I want to rest
In this moment on
This first cold day of fall
No pressing schedules
No demands for my
Time and attention…
Curled up on the couch
A cup of hot coffee in hand
Nothing to pull me away
So, I want to remain
In the peace and quiet
While I seek You Lord…
All my plans for travel
Came to a screeching halt
And I wondered if You
Wanted me, this day
And the weekend
To be alone with You…
Time to seek You
Time to reevaluate
Time to recommit
Time to be renewed
Time to be cleansed
Like a deep fall house cleaning…
As I seek You
I humbly ask You
To join me here
Draw close Lord
With a blanket and
Cup of hot coffee
On this first cold day of fall.
