We hold a breathless love for grand daughter, Lydia Grace.
This little blond girl keeps us hoppin’
her energy level’s non-stoppin’
chasin’ the dog
or playin’ leapfrog
the outdoors begs us to go rompin’ !

I have a dear grandson named Lincoln
whose cuteness can sometimes be stinkin’
I caught his sweet face
his blue eyes? not a trace
Saying “cheese” is too cheesy, I’m thinkin’
under his wings

God covers me
with his gentle hand
like a warm coat
in winter winds.
He covers me
with his wide mercy
like a big umbrella
in spring downpour.
He covers me
with his tender love
like a bridal tent
in summer sun.
He covers me
with his life’s blood
like a full pardon
in fall starkness.
He covers me
with his eternal grace
like a safe shelter
in all seasons.
“We live under an umbrella of goodness and mercy.” (Pastor T. on Psalm 23)
“I am my beloved’s and he is mine…his banner over me is love.” (Song of Songs)

Oh,
look at
that!
He posted photos
on facebook AGAIN
of their most recent
exotic VACATION…
some tropical island
resort, of course.
They’re always
FLYING off together;
and they’re NOT
even married! No,
they’re too YOUNG
(and foolish) yet…
Peter and Wendy,
WHERE do they
get the money?
The time, well…
THAT they seem
to have plenty of;
those two will
never-never
NEVER
grow
up!

high altitude view
i’ve got you in my radar
strategic stare-case
wife of CEO
why pre-plan from the get-go
our ducks in a row
my door is open
mixing business with pleasure
biz-speak synergy
Fun little challenge with jargon from Tony at d’Verse…

“give thanks in all things”
thankful in the broken?
yes, even though…
minds may be murky
hearts can feel hurt-full
bodies sometimes besieged
our bleeding relationships
offered as sacrifice on altar
are sweet-smelling fragrance
only in our broken-ness
can we ever become
wise, humble, healed.
there’s an aching beauty
in a cracked heirloom plate
or a rusty antique tractor
beauty begging to be
restored, renewed
to re-live again
living forever grateful!
(I Thessalonians 5:16-18)

a simple prayer
awakens heart
