When I’m restless and
Cannot sleep, Jesus is near
Watching over me.

Lord Let Me Be
Leave a reply
Lord let me be the opal of your treasury;
A different yet lovely gem only you can see.
Lord let me be a delight to your compassionate heart
With a quiet gentleness which will never depart.
Lord let me be a unique creation of your hands
Formed with love and wisdom that only you understand.
Lord let me be a quiet person with a gentle soul
Which never desires to hurt or cause turnmoil.
Lord let me live in the meadow of your everlasting love
Where wildflowers bloom and peace rules like softly singing dove.
Lord let me be forever safe inside our outstretched arms
Where I always feel welcomed and sheltered from this world’s storms.
Lord let me be alive with hope of your everlasting grace
While waiting for your return when we’ll all see your shining face.
For it was you who had coaxed me and drew me ever nearer
By forgiving my sins and caring for me so I no longer live in fear.
Lord let me be always sure and confident of your final victory
Over all evil and sinfulness which you will smite forever triumphantly.
And Lord let all of us be forever safe inside your heavenly home
Where we will all live in joy, peace, and love in your everlasting kingdom.
Becky’s Haiku: Think and Fresh
How each year I think
Of winter’s end wishing for
The fresh start of spring.

Becky’s Haiku: A Green Journey
Forest greenery
Everywhere I see on a
Wisconsin journey
After the Rain
The sun brightly appears after a stormy spell
Letting everyone know that all again is well.
The shrilling wind has lessened its’ churning
While the pelting rain has ceased it’s drumming.
Trees, shrubs, flowers, and everything green
Is bathed in wetness on this summery day in Spring.
A new fresh scent permeates and filters the air;
A welcomed sign that the earth is renewed and fair.
Such a sweet blessing to remember and realize
That the loving Lord is in charge: rain, snow, or sunshine.
And at night when the orange setting sun is dipping low,
He stays in charge of all our nights, our days and every tomorrow.
Becky’s Haiku: Search and See
I lift my eyes to
Search and see a place to gaze
On nature’s beauty.
Jesus is the GENTLE SHEPHERD
Guide and teacher of God and his amazing love.
Ever passionately kind to help the sick, the mute, and the blind.
Never forsaking, never forgetting; always loving, always forgiving.
Trustworthy and wise, he softly wipes the tears from our eyes.
Listens with tender care to our silent and unseen prayers
Empathic and understanding while remembering his time of suffering.
Savior of all who have sinned as we are drawn closer to him.
Healer of the broken heart and soul, making us stronger and whole.
Eternally and forever faithful, never leaving or letting us go.
Protective shield through every storm keeping us safe from harm.
Hears and sees our tears; knows all our pains through the years.
Everlasting and loving friend on whom we can always depend.
Rescuer and redeemer who saves us for life forever after.
Deliverer of never ending hope and lasting peace for our souls.
Becky’s Haiku: Pitch and Time
I pitch a prayer to
The Lord who answers in His
Time and by His Word.

Becky’s Haiku: The Storm Within
When I hear thunder
And wind, I sometimes fear the
Storm raging within.
For a battle does
Wage inside my soul when doubts
Are nagging me so.
For troubles arise
And not just a few tugging
At me; my heart’s blue.
I lay on my bed with
With tears streaming down as I
Wondered what went wrong.
I try to do what’s right
And show kindness to all but
Still I trip and fall.
So I hide in my
Tiny cocoon not wanting
To leave my small room.
As fear grips and churns
inside, I don’t want to face
the storm just outside.
So I rest hiding
Alone with hands folded tight
As the storm raged on.
Finally I do
Peek out my window in quiet
Hope and gentle peace.
The sky was blue once
Again, you see. The storm was
Gone; God answered me.
Writing 101 Day 20: Treasure
The Things I Treasure
Family and lifelong friends
Whose love prevails and never ends.
A vivid blue and warm day
Where glowing sunshine lights the way.
A new path in life; a new road to adventure
And where it might lead I can only wonder.
Sweet melodious birdsong filling the breeze
As the feathered carolers perched in the lofty trees.
Meadows and wildflowers I do adore;
Black-eyed Susans, daisies and more.
Strolling through the forest of towering trees
Oh how Spring gives birth to such emerald beauty.
A quiet, rainy day when I rest inside
Reading and writing to my heart’s delight.
Returning home and walking down memory lane;
Visiting loved ones and close friends.
Walking on the beach and feeling the spray of the sea;
Feeling the sand surround and envelop my bare feet.
Sitting at the park and listening to the whispering wind
Sifting through the branches; softly heard but not seen.
In deep conversation with a close friend
In whom my quiet trust will never end.
Seeing a lemon-tinted sunrise in the early morning
And a glowing orange sunset in the warm evening.
Have the love of Jesus residing in my heart wiping away my sorrows
As he instills hope for today, through the night, and tomorrow.
Becky G? Oh, That's Me!
