Viewpoints can vary
Tis not my place to judge
Two different views
From inside looking out

God At Work
Suddenly!
Spur of the moment
All at once
Unexpected
Opportunities abound
Divine Surprises!
Shadorma
You’ve probably seen those signs “Men At Work” around construction zones. Well, lately considering what has been happening in my life I would say I could hang up a sign “God At Work” because of so many blessings, new opportunities and just friendly encounters I am having lately. I am really enjoying it all and giving thanks to God.
I know God is always at work in our lives but much of the time He works in the background and He doesn’t always reveal to us what He’s doing or He allows us to see it at a later time.
But sometimes He brings us unexpected surprising blessings suddenly! And it is so great to experience those!
( The word “suddenly” occurs 40 times in the KJV bible. It’s interesting to read the different things that the Lord did “suddenly” )
Breathing in Life
Breath is a blessing
Our life is but a vapor
Thankful for each breath
Senryu
If you have ever lost your breath for a moment I am sure you can relate to this poem.
Having recently had an asthma attack that literally took my breath from me for a few seconds was very scary and made me realize how precious each breath I take is.
Life is short, breathe it in and give thanks for every breath!
Don’t Just Survive—Thrive!
Don’t just be content
To bloom where you’re planted
Thrive! Flourish! Rise!
Always be seeking to grow
Expand your territory
Tanka
My little orange poppy plant is so amazing. This is the third time it’s bloomed this Spring. Every time I think it’s done, it surprises me with more blooms! It’s a Thriver!
Finding Happiness, Joy and Peace
I walked along with Happiness
We smiled and laughed all the way
Filled with carefree bliss
We skipped with light hearts
And when the road got rough
We clung to Joy
Kept smiling
And found
Peace

BLOOM!
Be prolific
Live life abundantly
Overcome obstacles
Open yourself to opportunities
Magnify what you have and share it
Acrostic
Nature’s Tears
Raining roses
Droplets of color
Red, yellow,
Purple, pink
Cascading as confetti
Roundabout my feet
Shadorma
Noceur
A coterie member
Revelling in the darkness
Lover of the night
Senryu
Ready For Battle?
A war
Rages roundbout,
Tis tween good and evil.
Saints, are you suited up to fight
The war?
Are you wearing the Armor of God?
Is every piece in place?
Are you standing
For Him?
Butterfly Cinquain
STEADFAST
Steady Hope, never wavering.
True to His Word.
Enduring to all generations.
Ardent Hope, always
Dependable, dedicated,
Faithful, firm, fixed.
Abiding hope, long suffering,
Staunch, sure, stable, ever
Trustworthy. This is our God.
ACROSTIC
This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast,
