POEM
a small card
in a devotional book
from a thrift store
words of encouragement
from one person to another
I keep the card with the book
and its history today
and tomorrow

October 2018 begins with rain and wind. A good day for blogs and books.

my coffee gets cold
guess I made it
for the fragrance

” . . . whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.”

I enjoy reading memoirs.
Cynthia Reyes – the blog of Canadian author Cynthia Reyes – wrote A Good Home: A Memoir and An Honest House: A Memoir, Continued. I reread both books this year, and you can learn more at her site.
Luci Shaw is another author I reread, her poetry and prose. God in the Dark: Through Grief and Beyond is a classic. Adventure of Ascent: Field Notes from a Lifelong Journey is another generous book. Luci’s official website has more information; see the All Titles page. She also has a page for New Releases.

outside my study window
some days God seems so clear
other days I must dwell more deeply
in my reading of the Psalms

writing and reading
I don’t see the dust

I remember
and know He does not forget
and understands
with Love
Psalm 103: 14 (KJV)
For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth we are dust.
