Ragtag Daily Prompt – RDP Thursday – Tiptoe

Word Of The Day Challenge – Gloomy

V.J.’s Weekly Challenge – Repercussions 

Sadje’s What Do You See #67 – Photo prompt

When my heart becomes

gloomy

my first instinct is to 

tiptoe

around the issue and 

pretend

that all is a well and good

facade

but I have painfully learned the

repercussions

of avoidance the darkness shall

reign

leaving my heart 

imprisoned

unable to walk into the

Light

if I do not embrace it in

Love

that turns the darkness into

Sunshine

and repetitive foolish choices into 

Wisdom

In times of deep darkness, we not only need light — we need to be light for one another.

Noticing that everything is interconnected, that love and light exist amid the darkness, and that not all is lost can nourish us on our paths.

The key word for our time is practice. We have all the light we need, we just need to put it into practice.

Light Of The Holy Hearth

Sunrise of the soul

will Light the darkest of

Winter days

melt a heart 

frozen

in bitter pain

angry and afraid

it will fill the 

emptiest loneliness

comfort a body’s

weariness

bring peace to

malevolence

heal a broken

spirit…

So then let us

shine

the Sunrise of our souls

one day at a time,

one moment at a time

to permanently extinguish

and bring serenity to

this world’s pandemic wildfire

V.J’s Weekly Challenge #110 – Smell – What is your relationship to smell? (Don’t tell me you didn’t know this was coming, lol.).  Look forward to reading your responses. Just create a post and link back here. All welcome.

Madness of nation’s darkness

moments of light

few and far between

soul’s embitterment

taste intolerable

attempting to recall

memories of sweet

failure brings surrender

powerlessness cloaks eyes

exhale…inhale…

smell transition’s aroma

just as nature’s 

change of season

a promise to trust

good shall rise up and

shine like Autumn’s brilliance

laying to rest 

death’s shadows

upon humanity.

God’s Promise For Today…

From:  365promises.com

Promise #220 – Saturday, August 8, 2020

Promise #220:
If you walk in the light, the blood of My Son Jesus will cleanse you from all sin.

1 John 1:7 (WEB)
But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light,
we have fellowship with one another,
and the blood of Jesus Christ, his Son,
cleanses us from all sin.

Word For The Day…

From:  Gratefulness.org

How did the rose ever open its heart and give to this world all of its beauty? It felt the encouragement of Light against its being; otherwise we all remain too frightened.
