Peace and Love
Good morning to you
Hope you have a happy day
Filled with peace and love
The world’s in turmoil
But in my heart there is peace
It comes from my faith
I know God’s in charge
I know I have no control
Over behavior
Others’ behavior
Others’ mindset and actions
Are beyond my reach
Pray serenity
Is yours today and always
Let’s just love, okay?
Hugs,
JanBeek

Using AI
Using AI is easy
Useful and easy
But it’s only as smart as
The prompts we give it
Tell AI “useful”
And you get a new razor
But, is it easy?
Only enter easy
You get artificial plant
Can you compare them?
Razor or a plant?
Neither met my unique needs
I need languages
Useful and easy
It’s not French, but Spanish, please
AI, can you help?
I can learn Spanish
With the help of some AI
Easier than French
On-line is more fun
Than a boring old textbook
Now, don’t you agree?
Let’s go together
Do Duolingo on-line
Si, si, Amigo!
Love, JanBeek

Keep the Faith
Today’s message of hope was revealed
Through the scriptures with deep joy
And peace that passeth understanding:
Do not become withdrawn or discouraged.
Keep the faith, reach out and serve.
Set down what isn’t yours and pick up what is.
Love those around you; lift others up.
Psalm 27:1, 5 spoke to me today.
Psalms 27 of David.
1 The Lord is my light and my salvation—
whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life—
of whom shall I be afraid?
5 For in the day of troubleHe will keep me safe in His dwelling;
He will hide me in the shelter of his sacred tent
and set me high upon a rock…
We are called to leave what was …
Leave that over which we have no control.
Step out into a great light and rejoice –
Bring gladness into your new, uplifting role.
Keep the faith and walk in the light;
Spread hope and joy and gladness everywhere.
Be so positive and helpful and vibrant
That your faith and light give out hope to spare!
In Hope and Faith and Love,
JanBeek
Merry Christmas!
It is Christmas Eve
Santa is loading his sleigh
Wisemen on their way
Presents under tree
Just like those of Wisemen three
Selected with care
Praying Christmas is
A time to stop and believe
Why we celebrate
Enjoy family
Cherish all the memories
Praise God for His Son!
Cochlear implant
Brings back the world of hearing
Best Christmas of all!
Merry Christmas!
Sit a Spell
The bench is waiting
Make a picnic lunch and come
You’re good company
Look for me to join
With you and a few good friends
Cherish the friendships
Come and sit a spell
We don’t need to be hurried
Feel how love abounds
Let’s talk about love
I’ve read “Love Walked Among Us”
Paul Miller is great
What are you reading?
Let’s share a “Book Talk” today
Come and sit a spell
Hugs,
JanBeek
Embrace Your Uniqueness
What makes you unique?
Your fingerprint and your eyes,
Your hair and your smile.
Your conversation,
And your own brand of whimsy.
Do you embrace these?
Bob Goff wrote today,
“God made you this way
On purpose, freckles and all.”
He had lots of spots –
As a kid, lots of freckles.
He was teased a lot.
His grandma told him
“Those spots are angel kisses.”
So be proud of them!
“Don’t tell anyone,”
She cautioned him not to share –
“Friends would be jealous!”
That very mean boy
Who teased Bob, calling him Spot,
Wilted his soft heart.
With grandma’s advice
His insecurities left,
Finding acceptance.
Accept uniqueness!
Embrace how you’re different.
Congratulations!
Love,
JanBeek

Now how unique is that??
Grateful Heart
If you start each day
With a heart of gratitude
You will smile more
If you end each day
With a heart of gratitude
You will sleep better
If you live each day
With a heart of gratitude
You’ll see more blessings
From early sunrise
To the setting of the sun
Have a grateful heart
Swiftly flow the days
So, live each one gratefully
Giving God the praise
Love,
JanBeek

Awesome Autumn
Autumn is awesome
With spectacular colors
Breathtaking beauty
Bob’s former student, Victor Salazar, treats us every week with his “Friday Fotos.”
This “Pond in Maine” was in his last batch of pictures. It’s so spectacular, I just had to share it.
Thank you, Victor.
Our brilliant bushes
Greet friends who come to visit
Soon color is gone
Winter comes too soon
When everything turns to white
Meantime dance in leaves
Love,
JanBeek
