Delight!
Cedar Waxwing
Visiting my birdbath!
Welcome, my feathered friend!
Enjoy!

(Unfortunately, I was not able to capture my own photo of this bird as he visited my birdbath, as at that moment my camera wasn’t handy. But, this image I found on Wikipedia very much resembles him!)😊
At this time
Out of commission
Sidelined
Set aside
Trusting God has a purpose
For this waiting game

Come before the King,Who can do anything!
No power is greater than He!
With Him, ALL is possibility!
He delights at your company,
Come bow before Him and see,
The blessings He will bestow,
As Him you come to know.
Eternal King, Father, Friend.
He will be with you til the end.
To our King we do hail,
For His love will never fail.
Rhyme
Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen. 1 Timothy 1:17
Walking
Each step crushes
The fear within my mind
Confidence builds as God leads
The way
Cinquain
Daisies
Stand tall again
Refreshed by the rain
Cheery faces smile happily
At me
Cinquain
In the corner
Garden flowers meet
Sharing sun
Growing tall
Perhaps comparing blossoms
On this summer day
Shadorma
Abit chilly
Summer’s second day
Spring and Summer
Facing off
Summer declares her rights
And the sun returns
Shadorma
The longest day of the year
Sun shines a warm welcome
Summer has arrived!

Daisies by the rock
Standing tall and blossoming
Growing in a hard place
Haiku
I think we’ve all heard the saying ” between a rock and a hard place” which is an expression often used when we might be in a difficult place in our lives. We might feel helpless, hopeless, hindered, and wondering if we are ever going to get out of the situation at hand and live well again.
Well, I believe God showed me the answer this morning as my eyes fell upon this big rock on hard ground with two daisies growing right next to it. The daisies are standing tall and blooming beautifully even though they are in hard ground and not really in a place that is most ideal for growth. I doubt anyone purposely planted them there, I imagine it was a happenstance that their seed fell upon that ground, yet with determination and the divine providence of sunshine and rain they grew, and I am imagining that the rock’s presence may have been a beneficial barrier that might have given them some protection from strong winds and rain that could have otherwise beat them down to the ground.
Since I am going thru a hard time in my life right now I feel God showed me this very good lesson. I think all of us can take this to heart and when the winds of adversity blow and we are tossed to and fro, let’s determine to dig in, stand firm, grow, and bloom near the Rock who is our salvation and strength.
Adversity winds
blow, tossing lives to and fro
Stay rooted in faith
Stay rooted in faith
Bloom and grow in the hardest places
Clinging to the Rock

“The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer;
my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge,
my shield and the horn of my salvation.
He is my stronghold, my refuge and my savior—
from violent people you save me.
2 Samuel 22:2-3 NKJV
Sunlight bids, “awake”!
As it glimmers thru the trees
Morning has arrived!
