I read this earlier and thought, how often do we allow the cares of the day to steal our joy, or for that matter, God’s plan for our day? Sometimes we have to make adjustments, which may mean we have to say no to the things God has not chosen for us, but in doing so, we are freed to fulfill His purpose.
“The little cares which fretted me
I lost them yesterday,
Among the fields, above the sea,
Among the winds at play,
Among the lowing of the herds,
The rustling of the trees,
Among the singing of the birds,
The humming of the bees.
The foolish fear of what might happen,
I cast them all away
Among the clover-scented grass,
Among the husking of the corn,
Where drowsy poppies nod
Where ill thoughts die and good are born–
Out in the fields with God. ”
–Elizabeth Barrett Browning
Your eyes will see the King in his beauty and view a land that stretches afar. –Isaiah 33:17

About the Author The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. – 2 Peter 3:9 I give thanks to the Lord for everything I have, it is because of His patience that I am saved. April 01, 2001. I am a child of God. I am a wife to Edward Hamlin and we are two becoming one. I am the daughter of a courageous woman who continues to battle breast cancer with the sword of the Spirit and a sense of humor. I am blessed to be the mother of two adult-children who stir thankfulness in my heart every day. I am the proud grandmother of Emeline Sophia Munn, born 04-30-2011. I will have a grandson, Adrian Robert Bunn on March 16, 2012. I also have three bonus adult-children (we’re a blended family) and five little ones to love on, Madison, Alekzander, Jayden, Kalob, and Jordan — the grandchildren. I enjoy a rainy day at home in front of a roaring fire with my man snuggled up next to me as we share a luscious dessert and watch Hitchcock movies back-to-back. (Yes, that’s a run-on sentence. Hehe.) A special thank you to my in-laws the Ranieri’s, who model marriage so lovingly. |

Hi Ginny, I love this poem. It’s one of my favourites. We sometimes have to get out of ourselves and where we think we’re supposed to be, instead of where God wants us to be-with him in the real world, not caught in the darkness of worry.
