A Perfect Pause 
I’m going to pause and I’m going to see You!
I’m going to take a pause and meditate.
I’m going to pause and ponder how great is the coming of Christ!
How awesome are the footsteps of those who follow the path!
The journey is not easy, even hard, yet glorifying to God!
Sending love Your way today, God, as I pause and pray.

Insight 

Profundities and proverbs shed light on life’s circumstances.
One can take delight in their complexities, combined they are wisdom.

Sometimes, the words glow, glisten as they spark the aha, the understanding.
Oh, how I wish My children would listen, if they did they would hear a whisper.

Hearing My whisper is a miracle indeed!
It is quiet, soft spoken, yet strong to the hearer.

Some would call it Authority, some All Knowing.
But all recognize it’s relevance, the Truth it’s telling.

I beg you to listen, lean in, and hear Me!
I am calling you.  I am here.  Come closer.

Wonders I see

Across the fruited plane a pandemic brings us to our knees.
We pause, we shelter where it’s safe to breathe.
Then environmentalists notice the air is cleaner, unpolluted are the streams!

In the street a man cries “I can’t breathe!” because of the knee of hatred and bigotry.
Now many take to the streets crying for change.
Once and for ALL the decision must be made we will no longer participate in racism and cruel deeds!

I saw the International Space Station pass overhead last night, what a wonder with astronauts in flight!
Now, the sun rises on what this new day could be where justice, equality, and community are one, we are ALL truly FREE!
Let’s not blow this opportunity we have just about won.

The Creator noticed a darkness, a void and God spoke order into the chaos.
First the earth, then the animals, and the people were last.
We have another chance to get it right.

Could it be that it’s love, love -the wonder I see? (c) 2020 Dana Cook

I was remembering back to a moment in time when my mother was still alive here on earth, it was about six months before she passed.  Mom was pretty feeble at this point and conversations with her had become a thing of the past. 
I was sitting beside her at the table after lunch and she had been staring off at the wall for several minutes when I felt compelled to ask her, “Mom, what do you see?” Mom turned her face toward mine and she exclaimed, “Oh, I see a beautiful place!” This startled me because Mom hadn’t been able to complete a full sentence for many months now.

After Mom’s initial response, she turned her face back toward the wall and stared again for a moment.  She then turned her face back toward mine and said, “And there are a lot of people there!” Now, I’m still sitting there shocked that she had spoken all of this to me when she turned her face back toward the wall and then quickly turned her face back toward me and said quite calmly, “And they ALL seem to be okay.” Realizing that God was showing her Heaven, I said to my mother, “And you will be okay there, too, Mom.” After remembering this, God spoke these words to me to share with you all:

For God is the Circumventor and this is part of His beautiful design.

We cannot see what’s in each other’s minds but we can all feel the love of the Great Divine.

This love is real and in us all, ready to reveal His will - His will for Eternity with Him. -Can you see it? (C) 2020 Dana Cook

“Faith”
Seeing this space reminds me of a place that I used to go.
Remembering what once brought joy is no longer the same.
But, God will get me through this and onto the other side
Where happiness is and love resides!
