He visits
With feathered flock
They canvass
‘Neath the trees
Like well trained soldiers
On an important mission

Great Gain
Twas just a morsel
The tiny seed that he found
Yet he sang for joy
For his heart was contented
And filled with godliness

Give Kindness
Kindness,
Easy to give,
But so often not given.
Hearts are waiting to receive,
Be kind.
Cinquain
We would call a man selfish who should refuse to give a cup of water to one who was thirsty. Yet many of us do this continually: it is the heart that thirsts, and the water we refuse to give is human kindness.
~J. R. Miller
Sharing Seed
Birds in winter
Hopping all about
Scratching ground
Searching for
Nourishment under the snow
Birdseed is welcomed

I love to watch the birds in my backyard. All Spring and Summer I enjoyed watching a family of Doves, some Cedar Waxwings, Blackbirds,Sparrows and occasionally was fortunate enough to catch sight of a Hummingbird, but now that it’s Winter I don’t see many of my feathered friends, it’s usually just a squirrel or two that is scurrying around. But today, I happened to see quite a gathering of Chickadees hopping about looking for food. They are such cute little birds! Their presence, and also the BlueJay that joined them, was a treat to see, and also a reminder to make sure to keep the birdseed available to them this winter. I figure that’s the least I can do since it’s a such a joy to see them visiting.

Opportunity
Comes and goes with the tide
Every moment counts
As with the sands of time
Now is important
Take heed before it slips away
Invest in your future
Decide to capture opportunities
Each and everyday day

Tides rise and fall
Opportunities do too
Ocean never rests
Dont let opportunies fall
The wise rise not rest

What is HOPE?
Hope is a Promise,
Hold fast to it without wavering.
Hope is Living, through God’s
Mercy in Christ’s resurrection.
Hope is Grace and God.
Hope’s in you and me.
Hope is an Anchor,
That’s sure and steadfast-cling to it.
Hope is ours for the Future.

For Birds Only
For the birds,
Red Holly berries,
So Festive!
Beautiful
Among the shiny green leaves,
Can harm people and pets
