Cape Hope ~ Sunday Whirl

🌞⛪🌞

We were wonderland-bound

a place called Cape Hope…

each of us desperately needed

hopeclarity, peace, direction

a future that offered more

than we’d experienced last year…

when we arrived noonday sun

was blindingly bright, glittering

on every inch of packed snow, ice–

we passed three churches

before seeing the one we’d chosen

by way of same dream we’d

had in past month–

it was hardly more than a chapel

yet the Cross in the window

above the altar embraced

entire interior, the mosaic

fairly vibrating with colors…

we were on our knees

heads bowed, mute tears

coursing down our cheeks–

Everything will be alright…

these were words we heard

from the Voice within silence…

Sovereign God of grace, mercies

ever-faithful throughout the ages…

His hand was turning the wheel–

~ Cale

Words from Max Lucado

“In the book of Esther, it’s as if God,

in His kind providence, heard all the prayers

of all the souls who have ever been stuck

in an arctic January.

To every person who has longed to see

a green sprig on a barren branch, He says,

‘Follow Me.  I want you to see what I can do’.”

Max Lucado, author/pastor

(from his calendar: You Were Made For This Moment, Courage for Today and Hope for Tomorrow)

Would curses wound less

if they were unspoken?

Are blessings worth less

if left unspoken?

It’s the thought that counts

so the saying goes–

but kind words of truth

or ones which speak

genuine affirmation

can redeem a bad day

…even save a life

that’s falling away

~ Cale

Amplified Bible
“No weapon that is formed against you will succeed; And every tongue that rises against you in judgment you will condemn. This [peace, righteousness, security, and triumph over opposition] is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, And this is their vindication from Me,” says the LORD. 

Isaiah 54:17
