Look around you now.
What’s in your enviroment?
Make a difference!
Look for the flowers not weeds.
If you find none, plant one!

Blessing of a Gift
Oft’ a gift blesses
Not only the recipient
But also the giver
Senryu
And remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’ Acts 20:35
Last night I was blessed to be given a wonderful surprise gift by my youngest grand-daughter. Her generous heart brought me so much joy!
Yet, she said the giving brought her much joy also. She’s such a sweetheart!
Smile of Love
Cheery !
A Grand-daughter’s smile
Chases away worry,
And brings healing to a weary heart.
It’s better
To bring healing
Than hospital’s prescribed
Daily routine medicine
I think.

Renewal
After a short walk
Peaceful place to rest
Counting my blessings
In the shelter of the vine
I renew my strength and hope

One Step
One step
Often changes life
For the good
For the bad
It depends on choices made
At the time you step

Every Step
Walking with Jesus
Faithful and true companion
Always by my side
Each step He gives me strength
And guidance for the day

Restoration
Bowed, not broken.
Bruised, but will rise again.
In His mighty strength
And His tender compassion,
He will bring new life to me.

(based on Matthew 12:20
A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment to victory.)
A Purple Day
Resting on a bench
By the pretty purple vine
Enjoying the sunshine
Before the slow walk home
As if to say “Hi”
Purple petal visits me
Color match perfect
Enhancing my outfit’s color
Of purple and red today

Garden Music
Birdsong, buzzing bees,
Wind rustles flowers and trees
The garden’s music
