If we treated everyone we meet with the same affection we bestow upon our favorite cat, they, too, would purr.

Home is where we tie one end of the thread of life.

Martin Buxbaum (1912-1991) was an American writer.  Blind at birth, he underwent a cataract operation which restored his sight.

Blessed interactions

Walking daily with Jesus Christ

Giving thanks to Father above

Faith breathes from mercy’s love

 

Destiny set before thee

Serving Father, bearing His fruit

Trusting, maturity wakens

Light never forsaken

 

Patience set before thee

Nurturing each growth spurt of faith

Thriving from Savior’s precious grace

Darkness leaving this place

 

Wisdom’s breath upon thee

Embracing knowledge now given

Pursuing Christ’s shadow of light

Today’s hope remains bright

 

Transformation’s focus

Blessing Father’s lasting presence

Opening salvation’s gateway

Truth travels faith’s highway

Saturday’s Sweetness

Free and quiet morning

Saturday adorning

 

Reading God’s Holy Word

Clear thoughts, no longer blurred

 

Sun rises and brightens

Calmness breathes, enlightens

 

Workweek taking its break

Making buckwheat pancakes

 

Listening to new song

Beat of life moves along

 

One more coffee cup sings

Caffeine never hamstrings

 

Good vibes fueling this life

Waiting for lovely wife

 

Looking forward as one

Day brings plenty of fun

 

Watching Buckeyes’ football

Scarlet and Gray now call

 

Excuse our loud cheering

Assisting team’s steering

 

Night closing and ending

Sleep soon, not pretending

 

Each week’s sweetest, fun day

Always, be Saturday

 

This photo was taken at the annual Scarlet and Gray Spring Game at Ohio State’s renowned Horseshoe back in 2015. Nearly every seat was filled for what was basically a scrimmage and practice. Go Bucks!
