ADD TO MY FAVORITES
of the winds of time
are only destructive
to buildings
whose foundations
are made up of sand.
While the whirlwind
of grains
were yet stinging my face,
I learned:
It throws one off balance
to step forward
while looking backward
and it's never too late
to tear down
the old
and build up anew.
Better yet,
find new shelter,
altogether,
in Him who is
The Holy Foundation.
With those winds,
so changes desire;
Inhaling only hope
for a brighter
tomorrow,
a more prosperous day,
something better,
more love,
more fame,
or even something so simple
as more roses
leaves little room
in one's lungs
for an air of contentment
on the pathway that is
this very moment.
Be still
and breathe Him in,
now,
should the sun
not rise again
for your eyes.

All scriptures -- NIV:
Matthew 7:26-27 "But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain cam down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash."
I Timothy 6:6-7 But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it.
Psalm 46:10-11 "Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth." The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress. Selah

and breathe Him in,
now,
This line made me stop and think and take a deep breath of Him.
