SOMETIMES “NOTHING” IS EVERYTHING
April 12, 2017I wanted to give the right gift,
the perfect one.
I had little money
and few skills.
IT NEEDED TO BE PERFECT!
I grew more and more disappointed.
Eventually,
with tears in my eyes
and empty hands,
I threw myself to the ground
and cried out
“I love you!”
He was pleased.

REFLECTING ON THE CROSS
April 7, 2017The REAL Joy
I enjoy the applause.
Admiration is nice for a time
but,
my lasting joy
is reflecting the Lord in all I AM and do.
I am nothing without His love.

March 23, 2017My Beloved
A palm branch welcome
A donkey ride, “hosanna!!”
enroute to the tree

JUST A TREE . . .
March 7, 2016
NAILS – An Acrostic
Never had a tree touched my heart.
Acorns, bark, leaves to rake.
It was so ordinary, almost invisible.
Lent’s reminder of my Savior’s love – His blood.
Somehow the tree isn’t just a tree anymore.
