Five Minute Friday: Vivid

On Fridays here at The Little Missionary Girl, we slow the pace and take JUST 5 minutes to let mind and heart run free, to pour words onto screen unlimited by that relentless editor inside, to just soar with abandon and to see what comes....

This week......


VIVID


Life is full of color to me.
Bright hues of golden yellow
Sultry tones of deep red
Mellow visions of bright blues
Calming palates of rich green

Nothing is ever simple or plain to me.
Sorrow is keen.
Joy is unspeakable.
Pain is horrendous
Love is unfathomable in its depth.

I see the vivid nature in everything, everybody, every circumstance
How the tapestry weaves us all together
How our lives twist and turn and crash and even burn
to the rhythms of seeming happenstance
and yet....

The bliss of grace seems wild
Waving its banner high and true
in every moment and every breath
Alive and Real
for all to see
If we will only look
it is there
in all
its VIVID clarity.

Join me??

Thanks for sharing that beautiful imagery and verse, Lindsey. The bliss of grace DOES wave "high and true" -- and I don't know why, but that small phrase gave me chills. It is dauntless. Thanks for the reminder. :)

"How the tapestry weaves us all together." I love this. The tapestry of our individual lives, and every single circumstance, weaves together to create a vivid portrait of His grace. Beautiful post!
