    Reflections of light
    Shimmer in the fading night
    Diamonds glisten
    As the rippling water moves and listens
    To the cool winds pushing against the lake
    Even stillness brings a tune below
    Where the current follows
    Our life moves similarly
    A rippling effect
    That touches each part of our journey
    Continually shaping our story
    A life of ease creates emptiness
    The storms and billowing waves are where our life is made

      Life Reflections - Sara Ureel

      Cleansing Rain

      Trees, flowers, grass,

      The spring rain is welcomed

      By the creation of our world

      People scurry

      Shelters are temporarily found

      With a canopy of jackets sighted overhead

      The animals too, find their resthaven

      In the saturated scenery, I stand there

      My clothes drenched

      The downpour of rain

      Quenches the thirst of nature’s dry ground

      Like the heavens opened up and turned on a hose

      Where everything’s a blurred watercolor

      Chilled to the bone

      My thoughts seem to disappear

      Rolling down my back to the tips of my toes

      Similar to the rain

      Purifying the earth

      God makes our cluttered minds clear

      He takes our worries and fears

      He vanquishes our hurts and pain

      So we can smile and dance in the rain

      Those Sweet Summer Nights

      Listening to the campfire crackle and pop

      I slump back in my chair, holding my mug

      Reminiscing on the day we had

      The children’s pent-up excitement

      Makes the cool night air warmer

      With marshmallows still stuck on their faces

      They finally fall asleep

      Dreaming sweet dreams

      Those summer nights

      The world seems to take a pause

      The smells of campfires linger in the air

      As the glow fades

      The embers dim

      Oh, those sweet summer nights

      Nothing Ever Happens

      Nothing ever happens in my yard until I see

      Nests made with such love

      Ants busy at work, moving dirt from one place to the next

      Spiders flying in the air to attach their web

      Nothing ever happens at home until I see

      My children grab a ball to play soccer

      When we sit together and enjoy a home-cooked meal

      When I see excitement in our children’s eyes retelling their day

      Nothing ever happens in my spiritual walk until I see

      That listening to Jesus needs quiet reflection

      When insignificant requests get answered

      When a song touches my heart and I know who put it there

      When God surrounds me wherever I walk

      When I think nothing is happening

      My eyes are opened to see

      Life in the nothings of our days

      Walking in Wonder

      Walking in wonder

      Children’s eyes roam

      Taking in everything they pass

      A fascination on their faces

      That remains intense

      Their little hands touch everything in sight

      Taking a deep
