I truly believe delegation begins with trusting others–followed by letting go.
The hardest thing to do is take that first step to overcome fears and self-doubt.

From Psalm 118:1: “O give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His steadfast love endures forever!”

Christ shall endure forever
Witnessing His steadfast love
Forgiveness heals brokenness
Righteousness flows from above
Christ journeys to Calvary
Bringing man’s darkness with Him
Sin’s valley of death’s shadow
Light waiting at heaven’s rim
Christ becomes faith’s cornerstone
Yielding to Father’s design
Truth waiting at Roman cross
Sacred blood pays every fine
Christ foils enemy’s insults
Shedding eternity’s wrath
Love borne, no matter its cost
Promised grace reveals faith’s path
Christ builds heaven’s trusted bridge
Rising from now empty tomb
Passion’s flames light mercy’s quest
Brought forth into Father’s room

From Psalm 118:19: “Open to me the gates of righteousness, that I may enter through them and give thanks to the Lord.”

Distant memory
Winter’s breath melted away—
Rebirth springing up

Crisp April morning
Afternoon promises warmth—
Daffodils dancing

Sun’s setting calmness
Another night, nature rests—
Guaranteed sunrise

The glory of creation is in its infinite diversity.
I consider reading the greatest bargain in the world.

Early morning walk, going back in time
Autumn’s breath creates thoughts, filling with rhyme
Trekking along canal’s ancient pathway
Thoughts caress past moments, plenty to say
Gentle breeze, sending leaves twirling on down
Mind arrives at different time and town
Dreaming . . .
More simple times, without high tech living
Days invite, delightful and forgiving
Riding bareback along this old canal
Looking for trees to climb with school-age pals
Fishing one final time, nearby pond waits
When icy winter comes, change to ice skates
Creepy, storm-filled nights, reading classic prose
Edgar Allen Poe’s words, scary shadows
Looking for literature’s lighter themes
Whitman, Hawthorne, Melville adding to dreams
Quiet evenings filled with family time
Gathered around for radio’s primetime
Crisp, fall afternoon, gridiron titans clash
College football rivals looking to smash
Romance blossoms, courtship takes center stage
Life filling with sweetness, each turning page
Back to reality . . .
Journey runs into closed gate at Rager Road
Turning around, grateful for time borrowed
Looking forward to walking here real soon
Fondest memories, let them sing a tune
