Going Home

I’ve finally begun to enjoy flying – at least the part

where the Captain’s voice comes over the intercom

saying: “We are now making our final descent into

Oklahoma City.”

I am afraid of heights and still can’t make myself

look out the window when we are taking off, but

there’s something thrilling about knowing I am 

 

almost home.

I look out the window and see windmills and land 

 

that looks like a patchwork quilt. I see rivers and

then houses.

Finally, I see the lights on the runway. Then I

 

wait for it … the plane touches the ground and I

am home.

At 67 I know I am getting closer to the time when 

 

I will get to my eternal home. I am looking

 

forward to hearing my Father’s voice at last as 

 

He says: “Welcome Home.” That will be the most

amazing homecoming ever!

Tangerine Sky

Tangerine Sky

His message in the sky said, “I love you”.

A tender written love note for my eyes

He painted tangerine and yellow hue

A splendid sunrise of divine surprise.

His presence made known in the sparkling dew

And the bounty of blessings He supplies.

My Savior died for me, He bore the nails.

His fragrant off’ring showed how love prevails.

Remind Me to Rejoice

Remind me when it rains – rejoice

During unexpected storms – sing

To always listen for your voice

In raging winds cling to my king

Give me eyes to see in darkest night

In thunder’s roar may I feel your power

May my mouth praise you with delight

For you’re my refuge and strong tower
