Soul Snack 8/141 ... WANTED!


Have you ever sat alone atop a lofty mountain, wind blowing recklessly through your hair?

Ever perched yourself in solitude on lichen laden conglomerate above a tree line, scanning a shimmering horizon that just 'sings' to your soul?

In solace an uncluttered world can also un-clutter the thinking.

The joy of that surprise visitor or the success of goals once very well achieved can be easily recalled.

Have reflections on both strong and broken relationships alike permeated the cortex?

Was the steep ascent walked slowly to this vantage point, really a metaphor for many steps in life?

The steps through life can be burdensome. The severed relationships soul destroying. Commitments broken, promises destroyed, hearts torn in two!

The happy and the sad, both available without interruption at this summit.

Paradoxically, re-assurance, affirmation and attention is always available to those in solitude.

All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away. Jn 6:37


Above the snow line, upon the skin numbing rock, refreshment arrives from on high.

You are the Father's good  gift to Jesus! This Father only gives the good!

This Father knows it is good for Jesus to know you. Through you this Father acts to bless HIS ONLY Son.

You are His divinely approved and chosen blessing to His son ...

and you know what, Jesus also wants to keep it that way!
