“Oh for Love-There I Feel Amidst Branches of Thee” ~Inspirations by Linda Willows
“Lord, lend me a home in your world’s sanctuary
Just a humble abode would delight all of me
Let it be near all that sings out, the chorus of We
And nightly rests in, your Heart’s deep Mystery.
I would love to be granted one next to a Tree
Oh for Love- there I feel, amidst Branches of Thee.”

Loved every bit of it.

to pray, to love and to merge, find heaven on earth in the instant of appeal!

Druidic – a forest is a temple, when we come to know nature we find we cannot improve upon it, embrace it, and know it IS love and love is our nature …

Beautifully spoken. I love the Druidic “sight”. Thank you for offering this! Love, Linda

What a magical looking image. Your prayer makes me wish I were surrounded in all that beauty.

I am happy that you liked this, Sherline. In a way, we are or “can be” surrounded in the Beauty, it is God’s Heart and the song that beckons us Home. Love to you, Linda

Oh, Linda, I love this. There is no grander cathedral than the forest; no pipe as soulful as the morning call of swallow; or stained glass to imitate sunlight through the branches. I have visited some amazing churches over my years, but there is almost nowhere that I feel as close to God as when I am a part of that which He created in the days before He created me…….
Absolutely wonderful! ~ Love you, Bobbie

This one nearly brought me to tears–that first line sounds like the beginning of a hymn, Linda.

I also, could feel tears to feel this one. Perhaps a deep spirituality and humility, as well as life experience is needed to really “feel” its wording.

A sanctuary near a tree – that would be a sacred place for me too. This is lovely, Linda – thank you!

Linda, this is a Hobbit’s house in the Enchanted Forest! What could possibly be a better earthly home? I love your visions you share with us.
