Daily walk of faith
One step after another—
Following Jesus

Love be genuine
Feed enemy with goodness—
Overcome with good

Lost in wilderness
God’s GPS brings us home—
Walk never alone

Morning
Internet outage
Experiencing suspended animation
Blank screen stares back
Stuck

Perfection
Constantly searching
Patience wearing thin
Never will be content
Impossible

Always
Forgiving everything
Kind and compassionate
Never holding a grudge

Blessings with God’s joy
Lifetime moments, fulfilling—
Marriage joins as one

Eternity smiles
Husband and wife forever—
Maturing love lasts

Bride and groom unite
Faithful under our Lord’s love—
Lifelong memories

Early morning view
Magic mirror never lies—
Seeing perfection

Car slides into lake
GPS wet with errors–
Where did my map go?

Sweetest tooth talking
Escaping the day’s heat wave—
Hi Baskin-Robbins

Thinking Stephen King
Blood, sweat, tears filling each page—
Typing my novel

Bringing flowers home
Husband with best intentions—
Wilting with sadness

Golf is like taxes
Driving hard for the green, yet—
End up in the hole

Following Jesus
Running with perseverance—
Sin no longer clings

Sharing words of hope
Joining others in Jesus—
God’s endless blessings

Sow bountifully
God loves a cheerful giver—
Reap bountifully

Geese flying overhead
Echoing in morning dawn—
Nature’s alarm clock

Summer afternoon
Sweetest nectar from milkweed—
Butterflies frolic

Walking the park trail
Sensing with each cautious step—
Who’s really watching?

Bag of Oreos
Milk missing in the ice box—
Now singing the blues!

I’ve read some good books
Me as well . . . a plethora—
Never read that one

Need to hurry home
Checking out at the market—
Forgetting coffee!

Waiting for the Lord
Our hearts filling with gladness—
Trust His Holy plan

Asking God, “Why me?”
Feeling unprepared for Him—
He will walk with us

Make our hearts ready
Hearing, serving, witnessing—
Quench our thirsty souls
