A Time to Rest

Dormant
Hibernating
Plants and animals rest
Beneath nature’s blanket of snow
Winter

Making decisions
Often not an easy task
Dealing with pros and cons
My heart tells me that I should
My mind tells me that I can’t

A sudden insight!
The reality of a deity,
Is revealed those wise,
Who bearing gifts for a King,
Now receive God’s offering!

Raindrops gently falling
A symphony being played
On my window pane

Christmas packed away,
Another New Year has begun!
Resolutions made.
Seeking opportunities,
I anticipate each day!

New Year!
Change the things you can.
Look for opportunities.
Make a difference.
