Tangles from the past have lost their hold on me.
Fear is gone.......
Hopelessness gone........
Despair removed..........
New tangles have formed.....
I am tangled with joy.......like my Christmas lights from last years tree...... tangled to the point of no return but they continue shining without despair.....Your joy entangles me.........
I am tangled with your peace....... like the lovely skirt that graces our Christmas tree.......Your peace embraces me......
Tangles of love.......I risk these tangles.......knowing my heart could be broken......safe only with You........willingly I surrender to commitments, promises, friends, family........and like the ornaments that I cherish, that hang from our tree, others risk the tangle with me.........hanging in there when times are tough........
Past tangles no longer hurt..........wounds have finally rested from their throbbing.
New life breathes it's breath into me.......it is invigorating......now I am trusting the Lord with all that entangles me.........
Blessings,
Cheri

These are tangles I can get into!! I love the pictures you paint of your tangles of joy, Cheri. Advent does that to me too. Feelings are all jumbled; just joy and awe and so much rolled up in my heart.

"Your joy entangles me....Your peace embraces me." Oh how I love that ...the picture that conveys of being totally wrapped up in the Lord...safe and secure and loved.
Blessings to you my friend,
Joy
