Being a disciple involves becoming a learner, a student of the Master.
From Ephesians 6:7: “Render service with enthusiasm, as for the Lord and not for humans.”
Winter nurtures peaceful scene
Warmest memories roam free
Earth no longer dressed in green
Snow covering every tree
Chimney sends welcoming smoke
Greeting from kitchen’s warm flame
Early morning’s comfy cloak
Cook stove’s crackling wood lays claim
Small cabin nestled in woods
Hidden from anyone’s view
Pantry filled with nature’s goods
Winter’s satisfying brew
Never more perfect setting
Looking up at mountain slopes
Arctic air never sweating
Preserving tomorrow’s hopes
Midnight’s twinkling moonlight beams
Postponing scheduled chinook
Winter’s sketches replay dreams
Precious pages fill scrapbook

Play is the highest expression of human development in childhood for it alone is the free expression of what is in a child’s soul.
What the child imitates he is trying to understand.
Friedrich Froebel (1782-1852) was a German pedagogue who was one of the most influential educational reformers during the 19th century. He has long been considered to be the founder of kindergarten.
From Matthew 5:6: “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.”
Sitting on grassy hillside
Hearing Christ’s blessed teachings
Thirst for righteousness, be filled
Spirit forever reaching
Gathering each disciple
Walking ahead of His flock
Shepherd leading faithful sheep
Kingdom’s always steady rock
Answering God in heaven
Blessing each thought and action
Each stranger shall be welcomed
Peace filling hope’s new traction
Lifting up from fallen steps
Bearing fruits, quiet manger
Power of praying Spirit
Faith’s confident game changer
Thirsting no more, risen Light
Resurrecting blood-stained love
God wipes away every tear
Joy forever sings above
From Revelation 7:16-17: “They will hunger no more and thirst no more; the sun will not strike them, nor any scorching heat, for the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd, and He will guide them to springs of the water of life, and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”
