Lord You've given me so many blessings, and I am profoundly grateful. This house is always filled to overflowing, with laughter and sharing. Every room full of life and your blessings. Suddenly, I'm alone. A very rare occasion, and feeling sad. I don't know why. Usually, I savor these quiet times, like pearls, rare and beautiful. You give me choices every day. So I choose to be happy instead. Immerse myself in gratitude and count the blessings you bestow on me. I am grateful for this quiet time. that feels almost alien. Maybe that's it! It feels like the day after Christmas. Or when the party is over. SO, quietly I sit here and I am still, and I know that you are God. I hear Your reassuring Voice, and feel Your unending Love. 02 |

Dear Ellie, I love this poem, everything about it, especially the part where "I choose to be happy instead" and I'm going to remember those words for a long, long time. Thanks for sharing.....Bonnie |

what a blessing! it's amazing to see how God provides for us and how we sometimes feel unsure of how to accept it. you've captured it in such a simple way. |

Dear Ellie, what a wonderfully serene & peaceful piece you have here-which also suggests to me that no matter how close we are living to the Lord, in every experience of life we are meant to be growing, learning, and finding the good that is there. Thank you for this, yet another lovely installment, David "Our Creativity points to a Higher Creator--we couldn't have just happened, and for what ability we may possess--to God be the glory." -dlw- |

Ellie your words are soothing to the soul! We can't be happy all the time, but those quiet moments for us to reflect on Him, for He is always with us! Great  |

Ellie this is one of your best, it is so honest and sincere. Reminds me of the song not sure of the title but goes "You'll never walk alone, you have a Saviour that walks beside you everyday". |

This is very peaceful and serene. It reminded me of how very lucky I am and how much I actually appreciate the quiet times to think, cherish and reflect. Kim |
