early spring day
goes by and snowdrops
bloom in our yard
with tall trees
in afternoon light
early spring day

Compassion International
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.
Trust
For my post yesterday, Love, I searched for posts with the word love. I rediscovered my Short Prayer Of Trust (October 2012 and January 2014).
Dear Lord,
Thank You for this day,
which You already know.
May I follow You each moment,
and trust You more,
and so rest as I work.
Thank You for your Love . . .
POEM
long winter night
many years
go through my mind
the decades deepen
trust in God
and my heart is at peace

so quiet today
a few small waves
steadily to shore
winter grows into Lent
February 2012
quiet gardens
quiet gardens
and frozen beach
may I use this time well
