Distorted Perception ~

though

disliking

labels

I’d

disparagingly

dismissed

her

as an

underachiever

distractingly

lame

dismally

plain

devalued

no

fame

thankfully

enlightenment came

she’s

replete

with

distinction

a

bedazzling

diva

resplendent

with

jewels

dynamically claimed

~ ~ ~

inspired by Duane Scott's 

"Pleasantly Disturbed Thursdays"

Only A Weed ~

bending

low

to

pull

this errant

weed

I

saw

the stars

the sun and snow

and

tiny arms

which held

untold

much

mystery

of

God's

creative fingers

and

agility

The Meeting ~

see them

 beckoning

 through the kitchen

window

mere

acquaintance

a

hint

of

"inconvenience mutter"

under breath

I

drive

to edge of yard

to

better know them

the bold ones

the shy ones

the "sky's the limit" ones

the beginning ones

the aged ones

head

no longer teased

with

mutter

joy crept in

and

gratitude blossomed

thankful

for

the inconvenience

of

having met

relationship

time

Simple Things ~

Teach

delight

simple things

Life Lessons ~

take turns talking

{you may want to click on the photos to enlarge}

be kind to one another

put your coat on

it's

cold outside

a few facts

may just be a portion
of the truth

don't talk with your mouth full

don't bite off

more

than you can chew

when the going

gets

tough

hang in there

~ ~ ~

what are some of your

life lessons

Psalm 73:26 ~

My flesh and my heart

may fail

but

God

is the strength

of

my heart

and

my portion

forever

Psalm 73:26 NLT

Corny ~

in

amongst

the

salvia

a

corn stalk

appeared

~ ~ ~

life

is

like that

sometimes

The Dance ~

I

delight

in

the dance

of

the

flowers

and

wonder

at the music

they

hear

Milkweed ~

just

because

I

like

the light

and

the reaching

and

the promise

and

the hope

mostly

the hope

~ ~ ~

blessings of hope

for

you

A Blueberry Gift ~

my
new young

friend

brought

gift

stained

with

purple

fragranced

with sweetness

presented

in

chin-tucked

shyness

an
offering
of
the heart
