His Wide Awake Love…
Greets me in the Son rising of my morning heart…
the light of the new day resurrects into the set aside day gone by.
A thing of the past.
The Monday that seems like a Tuesday-Wednesday-Thursday bundle…
is ready to run.
On your mark, get set, ready, go!

To ALL.

The savoring of those exclamation point moments…
Punctuating the Heart.

Peace is not the absence of the chaotic cacophony of the world that swirls about the soul…
But rather the knowing that I am holding the hand of Him who holds my life in His within the midst of the din.
Yes this is Peace.
