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
Thanksgiving Day
A good day
to remember
to whom
our thanks
is due
and why
A good day
“Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever!” Psalm 107:1
Fall days...
Gray
Dark, dreary
Damp, murky
Pervasive gloom
Yet…
In the midst of lurking gray,
dark, dreary, damp,
murky and pervasive gloom
There is still
Penetrating Light
Subtle splashes of color
Magical displays of wonder
Nudging us to remember
That delight and hope and love remain
Amid Autumn Days
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!
Unexpected Delight
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
I knew where I was going.
I wasn’t lost.
My destination was secure.
However…
In the fog
There was uncertainty
About what waited ahead
Perhaps…
Something dreaded?
Something delightful?
Something unexpected?
Not to worry…
I know where I am going.
I am not lost.
My destination is secure.
On our way for donuts
Out of the blue
Ben
He wonders “How does God do this?”
Butterflies, hummingbirds, flowers, rain…
They float, they hover, they bloom, it waters…
They delight, they amaze, they beautify, it sustains…
He wonders “How does God do this?
Ben
Out of the blue…
Forgets about donuts …
And in his wondering …
Praises the One who made them.
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.
“Praise the Lord.
Praise the Lord, my soul…
He is the Maker of heaven and earth,
the sea, and everything in them—
he remains faithful forever.”
Psalm 146:1,6
This is the day the Lord has made,
let us rejoice and be glad in it.
Psalm 118:24
