Possible?
Is it possible
To be in the world, but not of?
Yes it is, if we are in Christ

… if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new
2Corinthians 5:1
Life in the End
Living in the End Times
In the world but not of it
Have to admit it’s
Sometimes difficult
But it is always worth it
Tanka
Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. 1 John 2

This year I took up learning to draw and started with a draw-a-day challenge on Instagram. I really enjoyed it and learned a lot and was getting better day by day(I thought) but I wanted a dedicated space to draw and paint where I could leave my supplies out and handy. ( I had been using my dining room table and shuffling supplies back and forth which was inconvenient. So, I was able to turn a spare bedroom into my Art Studio and I was so happy and excited! But since that time life happenings have somehow kept me away from having time to draw, hence the poem…. I do hope to get back at it soon though 😊
Squirrel Saga Continues
Mr. Gray Squirrel is back today
Eating from the feeder like it’s okay
“You’re a funny looking bird” I say
My comment causes him no dismay
“Mighty fine sunflower seeds” says he
“Quite worth my trip down the tree”
“Ah yes, but not meant for you” says me
With a smile and nod, away he does flee

To Be Continued….I imagine
Teen Years
Grand-daughter’s nineteen.
Seven years of being a Teen.
I’ve seen the changes,
Been part of many dramas
Teen years often bring.
Prayed that she would find herself.
Been there through all the
Tears, smiles, anger and hugs.
Glad to have played a part.

Be a Champion
The haze of winter’s chill
Clouds the mind.
Fight!

New Year Treasure
The New Year brings Life,
New Beginnings and Promises of Restoration and Redemption,
A Baptism in Hope, Wisdom, and Guidance for those willing to seek Him

A couple of days ago I was blessed to find a most unique dining room table at a local thrift store.
I was in need of a new dining table and had been searching for a long time for a small dark wood table.
I was about to give up hope as every table was either the wrong size or color, therefore I decided I would just buy a table cloth for my old light colored one and look for some dark colored chairs instead.
So on a recent visit to another thrift store I found some dark colored wood chairs that I figured would be ok. They weren’t the best but they were very low priced and sturdy. I figured I could clean them up a bit and they would do me just fine with the new tablecloth.
However, while walking toward the cashier to purchase them I happened to pass by a very unique small round dark colored wood table that I hadn’t previously seen. It had an inlaid wood top with an eight point star in the middle and scallops around the edges. The legs were decorative metal in a scroll type pattern. It was such a beautiful table! Just the right size and color and perfect for me! It was priced very low too! I had found my table at last, and even better it had meaning for me, because the eight point star has many meanings in history and culture, some I found were: Redemption, Regeneration, Baptism, Life, Hope, New Beginnings, Guidance and Wisdom.
It has also been called “The Star of Melchizedek” and is the traditional pattern for winter clothing in Norway and my dad was Norwegian.
I feel this table is a blessing and though it needs a bit of refinishing , it is definitely a rare find and treasure to me!
A Chance Meeting
They met
Because of hunger
Happenstance led to
Two hungry hearts finding lasting
