Today's prompt: Still


7:55 am. Friday.
I look outside.
No breeze. No wind.
Still.

I listen to the house.
Air conditioning rumbles.
Little boy plays on his bed.
Computer hums.
Be still.

Mama reading her Bible.
Reaching deep for the waters.
Reaching deep for the grace.
Praying for His touch on her.
Soaking it in, still.

Note books, devotionals, guides,
study Bible, pens,
gratitude journal.
Blessed still.

Holding my breath,
waiting for something.
Not sure what.
Can I breathe?
Waiting...still.

The rush of the day,
pants at the door.
Waiting to devour me.
I pray for patience,
for saving grace.
Waiting on Him - still.

Dances to "Rise Up"
as only a little boy can.
Shouting his love for Jesus
as only a little one can.
They seek Him still.

Waters rest. Frogs rest.
Birds rest. My heart rests.
We wait for the whisper
the promise of being here
with us.
Always.
Still.

Still I love Him.
Still I seek Him.
In Him I can
be still.
In Him
I can
be.

8:00 am. Coffee is hot. Still.
