Today is a bright, beautiful day.
There are mild waves on the inland sea.
The wind is drifting in spurts through the woods.
Flora that we can see is beautiful.
Little animals and birds are present looking for food.
It is an amazing musical sound when you listen to it all.
That is the way in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
We are not the only beautiful location, but when
you are here you would think so.
Sometimes it is difficult to remain at peace.
There is so much evil going on in the world.
One dictator pretends he is the good doer,
But his soldiers are killing the husbands and sons of
The innocent mothers of the so-called enemy.
In other places, our brothers and sisters are being
deprived of food and water. They are enduring a state
of malnutrition. Insects are devouring crops and
water requires arduous journeys. The good news is that
many have not lost their faith in Jesus. They trust in Him.
They are faithful to Him, and pray to Him, with thanksgiving.
We were instructed to help these children of God, who
Are living in destitution. Every gift, large or small will help.
We will be called upon to answer for our deeds and
Judged accordingly. Let us pray and do good and then
Do better. Let us leave the angels in awe. Meanwhile we
Are thankful for the beauty we have been given.
