As a deer pants for flowing streams, so pants my soul for you, O God.
Psalm 42:1 (ESV)

Waking up in this new land
Bathed by glory, there we stand
Greeting friends and family too
Full of life, our dreams made true
A gladness rests inside my heart
Then spills beyond to do its part
Of making friends and wishing well
To those with health and those more frail

It strikes me that God gives us two hearts.
One that beats about 100,000 times a day with stunning precision.
And another that helps us express love and care for others through compassion, mercy, truth, generosity, and more.
All reflections of the heart of our God.
This poem is a reflection on the stages in chapters of life and encourages us to make the most of every day by putting God at the center of our lives. It's also about finishing well and not allowing our past mistakes and pains to dominate our current day.

Help me not to overlook
The beauty I sometimes forsook
Help me slow and present be
So I can hear much more from Thee

Sanctify my life this day
Still my mind in every way
Grow me into what You dreamed
To live a life by You redeemed.

Will I admit when I fall short
And better watch how I comport?
Gratitude is powerful medicine. It shifts me from a focus on self to others and God.
Gratitude points out from me
To Another I can't see
Now more thankful than before
My mind no longer is at war
Letters to my next of kin
Leave a trail of where I've been
All the things I've said and done
All the prizes that I've won
All the houses that I built
And all my comforts stacked like quilts

I've worn this path, I've heard it all
No need to pray and cause a stall
Then on my way a hurdle came
A mountain tall that had no name
