Wings in flight . . . the traveller sings,
Leaves on the now empty branch dance.
and the song grows further away.
Seasons change.
New gifts are given.
New songs are sung!

Praising God for theGift of a New Day
July 14, 2019
It’s been raining long and hard
And gray skies were all I could see.
But today is different,
Or perhaps I am,
For I see a bright spot
Glowing through the
Clouds of morning.
I shall dance!
Dancing with the raindrops
And celebrating the sun
Am I
For today is
A new day
And the Lord has blessed it!

HOW MUCH HE LOVES!
July 1, 2019It saddens me that some feel there is no God. If only they knew how much He loved them. My friend Betty had a heart of gold. She is with the Lord now but I lovingly think of her often. I recall a night when we were young and it was a Saturday night. We hungered for our favorite ice cream shop. Leaving for home, we spied a tiny broken wimged bird by the door. Betty picked it up and exclaimed “it’s alive!” She then handed it to me as I wondered if my hands or the tiny bird shook more! lol We drove all over trying to find a pet clinic and succeeded. I still wonder if they repaired the wing. Betty knows the answer.
NEWFOUND FAITH
Feeling all alone
The tiny broken winged bird
Knew that God sent you

Some call it a storm
but I call it joy
Hidden wonders yet to come!

CREATED WITH A SPECIAL PURPOSE!
June 10, 2019Perspective
A wee one picked a pretty flower
and gave it to her Mom.
Everyone around her smiled with joy.
She grew older and was taught
a dandelion was “just a weed”
but did the flower really change
when the eyes of her heart
were closed?
She grew up
and made them into
such delicious wine!
How eye opening!
