Reflections of Peace by Michael Lint

It’s Friday and you know what that means…Inspiration in the form of poetry as I link up with my writing Friends at Lisa Jo Baker’s Five Minute Friday.  Today’s word was STORY.  The word story is not actually in my poem today, but it was inspired by the traditional hymnal “I Love to Tell the Story”.  It is a poem (and story) that I wrote about the greatest Love that ever was.  A Love so great that it transcends time.  A Love that is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow.  He came for us.  Plain and Simple.  Here is the poem:     He Came For Us (The Greatest Love of All Time): A Love so great no boundaries knew, Which lived to die though faultless be. He came for … Continue Reading →

Today is my 1 year Blogiversary and for the rest of July I have some fun things to share with you to celebrate!  1 year ago today (July 23, 2012), I wrote my first 2 part blog post called To Everything There is a Season.  It was a story in loss and in miracles.  A story that inspired me to finally buckle down and create my own website; something I had been dreaming of doing for years in hopes of also inspiring others in some way.  I thought for my anniversary today I would take you back in time and talk about what was going on around the time I started my blog, and some reasons why I created We Live Inspired!  I will also be doing 2 giveaways to celebrate … Continue Reading →

The past two weeks I have been delinquent with my Friday poetry, so I have an especially lovely treat to make up for that today!  This treat comes along with news I have been meaning to share, but was waiting until everything was final before spilling the beans.  Today’s word Lisa Jo asked us to write on was the word BELONG.  I chose to write a rhyming poem about my garden!  So the big news is that after years of struggles, and then 2 years after being second in line for homes and a few disappointments, Matt and I have bought our first home!!   God has given me more than I could have ever imagined, and I have been so busy with it all.  SO much excitement and so … Continue Reading →

There was a “who done it” mystery to solve last week.   A formerly beautiful table set with a fresh arrangement of Flowers from the garden.   Happy white daisies with bright yellow centers from Mom’s garden, and red Asiatic lily’s from mine.   A mess of flowers strewn everywhere and water spilled all over the table from the overturned vase.   It wasn’t TOO hard to figure out “who done it” , as it obviously wasn’t one of we humans that reside here, so unless we have a poltergeist (doubtful), we knew it must be one of the cats.  but which one?   Was it Rusty , “The Cat That Came to Dinner” (click the title for that hilarious story), who often sits at the dining table like the … Continue Reading →

Inspiring Rainbows

Sorry I missed last week’s Five Minute Friday, but I am back today to see what inspiration I can bring you in just five minutes with the word prompt this week of IN BETWEEN.  When I heard the word(s) today I immediately started singing a fav. Dave Matthews Band song called The Space Between.  I have no idea how listening to that song inspired me to think of the phrase “In Between Miracles” but that is where I am going writing wise today and I don’t know if it will rhyme or not.  We shall see!  I am going to offer you a fresh perspective that is popping in my head though.  A different way of viewing life.   Go   In Between Miracles:   What if we lived as … Continue Reading →

Happy Father’s Day to the Dad’s & Grandads out there (including my own if you see this)!  Today I thought I would share one of the ways my Dad has impacted my life.  Be ready for an interesting menagerie of music as I give you a peek in to my past and an arm chair trip around the world!  (videos are embedded on the website, but by email you can click on any links you see to be taken to the songs)   While both of my parents nurtured creativity in me, there are two areas in which Dad had the largest role: Music & Writing.   Some of my earliest memories are of Dad playing all sorts of music in the home.  He has exposed me to SO many … Continue Reading →
