since November we have had unusually less sunshine!
So we are delighting in the colour of this dawn's awning 😊
...but, no matter the color of the canvas, no matter the season
we have plenty of reason to take Courage!
To think enough of self to know we have something to
offer
To recognize the heart and mind will spill what fills its
coffer
To show through word and deed the seed we nurture,
briefly hidden
For what we think becomes the ink with which our lives
are written
To learn from our mistakes then leave behind vain
accusation
This day the Lord has made is cause for humble
celebration
Forbid that we ignore the gift that streams from Mercy’s
pardon
To unfold moments rife with life like buds unfold a garden
To rise and shine and count more than the woe that hurts
and hounds us
To let God’s divine love and grace encourage and confound
us
To make the most of what we have He grants before
echoes replace it
And thank Him for whatever comes because He helps us face
it
To turn the other cheek and speak words worthy of their
flower
And to forget to fret about those things beyond our power
To sense within the groan and grin that here and now composes
Reason to twirl-spin, take a bow and stop to smell the
roses
