Persistent Visitor
Incessently it beats
Loud upon my windowpane
My mind wants it not
Earnestly my ears try to ignore
Yet persistant is the rain

Friend of God
Scripture fulfilled
Imputation was given
Abraham believed
Righteousness was bestowed
He was called “Friend of God”

And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God. James 2:23
Positive Thinking
Yes, things may be bad
But they could always be worse
Focus on blessings
Negativity reverse
Mind in gratitude immerse

Unusual Weather
Heat wave!
Culprit is found!
Spring disquised as Summer
Causes rising temperatures!
Exposed!
She flees,
Goes into hiding for a time.
Then, temps begin to fall
As she returns,
To cool.

Friendship Garden
The sun, moon, stars shine
Birds, bees, butterfies fly by
Many friends visit

One Week Ago
One week ago
Lying in Emergency Room
Uncertainty abounds
Amid pain, fear, helplessness
Family surrounds
Hoping for a good report
Sharing our concerns
Worry covers every face
I ask God’s help at this time
Choka
Encouragement
Encouragement
Offered in many ways
My spirit renewed

And Life Goes On
I know this shall pass
Life must continue on
Stronger day by day

Home Again
Home looks the same
Nothing has changed but me
Taking baby steps
Now recovery begins
I’m learning to walk again
