These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

My Quiet Place

These moments in my quiet place
give time to think, reflect.
The need for hope and daily grace
cannot we oft detect.

My quiet place feels oft alone
for few can find this nest.
Repair to there when strength is gone.
Restore the heart as blest.

My quiet place is where I write,
and sit to think about
the days of life, that in the light
are God's to work them out.

The Christmas times in my quiet place
are tastes of what's to come.
Salvation in Christ's wondrous Grace
is where Joy knows its sum.
