Sunrise Glow

Glow in the morning
So intense was its glory
That it warmed the heart

Empty Nest

It's an empty nest
Wonder where they have all gone
They're all on the wing

Walk After Dark

Derry, Northern Ireland
~~~~~~~

A walk after dark
Offers quiet and repose
Oh, tranquility

~~~~~~~

We were in Derry overnight and it was grand.  It was just a short walk to the City Walls from our hotel.  The wall were built in the 17th century around the city center as fortification.  It was quiet and serene.  I suspect it was not always like that, but it was a wonderful time for us.

Feather In The Grass


 Feather in the grass
Lost on the wing in the air
Floating to the ground

~~~~~~~

Spring and Fall are times that allow us to find  so many treasures.  Summer is to hot and Winter is too cold.  Have you guessed which seasons are my favorite?  Have a wonderful weekend!

~~~^j^~~~
Thanks be to God!

Fog On the Ohio



 As the sun rises
The fog on the Ohio
Acts as its curtain
~~~~~~~
On those glorious walks along the Ohio River, the morning is by far the most beautiful.  She offers so many surprises.  I just have to be open to them.

Thanks be to God!

Spring With the Dogwood


A dogwood's blossom
Wonderful and beautiful
She announces Spring

~~~~~~

Having been raised in Colorado, the dogwood was a rare sight.  I'd really not experienced her beauty until we moved to Indiana.  And here, when spring arrives, the whole of the state blossoms.  She is in my neighbor's yard, along the highway, and on every hillside.  Spring becomes a joyful season for me when I see her blossoms!

Thanks be to God!

Glorious Pansies


Glorious pansies
Happiness, beauty of spring
Hardy in the sun
~~~~~
When you are blessed with a weekend on retreat, time for reflection is offered in many ways.  For me the pansy is a gorgeous and hardy plant.  It survives in cold and heat and yet it maintains its beauty!  For that I am truly grateful.  Lasting through the summer and fall the pansy is a lesson in perserverence.

Thanks be to God!

The Great Sand Dunes

View of Great Sand Dunes
In the Distance

God moves quietly
It's a rocky mountain high
That heals a tired soul
~~~
It's been years since I've visited the Great Sand Dunes National Park.  It is truly amazing.  It's like being in the Sahara Desert, but when you look up you see the mountains, glorious and majestic.  Oh, the glory of God's creation!

Agony In the Garden



Garden of Gethsemane


Agony's garden
While Peter, James and John slept
Jesus prayed and wept

~~~~~~~

While we anticipate the joy of Easter, we must also share in the agony our Savior experienced.  For it is for us that He suffered and died.  Only because of Good Friday can we celebrate our salvation on Easter Sunday with our Risen Lord.  
~~^j^~~
Happy Easter 
and
Thanks be to God!

Dependency


There are those times
When one must rely on help
Thanks be for that help

~~~~~~~
For the last several weeks I've been incapcitated.  It was elective surgery on my foot and I  had to stay in bed for two weeks.  Darned if that isn't really hard!  But now I'm up and at 'em.  

~~~^j^~~~
Thanks be to God!!

Cathy

~~~~~~~

Reflect seriously on what you desire to do; above all 
pray much that our dear Lord may make known 
to you what he wishes you to do.

On the Sea ofGalilee




To be on the shore 
Of the Sea of Galilee 
At the Master's feet

~~~~~~~

I remember the day we were there so vividly.  It was windy as it must have been when our Lord calmed the  waters.  It was sunny, the sky was clear, unlike the storm but a bit frightful.  Oh, the beautifiul legacy we have as brothers and sisters in Christ.

A Cardinal Event

Card'nal red

In the midst of icy glare

Sign of hope

~~~~~~~

This gentleman brightened my day yesterday as we were again confined to home, not because of pandemic but because of the weather.  Though the ice is lovely to see it is Mother Nature's reminder that she is in control and you have to follow her rules.  We were  fortunate that we did not lose power but we were nonetheless careful and followed "Mother's" rules.  Yes, we did!

Burst of Glory



A burst of glory
In the midst of the morning
Touches the deepest soul

~~~~~~~

It seems of late I've been drawn to the sunrise.  Can't tell you why.  Maybe it's because I find the early morning, even in it's quiet tranquility, an explosion of beauty can burst into my vision!  For that I am eternally grateful!
