What Will You Worship Today?

Posted on by lioness

My Child,
What will you worship today?

My sun warms you and brightens your day.
My plants and animals sustain you.
My ground yields it’s treasure
To build
And energize your cities.
Rivers of beauty
Play across the land,
Teeming abundantly.

You perceive
The wonder of creation,
Yet, your love
Does not go
Beyond the creature,
To see, or seek the Creator.
You do not want
To meet the artist.

You do worship.
You worship what you love.
There is little room for Me.
I am to you a thermostat
For your comfort,
Under your control.

Desiring love
I weep.
Here I am
Within reach.
Stretch out your heart
And I am yours.

My child,
What will you worship today?

About lioness

I am a wife, a mother, a Sinai nurse, of who it is said, "You can always tell a Sinai nurse. You just can't tell her much." To that I add, artist, photographer of sorts and a writer. I live loving God and grateful for the Faith with which I am blessed. I am in awe of God's good creation. Daily Mass helps keep me focused and aware of God’s presence. I try to live in that awareness depending on His grace. Through my writing I hope to share His gift.. My writing is my outreach. My part will be as small as I am, but God can use the gifts He gives me. My best efforts aren't enough, I place my works under the patronage of the Immaculata that I may "do whatever He tells you." I write a lot these days. It's good therapy and at least makes me feel like my two cents might help someone, somewhere. That's the plan! I am a wife, a mother, a graduate of the Mount Sinai Hospital School of Nursing in NYC). I am the commissioned artist of the large Icon, Jesus King of All Nations, that has traveled the world on pilgrimage. I, also, created the prototype for the stain glass window of Our Lady of Medjugorje in the chapel of Caritas, in Birmingham, Alabama. I am a photographer (Photo-Jo/smugmug ), a writer, published in now gone, Catholic Charismatic Magazine, an avid blogger and poet.
