Joyful Ruins

Discovering joy in the hard places


Compassion

Seeing beyond myself

feeling deeply as a canyon

choosing to love

rather than hate

making myself die

so others can see you

that is the true Faith

As Jesus placed a child

on His lap

and touched the leper’s skin

to heal

No person is too low

for my attention

but I cannot have this

kind of compassion

Not on my own

I look to Him

I ask it from Him

He gives Himself to me

So I may give myself

to others

About Me

An obsessive journaler who loves meeting others along their journey and giving them a hand to hold through pieces of writing. I write about the heartbreaks of life and the joys, the ups and downs, and I often learn my greatest lessons and miracles from nature.
