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

Did you ever stop to think

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 😊

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?

Abundant food sources
Vanished with the Springtime
Lonely Robin
Seeking a fruit bearing bush
Wanders among the raindrops
Tanka
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)

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.

Happy National Cookie Day! Hope it was yummy for you!
I baked some Sour Cream Sugar Cookies today and was planning to head to Subway to get my free cookie there but never made it.
Just as well, I didn’t need another cookie anyhow. Mine were enough! 😊
Here’s the recipe if any of you might want it.
