Revival in Late Winter

And I’ll say to myself, “You have plenty of grain laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry.”
But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?’

Luke 12:19-20

Revival in Late Winter

Goodbye evening stroll under leafy laze,
                                                    the repast is gone.
A communion feast, unbridled; the bride,
                                                     exquisite; a swan.
Draw hither to praise, dulcet and heartfelt;
                                            humble chorale rejoice.
The nights last four moons long - joyous reborns’
                                                 one vivacious voice.
Christ’s train fills the sanctuary; approach,
                                        don’t back up, come near.
With anointing of the Holy Spirit,
                                             there’s nothing to fear.
Revival in late Winter, with no snow,
                                              so spring to your feet.
Clap your hands, open and dim your eyes; see
                                                 light without retreat.
Though Sundays will linger, through precious days,
                                 we’re blessed;  the roof, raise.

Wow, this reads like a hymn or a church carol. You have created such divine vibes. Clap hands with springing steps! This rightly expresses the joy and rising spirit in the celebration of the communion feast. Your rhyming is so clever, dear Kim. Greatly enjoyed.

Dear Kim, I came for my devotional this morning and look what I found. This is so rich with reverence and renewal, each line lifting like a hymn to God. The imagery of revival, light, and unshaken faith is beautifully written. Your words are filled with joy and holy anticipation. What a powerful and uplifting piece! Now I can start my day. Winter Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel
