July 4th
God’s Fireworks
Light up the horizon
And set nighttime heavens soundlessly
Ablaze!

(As our neighborhood and city was putting on a very noisey fireworks display, God entered with the most beautiful brilliant sunset that awed many)

Given new mercies
Everyday, why accept
Mediocracy?
Senryu
It is of the LORD’S mercies (goodness, kindness, favor)
that we are not consumed, (destroyed, ended)
because his compassions ( tender love, caring) fail not.
They ( goodness, kindness, favor, caring, tender love) are new every morning:
great is thy faithfulness )
Lamentations 3:22-23
If God offers us the chance to have a marvelous day every morning, why do we settle for less?

Balloons are nothing without
Air and neither are we.

Lesson:
Our lives are
Only as good as our
Next deposit into them.
Seek to aerate your life daily

Wind lifts fallen leaves

Flower in full bloom
Dancing in the summer breeze
Shared its fragrance
Haiku

This little flower wasn’t in the garden of a queen,
Or even in a place where it might be seen,
Yet it was beautifully dressed,
Looking it’s best, as if blessed,
Bringing joy where it dwelt,
Sharing fragrance with any who smelt.
Oh that I, daily might try, to be
An affinity, in similarity.
Rhyme

For many a year
I lived with my greatest fear.
Controlled by his power,
I used to cower
At the thought of leaving him.
But as my eyes became dim,
I had to make a choice
To listen to him, or another’s voice
Who was telling me
From this fear I had to flee.
So as God held my hand,
I made a stand!
I faced that fear, told it to go.
It stared at me, and it said “NO!”
Knees shaking, I dug in my feet,
I was determined it to defeat!
I stood my ground,
New strength I found,
To conquer fear’s intimidating frown,
And make it shrink,and back down.
And then with God’s power I overcame,
I crushed that fear in Jesus’ Name!
