fresh flowers for Mom
blessings each in turn
return to bless us

October Poems
October goes by
one day at a time
lowering
storm windows
here and there
2013
soft grey sky
and waves to shore
autumn songs

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

B eautiful hours of

A uthors, and sometimes
R ereading beloved books

The Psalms
There are 150 Psalms, so our current series is almost complete – and only a small beginning.
The Psalms are a part of my life. Perhaps you know them well, and perhaps they are new for some readers.
When we reach Psalm 150, I will let the posts rest, and then reread. I would like to write about some of the themes: hope, love, mercy . . .
I am grateful for all who help with the pictures. You know the credits from the posts.
Thank you.
Psalm 146
While I live will I praise the LORD:
I will sing praises unto my God
while I have any being.
Psalm 146: 2
Psalm 145 and poems
Every day will I bless thee;
and I will praise thy name for ever and ever.
Psalm 145: 2
These are some of my poems about the beauty of everyday life.
new year sunrise
light fills
the red poinsettia
branches viewed
in the corner windows
beloved old tree
May sunrise
a few more flowers
on the Christmas cactus
Sunday afternoon
I know the time
by the light
summer evening
light fills the evergreens
with old and new growth
reading poems
from years ago
perennials grow
mid-July
daylilies and hosta
tell the time
frost soon –
cutting flowers
generously
rereading Psalms
colors of leaves
a deeper gold
roots in His Word
I will flower again
