Even though I
Had said
I wouldn’t let it happen
Nonetheless it
Did!

Thankful for Little Things
Morning sunshine and
Rainbow afternoon
Nice day with my daughter
Christmas shopping done
Talking with my grand-daughters
Making weekend plans
Festive cookies
Quiet evening
Warm, safe, cozy
Counting my Blessings
Syllabic Verse
Shine Your Light
Hesitating to share the truth
Fearing others harsh opinions
Keeping our thoughts hidden inside
Silencing our tongues
Invites darkness
Into our souls
Dimming life
Divine
Speak!

The Candy Dish
Bringing a smile and
A little bit of sweetness
Into a stressed day
At home and in many places where I have worked I always have had a Candy Dish.
Filled with Peppermints or other small wrapped candies it offered a nice treat to those stopping by. A refreshing peppermint or piece of chocolate in mid-afternoon always seemed to be a good pick me up at work and at home of course it was the first place the grand-kids headed for when they visited.
Sometimes its just the little things that can make our days better.
Haibun
In a lowly manger He lay
The Prince of Peace in goodwill came
The Mighty God upon the hay
In a lowly manger He lay
God came upon earth that day
Everlasting Father His name
In a lowly manger He lay
The Prince of Peace in goodwill came
Triolet
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6 KJV
Life
Did you ever stop to think
Your life is but a blink
Its here and then it’s gone
Like the morning dawn
So be it as it may
Treasure life today
Before it slips away

Day Brightener
Suddenly
A flash of blue
On a bleak winter day
Barren berry bush gave him
Away

Today a blue jay visited my yard. I wasn’t quick enough to snap his picture so I had to draw one instead 😊
Gingerbread House Day
I didn’t celebrate
I didn’t create
A Gingerbread House
Syllable Lune
Today was Gingerbread House Day. In times past I have made many Gingerbread Houses but not today.
I did enjoy having a Toasted Marshmallow Peppermint Mocha at Black Rock Coffee while I thought about them though 😊
Did you make one today or have you ever made one?
A Remaining Robin
Abundant food sources
Vanished with the Springtime
Lonely Robin
Seeking a fruit bearing bush
Wanders among the raindrops

This Robin chose not to fly South for the Winter I guess. I saw him hopping around my yard in the rain and was surprised to find out that not all Robins fly South, but some stick around and eat fruit in the Wintertime. (Photo is not very clear as I had to snap it quickly using my phone thru my patio window from quite a distance)
The American Robin–Making Sense Of Migration
On a City Sidewalk
God gave me an chance to pray for you
Today. A stranger whom I now know as
Lori. Twas a chance meeting.
God put me there in front of
You sitting in the cold,
Eyes filled with tears,
Homeless yet
Knew Jesus
And He
You
Etheree
God Bless You Lori. “He is the “God Who Sees You” and He will help you.
