I sat down to eat
Breakfast on this cold morning
Amazing outside!
The grasses sparkled
Like diamonds placed there by God –
My jeweled morning gift!
I want to share it
With you and my neighbors, too
(The ones who are gone)
What’s your November 1st look like?
Yesterday it was cold, but no frost.
Today it sparkles!
What a gift!!
The calendar says it’s spring,
But the weather says it ain’t.
Hoar frost greeted my morning.
“Smile,” it said.
I replied, “I cain’t!”
Then off I went to Lenten Breakfast
While I marveled at the frost.
I skidded on the icy drive.
“Relax,” I thought.
Then wondered, “At what cost?”
I made it to the breakfast
With the help of neighborly folks.
The place was bright and cheerful.
“Let’s eat,” they invited.
I laughed at friendly jokes.
My next stop was at TOPS*
Where I weigh in to keep off pounds.
My KOPS** buddies inspire me.
“Did you eat all your breakfast?”
“Nope, I left one of the rounds!”
My reward was to wear the hat
That signified I’d lost the most weight.
What a treat – worth the feat!
“Keep up the good work!” they encouraged.
I headed home – feeling great!
The calendar says it’s spring,
But the weather says, “Not yet!”
White stuff still covers the ground.
“Smile,” it said.
Sun sparkled. I sang, “You bet!”
Are you enjoying this first day of spring?
What did YOU do??
On a cold and frosty Montana morning
I sit in my sanctuary – surrounded by angels
And the stillness within and without
Takes me to my inner sanctuary
Come and join me this morning
In the beauty of a winter day
From the warmth of my Angel Room
My place of respite, where the Holy Spirit dwells
The sky is dark and we’re in a cloud
The angels within sing quietly; they’re never loud
Jesus prays with me from His place in my cloud
And reminds me that FAITH is not for the proud
With humble appreciation, I think of the faces
Who surround me with love in these heavenly spaces
I thank God for the trees all frosty with glitter
I dream of the people gone before me – they flitter
In and out of my prayers, like the three angels here
They remind me of prayer partners far away, yet so near.
I think of the gifts of poets and artists
The angels surround me – sending thoughts that are part of us
Some are melancholy, reminding me of my sins
Others are joyful, and my gratitude spins
I remember the angel who decorated this egg
And all the other creative friends – Watch over them, I beg
Help my friends who are ill and need special care
Shine Your light on them… let them know You are there
Bring them comfort and health and wisdom galore
Hold them close to Your Heart, Lord, give them so much more…
… than ever they dreamed of; like the birds of the air
Let them know you are with them; show them how much You care.
As the darkness subsides and the blue sky emerges,
Send them all Your GREAT LOVE that in my heart surges…
Great love for the angels that brighten my day.
And now, my dear friends, I send some your way!
Go on your blessed, lovely, angel-filled way!And thanks for joining me in my sanctuary today.
Hugs to You !!
