How wonderful it is nobody need to wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.
From Habakkuk 3:19: “God, the Lord, is my strength; He makes my feet like the feet of a deer and makes me tread upon the heights.”
Anne Frank (1929-1945) was a German-born Jewish girl. Her much celebrated diary chronicled her family’s life while hiding in an Amsterdam attic.
Each year follows another
Memories flowing downhill
Some filled with only sadness
Others sketched with joyful thrills
Another sunrise knocking
“Father Time” never slows down
Blessed to be alive, Amen!
One more day, praises go round
Sometimes days feel like winter
Overwhelmed with sky of gray
Other days waken to spring
Youthfulness wanting to play
Daily lessons in patience
Treasures come from smallest gifts
Appetite filled with sweetness
Road ahead, free of snowdrifts
Sunset wraps up one more day
Nightly dreams forever seek
Thankful for every blessing
Journey’s perseverance speaks

From Psalm 9:1-2: “I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart; I will tell of all your wonderful deeds. I will be glad and exult in you; I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.”
Another harvest finished
Bushels filled with Father’s grace
Spirit of thankfulness sings
Chorus of voices embrace
Gifted with bounty’s surplus
Every homestead offers praise
Spirit of Messiah sings
Mercy’s light always ablaze
Humbleness in daily walk
Morning’s sunrise praises all
Spirit of risen Lord sings
Cherished rewards come each fall
Community now gathers
Worship fills this tiny church
Spirit of faithfulness sings
Hope filling tomorrow’s search
Another spring shall arrive
Father’s glory in each seed
Spirit of thankfulness sings
Savior’s love forever freed
From Psalm 100:4-5: “Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise. Give thanks to Him; bless His name. For the Lord is good; His steadfast love endures forever and His faithfulness to all generations.”

If there were one great message I could deliver to those who struggle with not having an abundance of this world’s goods, it would be this simple yet profound promise for happiness: Great wealth is not related to money! In a word, the secret is contentment.
From Proverbs 16:8: “Better is a little with righteousness than large income with injustice.”
Welcome back sunrise
Sharing landscape’s masterpiece—
Creator with us
Autumn transitions
Fashioned by Creator’s breath—
Anxious winter waits
Horizon’s curtain
Sunset invites journey’s dreams—
Creator at rest
