Welcome to my holiday series called, Treasure the Quiet Moments
Poetry by Mary Harwell Sayler
To ponder things rather than rushing past them.
In our hurried world, Christmas peace gets lost in the daily rush [Click to Tweet].
May you slow your pace and ponder Him today.
May Mary’s words bring peace as you ponder the Prince of Peace…
Praise Christ our Peace
to Whom we turn
for peace of mind,
especially now –
alone with Him,
despite the Christmas rush.
Praise Christ the Peace
that bypasses all
misunderstanding –
the Great Shalom
in Whom we find our home.

Found Poem: In Tuition
Of Centering Prayer
Let go of thoughts
in deep descent,
and drift down
to the bottom
rest where given
love resides.
Take
the Father’s word
for everything
within
yourself.
Surrender into
gentle peace
the symbol
of your intention,
and wait
for word to come
of what you need
to hear.
Listen to
Most Holy Breath
stir your gasping
of God-Spirit.
Be still and be
yourself as one
small word inhaled:
thanks be to God.

Thank you, Mary for joining us today. Poetry truly does help me to treasure the quiet moments. Each word is filled with meaning. It’s painting with words on the canvas of our heart.
I appreciate you being my guest and for sharing His peace today.
Beautifully written,serene in nature and truly God Breathe!Thanks Jeanne and Mary. Many blessings always.
Certainly enjoyed reading these wonderfully written poems by Mary Harwell Sayler. The smooth flow of their lines evoke the very peace of their gentle intention. However, I am especially partial to “Found Poem:…”, which settles one into the affirming nature of God’s word. Thank you, Mary and Jeanne.
Thank you because I really needed this. When I lose my way and take my eyes off of HIM he always finds a way to knock on my heart. Telling me to not pay attention to the things in this world, but keep my eyes on HIM and walk in my faith. I’ve come too far to look back and become a pillar of salt. Thank you Jeanne, this place I am in is so very uncomfortable but I’m going to walk through it
Thanks for sharing your heart, Sarita. I am praying for you as you take the hard road. God is there with you though–you never have to worry about having to go alone.
