Sitting here, another morning’s darkness

Thinking of today’s most beautiful view

Your kindness and love arrives with a smile

Transforming this heart to radiant new

 

Traveling life’s lonely, meaningless road

Dreaming of unlocking a better life

Your cherished spirit bestows precious light

Joining together as husband and wife

 

Making beloved home for two love birds

Nurturing passion with each priceless day

Your tender, caring thoughts lead us forward

Navigating with God’s love, shows His way

 

Affirming love through joyful affection

Walking in Jesus’ perfect reflection

From Song of Solomon 4:1:  “How beautiful you are, my love, how very beautiful!  Your eyes are doves behind your veil.  Your hair is like a flock of goats, moving down the slopes of Gilead.”

Fix your eyes forward on what you can do, not back on what you cannot change.

O. Henry Quotes

Fortune is the prize to be worn.  Adventure is the road to it.  Chance is what may lurk in the shadows of the roadside.

Most wonderful of all are words, and how they make friends one with another.

O. Henry, the pen name of William Henry Porter (1862-1910), was an American writer who mastered the art of crafting short stories.

God has some extremely exciting things in mind for His children.  He knows exactly where He’s taking us.  Our job is to obey.

From Isaiah 41:10:  “Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be afraid, for I am your God; I will strengthen you; I will help you; I will uphold you with My victorious right hand.”

Charles Swindoll (born 1934) is an American pastor and Christian author.

Empathy, a parent’s ability to understand what a child is feeling, is an important and valuable ingredient of child rearing.

It is said that nature always sides with the hidden flaw.  Teachers have the opposite role; to side with the hidden asset, to minimize a child’s deficiencies, intensify his experience, and enlarge his life.

Haim Ginott (1922-1973) was an Israeli-born school teacher and child psychologist.  He pioneered techniques about how to converse with children.

David Jeremiah Quote

We should strive for complete commitment in our walk with Christ; and when the going gets rough, let us not quickly forget our promise.  Resolve to go the distance for the glory of God.

From 2 Timothy 3:14:  “But as for you, continue in what you have learned and firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it.”

David Jeremiah (born 1941) is an American pastor and Christian author.

Monday Memories: Morning Dreams

Darkness hides

Morning’s reception

Silence riddles chilly air

 

Mellow breeze

Wind chimes serenade

Peace soothing this resting soul

 

Candle glows

Dancing shadows play

Frolicking, flickering flame

 

Hot coffee

Early, steady mate

Comforting, every drop

 

Good ol’ friend

Morning hums with fun

Feeling the caffeine-fueled boost

 

Dawn’s twilight

Distant horizon

Breaking through hardheaded clouds

 

Music plays

Tunes stir memories

Jukebox sings with sunrise joy

 

Life’s pages

Another chapter

Feeling all cozy and warm

 

Dreams invite

Delightful journey

Buzzing, unmistaken joy

 

Snooze button

Calling, “Please hit me”

Let’s start all over . . . again!

Early morning darkness

Peace fills wakening mind

Gathering every word

Another light he finds

 

Candle flickers nearby

Aroma filling room

Harvesting one more thought

Imagination blooms

 

Pen continues journey

Filled with inner meaning

Opening up heart’s spirit

His garden now greening

 

Breath of past dropping in

Memories full of light

Remembering again

Solitude always bright

 

Blessed sunrise arrives

New day now waits to fill

Cascading to new page

Ripples from writer’s quill
