LOVE

LOVE sign and Love Rocks
A “River of Love”

Created by hearts full of love

Love never fails

Senryu

Today I had the privilege of attending the creation of a “River of Love” in my small town. This was a part of a #Better My Town project which included Love Locks And Love Rocks. It was a beautiful day weather wise and community wise. So much love and creativity shared in one place! It certainly will make our town a better place for years to come!

Good Deeds

Daisy, flower, hand
Taking time to show you care

Offering up a sincere prayer, 

Meeting a strangers need,

Doing a small kindly deed,

Sometimes means a whole lot more

Than lots of money given to the poor

Do something small for the least 

Let God multiply it into a feast

With Time and Care

Bay Leaf Plant
Wounds are healing

Restoration is at work

New life is coming

Haiku

This little Bay Leaf Plant was growing great in a small area of the lawn but one day he was accidentally mowed down and was deemed too injured to keep. He was headed for the compost bin but I intervened to save him. I wanted to give him a new chance at life and so with good soil, water and sunshine I see he is now coming back. New sprouts are emerging! Soon he will be a big glorious Bay Leaf Tree!  😊 

Life at times is rough

Somedays might be really tough

Never giving up

Holding on til my last breath

I choose life over death

Portion Pondering 


Will you leave a legacy of love and joy?

Or pilot a trail of endless pain?

With what marked traits does your life employ?

Will you keave a legacy of love and joy?

Or a bitter life which does annoy

By seeking only its own selfish gain?

Will you leave a legacy of love and joy?

Or pilot a trail of endless pain?

Special Song

Pink Heart Sky
A sweet melody

In the quiet of the night

His song comes to me
His song comes to me

And night and day I shall sing of

His lovingkindness
His lovingkindness

That He commands in daytime

Is my sweet heartsong

 

Senryu Cascade

 

The Lord will command His lovingkindness in the daytime, And in the night His song shall be with me—Psalm 42:8 NKJV
