, went in the backyard

and began to get as high as i could

i ended up climbing one set of stairs 

and another small stone rock way til i was in clear view 

i just stood there amazed.

what beauty!

my heart is thankful that as faithful as the sun is

in rising and setting each day

so is His goodness and care in my life.

this day marks an end of a chapter of our lives

many people downsize

but we took it one step further

we liquidated everything.

i have a strange peace and a lightness of heart  tonight

as i stood there watching those rays burst through the clouds

i thought i am blessed

i have nothing in this world

but i have everything i need.
