Berry Bittersweet
Red Current Berry
Picking after school
Bane of my existence
But their yummy jelly
Was my sweet reward
5 Syllabic Verse
A bittersweet memory….😊
When I was young we had 5 Red Current bushes in our backyard which were the pride and joy of my mom who loved Red Current Jelly but their existence was a bane to my brother and I as we were the daily fruit pickers!
It was our after school chore and one we immensely disliked! But….we did enjoy eating the yummy jelly on our toast that mom made from the berries.
I found this recipe online that is very similar to my mom’s, not sure that I am ready to make any of this jelly, but perhaps you readers might.
Acts of Deceit
Ananias lied
Immediately died
Sapphira did too
Fear and trepidation grew
And spread thru the church worldwide

Little blues leaving
Under the cover of darkness
Daily ocean foragers

Green leaves on branches form
First red rose blooms

Oozing
Out,
Kissing my mouth
Inside and out with
Epitome goodness

Enjoy
Enjoy the little things
Before they slip away
Life a new day brings
Enjoy the little things
A bird that sings
A sunny day
Enjoy the little things
Before they slip away

Blind Birds?
Blessings
Within their reach
Abundantly given
Yet they seek the world’s meager scraps
Instead

My daughter sat on her porch and watched the two doves walk down the street together as if they were humans out for an evening stroll.
They had visited her yard previously to check it out, tasting of its goodness, yet today they bypassed her fresh green yard overflowing with beautiful foliage, birdseed, and a water filled birdbath, to forage in the dry, dusty gutter. Were they blind to the goodness nearby that was offered to them so freely, or did they just stubbornly choose to ignore it, determinedto live their in own way?
It makes one ponder if we humans are the same. Do we walk blindly through this world, seeking to find blessings and happiness in our own way while all the while passing by the goodness God has provided to those who will stop to believe and receive From Him?
