River
Mighty waters
Life paddles on
Trusting in God’s Spirit
Faith
Choices
Sowing seeds
Pleasing to God
Following footsteps of Christ
Blessed
Lost
In darkness
Grace comes calling
Accepting through faith, Jesus
Salvation
Hearing little feet
Lasting gifts of family—
Blessed grandchildren
Impatient in youth
Tempered by life’s long journey—
With age comes patience
Quiet morning hour
Quality productive time—
Confidence and peace
Gentle breeze blowing
Autumn leaves fluttering down—
Fading memories
Pollen count drops low
Refreshing air we now breathe—
Morning rains arrive
Morning’s early dawn
Fog blankets each creek and pond—
What mysteries wait?
Seeds sown and watered
Only God provides the growth—
Living with purpose
Through grace and mercy
God offers us Salvation—
Won by our Savior
Trusting Holy Truth
Discovering our new self—
Our true home in Christ
Totally absorbed
Where did the afternoon go?
Reading a new book
Tuesday afternoon
Never missing preciousness—
Granddaughter’s tea time
Friday afternoon
Seconds, minutes, hours announce—
Five o’clock somewhere
Hero’s life seems stuck
Unanswered questions abound—
Pausing, writer’s block
Feeling overworked
Watching over eager lad—
Guardian angel
Running to the bus
Excited for his school day—
Pizza pie for lunch
Leading precious sheep
Rod and staff always comfort
Caring tenderly
Call upon the Lord
His love fills with righteousness—
Accepting His Grace
Our Father is near
Safeguarding our hearts and minds—
Rejoice in His peace
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
