where we are"

Rural at Heart ~

I've

celebrating

the completion

numerous

medical tests

rejoicing

in being home

Light ~

Now, God be praised, that to believing souls gives light in darkness, comfort in despair.

Grounded ~

broken winged

he

watches

created

to

fly

waiting

for

her return

longing

forever grounded

~ ~ ~

his mate

and their "kids" have remained faithful

all summer

migration is imminent

Green Hope ~

Romans 15:13

in

The Message Bible,

has

such an air

of

anticipation in it.

 " Oh!

May the God of green hope

fill you up with joy,

fill you up with peace,

so that your believing lives,

filled with the life-giving energy of the Holy Spirit,

will brim over

with hope!"

The color green denotes life and growth.

So it should be with hope ... continually growing, producing more life.

strong as iron

His

weightless presence

enfolds

and

carries me

while

Heaven whispers

Zechariah

Nuts ~

folklore

has it

that

an abundance

of
