Creative Writing for the Creator

Here I am, outdoors… soaking the warmth and the brightness of the descending sun and the soothing caress of this breeze… A gusty wind sweeps through the tree branches and bushes, like ocean waves crashing on sandy shores… till it all holds still for a few suspended moments… and the gentle breeze blows again… Golden strands of my hair shimmer and dance… Above, a canopy of white disheveled clouds, carried away against the blue canvas of the sky… The wind now seems to be the only sound I hear, brisk white noise that soothes and permeates all… God speaks with the voice of the wind, infusing His creation with His healing presence.

  O primeiro dia de 2026 esgueirou-se silenciosamente em nosso lar. A manhã soou sem despertadores: hora do café! O brilho do sol e o clima morno nos atraíram  para a varanda dos fundos.  Só o Keith e eu… Mas Deus, Sua criação e Sua paz permeavam tudo!

  The first day of 2026 slipped quietly  into our home.   Morning rang in without alarm clocks: c offee time!   Sunshine and warm weather pulled us out  to the back porch.   Just Keith and me...   But God, His creation, and His peace  permeated everything! Birds, squirrels, trees, the gentle breeze,  (and even bees) in this unpredictable Texas Winter!   We said a prayer of thanksgiving...   In this New Year, the roads are not  always clear, and we cannot see what lies ahead of the curves and hills.     But He can!   And this is what trusting in Him means  in 2026:  to experience His Peace.   So, here we are,  just Keith and me... joyfully abiding in our Lord Jesus.   Happy New Year!     2 John 1:3  (King James Version) Grace be with you, mercy, and  peace ,  from God the Father, ...
