Karl and I sponsor three children with Compassion International. They are from three countries, and they live with their families. We receive letters and updates. I plan to write some Easter notes soon. We have worked with them for years, and there are many ways to help.

What is the greatest gift someone could give you?
Daily Prompt
Encouragement is a wonderful gift. I am grateful.
When are you most happy?
Daily Prompt
I am grateful for simple everyday life. The house is warm, we have water, and I am able to sit and write a post. As others have written about the Psalms, we can learn to be grateful through our life chapters. There can be new happiness after grief.
We are sponsoring children in different countries with Compassion International. This week, through their email cards and help with translation, we sent Christmas and New Year greetings. And a general small gift to help with vaccinations in the world. This too is gratitude. We also support efforts to care for others here in Wisconsin, USA.
Take good care. Thank you and blessings.
Is your life today what you pictured a year ago?
Daily Prompt
I think a lot about what these last years have asked of everyone, in many ways. My 2022 calendar reflects goals met, new ideas, and revised goals. I have postponed a new book a few times (health and schedules), yet Quiet Christmas Poetry (2014) continues to be shared with others. So I am content with my work this year.
You can read all of the poems for free at Quiet Christmas Poetry.
So the year begins to end with gratitude and hope. Grateful for blogs and this way to create. One day at a time, God’s grace.
But as it is written,
eye hath not seen,
nor ear heard,
neither have entered
into the heart of man,
the things which
God hath prepared
for them that love him.
1 Corinthians 2: 9 (KJV)
I love the LORD,
because he hath heard
my voice and
my supplications.
Psalm 116: 1
