Give Me Laugh Lines and Wrinkles

Today’s devotional is a little whimsical. Feel the embodied nature of what it means to really live, and let the Spirit speak to you today of joy and blessing.

give me laugh lines and wrinkles

i want proof of the jokes we shared

engrave the lines into my face like

the roots of a tree that grow deeper

with each passing year

i want sunspots as souvenirs

for the beaches we laid on

i want to look like I was

never afraid to let the world

take me by the hand

and show me what it’s made of

i want to leave this place knowing

i did something with my body

other than trying to

make it look perfect
