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.
I searched in my archives for a few poems about light.
these days
my heart is drawn
to pray more
and contemplate
the Light of the World
John 1: 5a (KJV): And the light shineth in darkness . . .
light shines
through one window
and falls on the wood
frame of another
the light is shared
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)
every day a gift
from God and
so grateful
sunrise and
reflections
prayers
simple work
in the kitchen
time to read
every day a gift
lighting the
Christmas candle
tiny flame
transforms
the night
