They're used as portals
to allow us to pass through from one place to another
and can be opened and closed
some are locked and some are not
and many are slammed
they mark an entrance and and exit
and some a beginning and an end
sometimes we leave them open
for the possibility of change
and sometimes we shut them out of fear
some are used for privacy
and some are secret and can't be found
we have all tried at times to put our foot in one
and some that just seem to do nothing but revolve
some are used for privacy

we have all tried at times to put our foot in one
and some that just seem to do nothing but revolve
we can beat a path to one
and some we have left unanswered
but if we're lucky enough we may hold the key
that leads to the one of another's heart
and although there are times we may feel we journey

He is always with us, we are far from alone.
He is always with us, we are far from alone.
Luke 11:9 So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you;
seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.
Doors are tricky things . . . sometimes I spend so much time trying to open
(okay, shake) doors not meant to open and perhaps because it's not yet time, that I miss
entirely the open ones before me. I try to remind myself that God is my doorkeeper, the one who
opens and closes them and that I won't know if a door is closed until I try to enter it.
Its taken me my lifetime to realize that many doors have to close in order for an open
door to become evident and that I need to practice leaving the door of my heart always open to God
so that I won't have to worry about hearing His knock.
I am blessed to know and thankful that because of God's grace he is always granting me open
doors of opportunity and I just pray for the faith to enter them and the wisdom to choose the right ones.
Have a wonderful weekend my friends,
and thank you for being here at my door!

DOORS!!! I love doors and Kim, you captured a bunch of really cool ones. And I love your writing. You are really gifted at writing as well as photography. This also gives me an idea to keep an eye out for doors when I travel to Calif, as there are some neat homes in the older part of the town I will be in. Great foto friday!!!
Good afternoon Kim,
That was so beautiful, I love how you write and your pictures just pulled everything together! I truly enjoy visiting you every Friday! Have a wonderful 4th of July! God Bless America!
Take care,
Lisa

Love your words...

BEAUTIFUL! ! ! .......the pictures, your words. You have touched me again. I really sometimes think you read my heart. I would like to make everyone of your articles into a book so I can sit and read them when I need someone at my door. Thank you again Kim.
Love ya, Lois
