Day: December 12, 2021

Light snow from the window view

Turned into a six-inch nightmare

My work today as always is in

The hands of Jesus.  There are

Things to do, shoveling primarily.

This is not critical but staying close

To Jesus is as is trusting in him.  I

Want to keep His presence near and

Call out His name.  My relationship

With him is important, but so often

It is each to forget.  I pray that I

Remember every minute.  Today I end

Worrying and plan to be stronger in

My working for the Lord.  I begin now

Planning for the New Year and the joy

I hope to find with my resolution.  Amen

A GOOD DAY

This day went by and

It was the little things

That left me in wonder

While the major happenings

Passed me by.

Some say ignorance is bliss

I thought the sun reflecting

Off the snow mountains at

The shoreline was amazing

I overheard a complaint about

A glitch in unemployment

Payments for someone

Temporarily laid off and

I thought this was

A world I never made.

I watched 122 railroad cars

Cross the road in front of me

No problem, I was not in a hurry

All of the things I needed for

My income tax work were

Right where I left them

I felt like a pioneer driving through

The whirling snow in my truck

At naptime, I dreamt that

Lionel Leo Hampton was playing

A special percussion piece for me

The howling of the wind woke me

I tended to a few chores, then

Watched the sunset. 

The reflection on the lake

Made it appear to be two suns

The color was magnificent

I fixed a simple dinner

Sweet potatoes and applesauce

A little white wine for me

An Agatha Christy mystery

Gave proof to the fact that

I am not much of a detective

The kitchen was cleaned and

That about did it, except for

Late evening prayers

Life can be simple and beautiful
