Another report!
Each day the news is bringing
Fear into our hearts.
Do we allow the fear to dwell
Or choose to overcome it?

Purpose
Raised up for what?
To show His power in you!
Declare His name
Everywhere you travel
That’s His purpose for you
Tanka
Based on Exodus 9:16 scripture where the Lord was speaking to Moses regarding His purpose in dealing with Pharaoh. Just as the Lord raised up Moses for that purpose, so has He done the same for all of us who believe.
We all have a purpose. He created each of us to fulfill His plan. Wherever we are today we can show forth His power as we declare His name. It’s not about us, it’s about Him.
Busy Bee
I seem to be obsessed
By all the colors of Spring
Bee in my bonnet
I can be found snapping pics
In random neighbor’s yards
Tanka
Today it was so nice out again I just had to take a walk down the block to check out all the neighborhood yards to see how much Spring growth had appeared.
Well I was pleasantly rewarded as one neighbor had an abundance of vibrant
crocus blooming. The bees and I were happy and one even paused for a pic😊
Springtime Awakenings
Enjoying the new life
Springing up all around me
Singing and dancing
With the birds and daffodils
Shaking off winter doldrums
Tanka
Sometimes…
Sunsets like life,
End suddenly, shocking us
With bursts of color,
Or subtlely fade away
With faint hues of calm repose.
Tanka
Be a Sunflower
Seeking better days,
With some sunshine in life?
Looking for the light?
Are you standing in the sun
Or sitting in the shadows?

“If you want light to come into your life, you need to stand where it is shining.” —Guy Finley
“Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see a shadow.” —Helen Keller
Melancholy Memories
Watching the rain fall
Remembering days of old
Reflections in rain
Reminders of times past
All runoff like raindrops

Heart Sightings
Hearts all around us
Happy hearts and hurting hearts
Hearts looking for hope
Heavy hearts needing healing
All seek to meet helpful hearts
Tanka
Everyone Has Their Days
Physically on earth
We will lose sometimes.
Yet, Spiritually,
We who are in Christ are winners,
For In Him is victory.
Tanka
Today, on earth, the groundhog didn’t see his shadow so Spring won and Winter lost.
Today on earth, at the Super Bowl, the KC Chiefs won and the San Francisco 49ers lost.
Today, somewhere on earth, someone in the world received Christ as their Lord and Savior and the devil lost.
But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ 1Corinthians 15:57
For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. 1John 5:4
I’m Just Ducky
As rude comments
Try to dampen your spirit
Pelting down as rain
Let them silently roll off
Be puddles under your feet
