Wonders of nature
Endlessly magnificent—
Leaving us speechless
Exploring today
Nature’s defining lessons—
Always teaching us
Delightful buffet
Appreciate nature’s fare—
Nothing can compare

Man attempts to harness a bit of nature’s tranquility, but we will always know who the real star is.

The story of each stone leads back to a mountain.
Poetry is a way of looking at the world for the first time.
William Stanley Merwin (W. S.) was an American poet with over 50 books of poetry and prose. Over his lifetime (1927-2019), he was honored with numerous awards: including the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry (1971 and 2009) and becoming United States Poet Laureate in 2010.
Apostle Paul writes in Galatians 6:14: “But as for me, I will never boast about anything except the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ.”

Christ comes to the world
Bringing God’s love to us
Jesus sets the bar high
Higher than we can reach
Christ delivers two true teachings
To a sinful, unsaved world
Love your God, the Father
Love others more than yourself
Jesus does more than preach
He teaches us God’s truth
His hands heal the sick
Later pierced with sharpened nails
He raises up the dead
Just as He will rise
Christ, the Messiah, brings hope
He is Savior to mankind
Wearing a crown of thorns
Humbles himself on the Cross
Rising from a dark tomb
Christ forever defeats our sins
Christ serves His Holy Father
His sacrifice continues to give
He lives
The Resurrection lives
Eternal life lives
Respond to Christ in prayer
Humble, grateful—on our knees
Honor and praise Jesus Christ
Our eternal Savior and protector
His love lights the way
Accepting Jesus as our Savior

What you can’t go through on your own, God will help you fly over.
From Isaiah 40:31: “But those who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.”
Woodrow Kroll (born 1944) is an American pastor, Christian author, and radio host. He has written over 50 books on the Bible and Christian living.
From Isaiah 43:2: “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you, and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you.”
Storm’s surging rage
Turning away from sin
Transgressions now forgiven
Lighting faith within
Light leads our way
Stirring righteous feelings
Freed from enemy’s facade
Praising truth’s dealings
Living water
Quenching believers’ thirst
God’s glory reigning supreme
Seeing hope dispersed
Every new day
Serving merciful Lord
Countless opportunities
Calling, come aboard
Father’s guidance
Flowing from grace-filled heart
Future course plotted and set
Receiving fresh start
From Isaiah 43:25: “I alone am the one who blots out your transgressions for my own sake, and I will not remember your sins.”

In our daily walk with Jesus, be inspired to share His light with others. You just might be helping a brother or sister escape the darkness.

When you find yourself slumping in shame or giving way to guilt, remind yourself of this: You have been chosen by the Good Shepherd. He wants you in His flock.
From John 15:16: “You did not choose me, but I chose you. And I appointed you to go and bear fruit, fruit that will last, so that the Father will give you whatever you ask Him in My name.”
Experiencing lifetime of first steps
Beginning with toddler’s curious try
Tumbling down to earth from frequent missteps
Inquiring mind looking skyward to fly
Growing up quickly, ready for life’s prep
Entering grade school doors, stepping right in
Navigating each year, planting more steps
Looking always forward, career begins
Living life, one year follows another
Challenging new steps arriving each day
Recalling advice from caring mother
Stepping out, traveling each new highway
Remembering this life’s countless missteps
Smiling at grandchildren’s beginning steps
