As I pray the Psalms for health and peace, I read this verse again, from our 2020 series. The post was from April 17, 2020. And I know many people are praying always.
But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God:
I trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever.
Psalm 52: 8

morning clouds
here and there
enough light for the lily
lilies-of-the-valley
fragrance of forgiveness
memories of love
each flower
a star for a time

Peace be within thy walls,
and prosperity within thy palaces.
For my brethren and companions’ sakes,
I will now say, Peace be within thee.
Because of the house of the LORD our God,
I will seek thy good.
Psalm 122: 7 – 9

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
