To me, it has been a sense of great comfort and strength in the day of battle, just to remember that the secret of steadfastness, and indeed, of victory, is the recognition that the Lord is at hand.
From 2 Corinthians 1:3-4: “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and the God of all consolation, who consoles us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to console those who are in any affliction with the consolation with which we ourselves are consoled by God.”
Duncan Campbell (1898-1972) was a Scottish missionary.and evangelist.
Excited for weekend
Highway’s invitation
Stopping in Laurelville
Morning’s breakfast station
Greeted by big blue sky
Hocking Hills calling out
Tasting landscape’s beauty
Daffodils set to sprout
Battered red pick-up truck
Pair of windows rolled down
Offering scent of spring
Backroads leading from town
Coffee Emporium
Partnered with sweetest treats
Gathering up goodness
Harmony’s faithful beat
Old Man’s Cave reigns ahead
Tranquility’s home base
Sharing nature’s spirit
Creator’s blessed place
My wife and I stop in at the Coffee Emporium once a week for fantastic coffee, warm and friendly hospitality, and delicious food. It is located between Logan and Old Man’s Cave. (Courtesy of Pinterest)

A true friend is the one who holds your hand and touches your heart.
It is not true that people stop pursuing dreams because they grow old, they grow old because they stop pursuing dreams.

Landscape glistens white
Winter gift-wrapped for one day—
Melting tomorrow
Calendar page turns
Blistering heat dome moves in—
Spring’s ironic script
Thunderstorm descends
Torrential raindrops blossom—
Floodgates spring to close

Change is an event but transition is the process that you go through in response to the change.
Beginnings are also scary, for they require a new commitment.
William Bridges (1933-2013) was an American author and consultant. Much of his writing focused on managing the human side of change.
From Exodus 20:2-3: “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery; you shall have no other gods before Me.”
Each day’s beginning
Scheduling His Word
Moments with Father
Embracing what’s heard
Any given hour
Pausing for prayer
Spirit nurtures trust
Erasing despair
Daily worship time
Praising Lord above
Uplifted in faith
Witnessing His love
Blessed fellowship
Caring for others
Never too busy
Serving another
This day now ending
Resting in His grace
Heartbeat of Father
Transforming hope’s place
From Romans 8:28: “We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, who are called according to His purpose.”
