Little Reminders  (by Geri L. Phillips)


When I’m a little defeated, and inadequent feelings are lurking around
I am reminded to stop a moment and know that in You, I am found.

At times I feel like talking and there just isn’t a friend in which to confide;
Just then you remind me that You are there to listen and You listen with Your arms open wide.

When in my disappointments, hurts and silent tears;
It is You that reminds me that you are my friend throughout my years.

Yet, still these feelings come and I begin to feel a little blue;
I reach out for help, help that I can only get from You.

Then there it is in a gentle breeze or a butterfly passing by;
Or a ladybug that lands on my cheek, or a beautiful sunrise in the sky;

Or in the melody of a bird singing high on a rooftop,
As if he were singing just for me, and as if he will never stop.

These are just some of the little reminders that make me stop in awe;
To know that I am loved and cared for and that you will catch me when I fall.

Thank you Lord for loving me and for the little reminders!

It is that time of year again when the red breasted robins  gather in their happy go lucky ways!
