How do you put a title on emotion?

So how do you close one year and welcome another?  How is it that the memories begin to fade as quickly as they are etched.  As I stand on the rim of  2014, hands flared at the hips, face embracing the horizon.  The horizon that holds the memories of 2014.  Memories not yet created.  Life unheld. 

Theme for 2014?  Absorption.  To absorb what God intends me to be.  Like the sunrise of a dewy morning touching every blade of grass.  Drying it out, yet retaining the moisture to hold form, to keep the scaffolding in place in the inner being of my life.  God gives us so much.  We squander. 

Theme.  2014.  Laying down.  Taking off.  Laying at the alter the things that distract, take from and steal joy.  Remembrance.  Wrapping arms around the sweetness of the memories of yesteryear and being thankful for all the gifts.  Gifts that will be unwrapped when Heaven arrives.  Unwrapped, revealing the true meaning of love, hope, joy. 

Theme.  Thankfulness.  Believing.  Knowing that prayer holds everything when offered with great Faith.  Becoming the prayer.  Feeling the pulse of communion within the outline of flesh.  Breathe.  Breathing the very grace that is given.  Giving the same grace.  Grace that knows no bounds. 

2014.  Giving.  To give up.  To place at the feet of Jesus.
