Looking for a change?
It all begins with with you
Renewing your mind.
It takes a decision
In order for things to change.

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?

Upon a high wire
Dove surveys lush landscape
His place in the sun

Prophetic Promise
The days shall become
A place for refreshment
For the weary soul.

For I have satiated the weary soul, and I have replenished every sorrowful soul. Jeremiah 31:25
Taking Time To Smell The Flowers
So much work just waitin to be done
But sometimes a girl is
Just gotta go have fun
Tiptoe thru tulips
And sit in the sun
Do something
Never done
Enjoy

Seashore Sunset Senses
Breathing in so deeply
Scents of seaweed and crisp air
As gulls seranade
And ocean foam caresses
Sand covered toes
Sunset glistens like gold
Shimmering on waves
That meet rocks and waiting cheek
With a salty kiss goodnight
