445. For man, as for flower and beast and bird, the supreme triumph is to be most vividly. most perfectly alive. ~D. H. Lawrence

There is the power of gathering:
it inspires us, delightfully,
to be more hopeful,
more joyful,
more thoughtful:
in a word, more alive.

I feel alive
I come alive
I am alive
on God’s great dance floor.
~Excerpted lyrics from a song
written by Martin Smith, Nick Herbert, Chris Tomlin

For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. ~Romans 8:38-39    ✝

Sweet Jesus, fill us with the mercy you bled and draw us back unto Yourself!

  4. Lovely rose Natalie. D.H. Lawrence said it all, being vividly alive is a great thing. Thanks for sharing this with us.
    Love and Hugs. LMS

      • You’re welcome LMS. Do the extra prayers for Wednesday will you? I’m having some work done on my jaw for a tooth implant. 😦 Not happy, can’t have coffee for 3 days afterwards. Oh the pain of it all.
        Love and hugs

    • Oh man, I hope I didn’t see this too late. I’m lifting you up in prayer and will continue to do so. I pray that the procedure goes well and you experience little to no residual pain, Mein Laurence. And I’m so sorry you’ll have to do without your coffee for three whole days. Hugs and love, Natalie AKA LMS 🙂

      • This is the worse part Natalie, no blasted coffee. I’m going through withdrawals now. The procedure went very well and I’m taking my pills and being a good boy.
        Hugs and Love LMS
