Kindness is a flower
That blooms in a giving heart
It’s fragrance spreads
Reaching people far and wide
Bringing joy and hope to life

Saw a Robin today
Come to chase winter away
Flying in to help celebrate
January’s final day

In the beginning God created
The heaven and the earth.
Although it is often debated,
In the beginning God created.
Is really not complicated,
It’s a truth of great worth.
In the beginning God created
The heaven and the earth

Christmas Countdown’s here
Run, Run, as fast as you can
Don’t let time win
Only seven days now left
The race is officially on

Twas just a morsel
The tiny seed that he found
Yet he sang for joy
For his heart was contented
And filled with godliness

…godliness with contentment is great gain. 1 Timothy 6:6

Birds in winter
Hopping all about
Scratching ground
Searching for
Nourishment under the snow
Birdseed is welcomed

I love to watch the birds in my backyard. All Spring and Summer I enjoyed watching a family of Doves, some Cedar Waxwings, Blackbirds,Sparrows and occasionally was fortunate enough to catch sight of a Hummingbird, but now that it’s Winter I don’t see many of my feathered friends, it’s usually just a squirrel or two that is scurrying around. But today, I happened to see quite a gathering of Chickadees hopping about looking for food. They are such cute little birds! Their presence, and also the BlueJay that joined them, was a treat to see, and also a reminder to make sure to keep the birdseed available to them this winter. I figure that’s the least I can do since it’s a such a joy to see them visiting.

All different
Yet all are the same
Outside, what differs is what’s

Hope is a Promise,
Hold fast to it without wavering.
Hope is Living, through God’s
Mercy in Christ’s resurrection.
Hope is Grace and God.
Hope’s in you and me.
Hope is an Anchor,
That’s sure and steadfast-cling to it.
Hope is ours for the Future.
