Endless days
Rain with cold
Clouding ways
Hidden folds
Journey’s road
Whispers heard
Bearing loads
Past unblurred
Rhythm’s pace
Patience calls
Giving chase
Freedom stalls
Darkness reigns
Future waits
Changing lanes
Freshens fate
Clouds depart
Sun arrives
Thawing heart
Full of drive
Outlook warms
Boldness shines
Leaving storm
Day looks fine

Nobody cares if you can’t dance well. Just get up and dance.
It always rains on tents. Rainstorms will travel thousands of miles, against prevailing winds for the opportunity to rain on a tent.
Dave Barry (born 1947) is an American author and columnist. Many of his writings include humor and parody.
From Genesis 1:1-3: “When God began to create the heavens and the earth, the earth was complete chaos, and darkness covered the face of the deep, while a wind from God swept over the face of the waters. Then God said, ‘Let there be light,’ and there was light.”
Stillness of another day
Creator’s spirit thrives
Composing eloquent song
Gentleness arrives
Morning’s sun always arrives
Creator’s love surrounds
Flowing with eternal peace
Harmony’s background
Wilderness coming alive
Creator’s welcome breath
Fathering tomorrow’s hope
Life renews from death
Nature’s intimate whispers
Creator’s rhythmic beat
Offering eternal joy
Love where rivers meet
Daylight replaces nightfall
Creator’s timeless clock
Aligning earth with heavens
Spirit’s key unlocks
From John 1:1-3: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through him, and without him not one thing came into being.”

Precious butterfly
Creator’s natural art—
Fragile, yet strengthened
Summer’s final days
Another field ripening—
Harvest’s bounty waits
Calendar’s page turns
Landscape knowing its schedule—
Morning’s autumn peace

All the flowers of all the tomorrows are in the seeds of today.
Whatever you do, put romance and enthusiasm into the lives of our children.
Margaret Read MacDonald (born 1940) is an American storyteller and award-winning author of children’s books.
From Proverbs 13:7: “Some pretend to be rich, yet have nothing; others pretend to be poor, yet have great wealth.”
Living a life, pleasing only to self
Ignoring God, leaving Him on a shelf
Competitive world, craving ambition
Pleasing to God, never this life’s mission
High expectations, demanding more time
Living the dream, seeking ladders to climb
Mankind commands, chasing full-time career
Pleasing to God, never happens this year
Targets set higher, with each passing week
Hustling to scale, another highest peak
Life fills with emptiness, something amiss
Pleasing to God, change focus . . . lasting bliss
God lights the way, spiritual journey
Coming to Him, forgo the attorney
Heart and mind, accept Father’s deepest love
Pleasing to God, eyes now find Him above
Daily meditation, filled with God’s Word
Rejoicing in His truth, no longer blurred
Priorities flip, following the Lord’s light
Pleasing to God, faithful voyage takes flight
From Ephesians 5:8-10: “For once you were darkness, but now in the Lord you are light. Live as children of light–for the fruit of the light is found in all that is good and right and true. Try to find out what is pleasing to the Lord.”
