Nary a word
Did I hear
Of the President
I hold so dear
Next weekend will be
His birthday, I see
But today is the real
Day, don’t you see?
So Happy Birthday to Abe
To Lincoln take a bow
And honor his memory
Celebrate his life now!
In your home
Honor all, love dearly,
Let agape love reign
And share His message clearly.
Abraham Lincoln said, “The strength of a nation lies in the homes of its people.”
Want to know the secret to multiple successes?

Now you have it!
Go get it!
The snowy day
the outside’s miserable
the temperature’s so low
The house is warm
the cold wind howls
the motion in – is slow
The coffee perks
the cup invites
the second refill now
The Lord awaits
the rocking chair
the heart that takes a bow
The journey up
the entry stairs
the place I feel devout
The Bible’s open
the Holy Spirit’s peace
the voice that seldom shouts
The invitation to be
the person God created
the inspiration to give
The joyful life
the life of service
the voice calls me to live
Do you hear Him, too?
Sharing special days
Like our anniversary
Makes them more special
Inviting good friends
To celebrate days with us
Increases friendship
Generously share
Days of sweet significance
Multiply your joy
Share a lovely meal
Happy Birthday, dear friend, at
Sacajawea!
.
First picture up there
Was seven short years ago
Here’s fifty-seven!
Wonderful wedding
Beautiful cake and event
My how the time flies!!
Have we changed a lot?
Inside we are still the same
Keeping love alive!
.
Tell me about some sharing you’ve done that multiplied your joy!
Ecclesiastes
Assures us in chapter seven
Faith flows eternal
If faith’s eternal,
Shouldn’t my faith lead me straight?
Why do I wander?
.
Are you always right?
All your decisions are great?
You’re delusional!
.
All of us at times
Make boneheaded decisions.
Thank God for His Grace!
.
All the rivers flow
Into the eternal sea,
Yet it never fills.
.
My river of faith
Is evolving to follow –
Not because of me
.
God’s got me covered
In spite of my boneheaded
Circuitous routes.
.
Lord, lead me into
Your sweet everlasting sea;
Guide my faith river.
Amen

This is a link to the blogger from whom I borrowed the picture of those loving hands reaching out in my last post titled “Bring Peace.” I recently discovered her posts and am enjoying the chance to peruse her blog titled Peace-Renewal-Bold-Clarity. Lotsa good thoughts there. Check it out!
Are you feeling trapped?
Know someone else who is?
Rescuing people isn’t like
The funny saying on my apron.
.
I can’t pick you up,
Tip you sideways,
And pour you out
Of your trap.
.
But in all seriousness,
We help rescue one another.
We can help others
Escape their traps.
.
Now don’t look at me
And call me Pollyanna.
I’m not a do-gooder,
But I have a secret.
.
It’s the path to love.
It’s the joy and peace
That are absolutely mine.
The path is Jesus!
.
Yes, the right answer
Was learned on Sunday
Way back when you
Were just a little kid.
.
Your Sunday School teacher
Asked you a question,
And you had the key to answer:
“Jesus!” He is the Way!
.
Don’t believe me?
Give Him a try.
If you’re feeling trapped,
Give your struggles to Jesus.
.
My Lord saved the groom
At the wedding feast.
He turned water into wine
And the guests celebrated.
.
If He can do that,
He can turn your challenges
Into learning opportunities.
He can unlock your traps!
.
I hope you really know
That guy named Jesus
Who came to unlock
The traps that bind us.
.
If He isn’t your friend,
I invite you to get acquainted.
Let Him rescue you.
He stands at your heart door.
.
Open it! Don’t remain
Trapped in a bottle, or
In sorrow, or in pain.
Whatever your question…
.
The answer is simply, “Jesus!”
He came to save us
From our entrapments.
Learn from Him – and be free!
.
I thought yesterday
was cold enough in Ennis;
Montana is cold!
Minus four degrees!
Then this morning’s reading is
Minus twenty-one!
Is it cold enough?
What temperature do you have
Where you are today?
Hugs to You !!

You inspire me to respond
Learning to Live; Living to Learn; Learning to Love; Living in Love
