Tomorrow’s Hope

Photo by Erhan Dayu0131 on Pexels.com

Touching each distant star
Heavens open with joy
Journey’s welcome radar
Preparing to deploy

Viewing horizon’s light
Landscape’s inviting scene
Echoes of spirit’s flight
Embracing all that’s green

Flowing from river’s grace
Life awakens from peace
Eagerly keeping pace
Fitting each puzzle piece

Scaling mountainous peak
World sharing its footprints
Tomorrow’s hope one seeks
Sharing every imprint

Hearing contented voice
Comfort softens each heart
Truth offers steadfast choice
Stepping into day’s start

Beverly Cleary Quotes

Nothing in the whole world felt as good as being able to make something from a sudden idea.

I think the best teachers had a real interest in the subject they were teaching and a love for children.

Beverly Cleary (1916-2021) was an American writer who published countless books which appealed to the interests of young children as well as creating fiction offerings for young adults.

Monday Memories: Eternal and Lasting

From Psalm 100:4-5:  “Enter His gates with thanksgiving, and His courts with praise.  Give thanks to Him, bless His name.  For the Lord is good; His steadfast love endures forever, and His faithfulness to all generations.”

Master of creation’s universe

Father’s love, boundless and enduring

Defying mankind’s understanding

Endless waterfall, reassuring

 

God’s lasting presence covers this earth

Filled with unending mercy and care

Sharing His love, bringing us gladness

Hearing concerns, answering prayers

 

Our world rotates between night and day

Yet, God never ceases His labors

Cherishing us, sheep in His pasture

Caring and loving us—as neighbors

 

God’s eternal and lasting love flows

Filling every second with love

His steadfast love shall always prevail

Sharing His love from heaven above

From the words of Christian writer, Corrie ten Boom:  “There is no pit so deep that God’s love is not deeper still.”
