The most important thing to do is really listen.
Never miss an opportunity to teach; when you teach others, you teach yourself.

Afternoon nap calls
Down, down for well-earned respite—
Up, up . . . chores to do

Sitting on park bench
Dreaming of ice cream sundae—
Time for exercise

Child’s sparkling clean room
Tornado waits in shadows—
Orderly chaos

From Ecclesiastes 3:1: “For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven.”

Winter’s snow, cannot hide
Cherished love, deep inside
During darkness of night
Her love shines, always bright
Spring’s blossoms, love shares
Life’s newness, always cares
Nature wakens, each land
Her splendor, in God’s hands
Summer’s glowing spirit
Longing to walk near it
Love growing, day by day
Her grandeur comes this way
Autumn’s colored venue
Love fills each day’s menu
Landscape treasures each thrill
Her warmth hides winter’s chill
Seasons, patient with time
Faith grows, ever in rhyme
Righteous gifts, sing as hymns
Father’s love, never dims

From Lamentations 3:22-24: “The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, His mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. ‘The Lord is my portion,’ says my soul, ‘therefore I will hope in Him.'”
