after rain
the beautiful earth
and gardens grow
sunlight in my study
praying the Psalms
on a Sunday afternoon
country cemetery
trumpet vines
growing taller
than the gravestones

Thou wilt keep him
in perfect peace,
whose mind is stayed on thee:
because he trusteth in thee.
Isaiah 26: 3 (KJV)
early spring day
goes by and snowdrops
bloom in our yard
with tall trees
in afternoon light
What was the best compliment you’ve received?

Unto thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul.
Remember, O LORD,
thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses;
for they have been ever of old.
Psalm 25: 1, 6
Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness:
thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress;
have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.
Psalm 4: 1

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.
still room
for robins in spring
broken branch
covered with snow
by my study window

evergreens and sky
is blue – some snow
on branches
yet more green today
I think of snowdrops
in spring
