Worth-ship

Worth-ship

Old English word for Worship

An act of devotion

To honor and show reverence

Worth-ship

Holy, holy, holy,

Lord God Almighty,

Which was, and is, and is to come

Revelation 4:8b

As I look outside recently

I see the trees waving their branches.

In Spring rains

With buds recently forming

They sing

Holy, Holy, Holy!

When the Summer heat

Beats upon them

They sing on

Holy, Holy, Holy

As Autumn chill changes the air

Their leaves change color

Some become dull

Yet the trees continue

Holy, Holy, Holy

Naked, frigid with snow and freezing rain

They continue.

All creation

Worth-ship

When bugs infest their bark…

Squirrels build habitats in their trunks…

As birds build nests…

Holy, Holy, Holy

Is still their song!

While they grow and flourish

When death begins to take its toil

They seem to prefer group settings

But even the loner will go on

Giving The Creator

His Due

Worth-ship

In every season

As a child among the trees

While a teen navigating life

Nurturing children as a mom

Even as grey hair frames my temples

I will sing

Holy, Holy, Holy

Is my Lord and my God!

On the days my body aches,

And the wonderful times I can run with a child.

When stormy clouds block my view,

And those moments the Light Shines through!

Worth-ship

I will live in the beauty of holiness.

Let the Divine Nature of God work.

Endeavor to speak words of life.

Pray Your Prayers

Let the Love of God Shine😉

I will not simply

Preach the Gospel

But live it out

With humbleness of heart.

That I might be a vessel of honor😊

A life lived singing

Holy, Holy, Holy

Is the Lord my God

Who made heaven and earth!

Although the fig tree shall not blossom,
neither shall fruit be in the vines;
the labour of the olive shall fail,
and the fields shall yield no meat;
the flock shall be cut off from the fold,
and there shall be no herd in the stalls:
¹⁸ Yet I will rejoice in the LORD,
I will joy in the God of my salvation.

Habakkuk 3:17-18

Worth-ship

You alone are Worthy!

Of all Praise, Honor, and Glory!

In the solitude of my life

When I am surrounded by those I love

If the crowd is all strangers.

I will sing!

During fastings or feasting

Exhausted or rested.

I will say

God is Great

And greatly to be praised!

Worth-ship

Because worship

Is ALL about You!

And not at all about me,

Nor my circumstances.

YOU are Large and in Charge

In the good times and “bad”.

There is none like Thee!

Holy, Holy, Holy

When I am misunderstood

Or feel rejected.

If my “ducks” are all in a row

Or scattered like “chickens” 😊

As my prayers are answered

Perhaps seemingly delayed

You say, “No. I have a better Way!”

Worth-ship

Will be my weapon!

The strength of my spirit!

A cry of desperation!

My love language😊

To my Beloved.

Know assuredly

In sun and rain

Cold and heat

Sickness and health

Riches and poverty

Holy, Holy, Holy

Will be my Battle Cry!

For my life will be unto Thee a…
