I have denied you.
When I look, will I find you?
I’ll smile if I do.

Just now I awoke.
Dreamy paths took me your way.
It was a sweet ride.

A gracious host and hostess are kindness and charity.
But we all know that where the heart is, only lightening dwells.

He admonished me today.
For losing sight.
For talking with false gods.
For seeking their comfort first, or even second.
“That’s not fair to any of us.”

I agreed to take anew His hand.

Proverbs 29:18

He is.
My big cat posing as a kitten.

What happens to you at night?
Howling your songs?
Imparting your well-read, thoroughly practiced wisdom?
Pacing room to room, lapping up ingredients for tomorrow’s lunch?

My cat.
I smile as I fall asleep, thankful for your noise.

“Smile.”
“No, I’m too…for pictures!”
“TOO Bad. I just took yours -and no you’re not, you’re perfect. Perfect.”

I glanced at her, this post-baby lady -one on her hip, one at her feet, one on the field- with stretchy cotton dress, good-enough ponytail and thought, he’s right.

Time stopped. My smile met his smile. With an admiring heart, I gave him my best thumbs up.
