There it was …
Flying, then
Landing, then
Fluttering off
Until back again
Alighting on the unnamed flower
Floating away again
Only returning again
Finally taking a sip
What an interesting creation
Full of unexpected delight

There it was …
Flying, then
Landing, then
Fluttering off
Until back again
Alighting on the unnamed flower
Floating away again
Only returning again
Finally taking a sip
What an interesting creation
Full of unexpected delight


All things bright and beautiful
All creatures great and small
All things wise and wonderful
The Lord, God made them all




Each little flower that opens
Each little bird that sings
He made their glowing colours
He made their tiny wings
-song by William Henry Monk





Today’s gift
This morning I gave a ride to my neighbor, as I do from time to time, to a farm east of here where he works. Dense fog rolled in over night, shrinking the view to what was at hand. Up for a challenge, I tossed my camera in the car thinking I might find something interesting on the way home. Here’s what I found.
Interesting to me and hopefully to you …








Today’s Gift…
This is my Father’s World
Looking back
How swiftly flow days, weeks, months
Seems like yesterday

Days floating among,
Tomorrow’s murky mystery
Lived one by one

Await diamond days
Being blessed, blessing others
True benediction

“The LORD bless you and keep you;
the LORD make his face shine on you and be gracious to you;
the LORD turn his face toward you and give you peace.” Numbers 6:24-26
Today’s gift
It’s October…
It’s’ windy, rainy
There’s a chill in the air.
Yet…
It’s a good day to go to the beach!

Today’s Gift



Here are a few things I saw on my morning walk.



I thought I’d share… just for fun



Today’s gift


They’re finally blooming, the new ones, that is…


I thought I’d share.


Today’s gift

Okay, so this wasn’t a walk among
… stars,
… planets
… galaxies


Still, God so loved the Cosmos,
including you and me,
and everything in it,
that he sent Jesus to redeem it.


This might be a bit too preachy,
but it’s true
…and today’s gift.

The snow was certainly unexpected, so I thought I’d share.
