Whoa!!
The morning dissolved in errands that started at sun-up,
then to a batch of bread...
a pan of granola bars
(recipe note: substitute dried cranberries with any dried fruit, or chipits)
and if I don't have barley flakes I substitute quick oats and ground flax seed
...also, speaking from experience, the 20 min. cool time is optional if you want a sample sooner😀
and the whole morning had intermittent explosions/interruptions of harmonica music
(my new toy thanks to some Christmas gift$$$
and an invitation to play for the kids at church on Sunday)!
Hello, heaven’s halo gleaming
From a vault unplumbed, unfurled
Like a fount of sequins streaming
Through Want’s dreaming, scheming world
Where progression and tradition
Engage in clashing ideals
Locking horns in opposition
While time spins and thins its wheels
Hello morning, Mercy’s token
Fixed where every eye can see
God has spoken, darkness broken
By Ageless Authority
He bestows gracious oblation
Dawn throbs with love’s melody
Pouring like an invitation
Beckoning ‘come unto Me’
Hello, hope and heartache tango
Teaching us the art of trust
How to hold and how to let go
In this dance of dust-to-dust
Hello, happiness and hunger
Learning love’s rhythm and rhyme
Where no one is growing younger
In the arms of Father Time
Hello, season-circuit rider
On a phantom carousel
Of spring, summer, autumn, winter
Until we bid time farewell
Farewell, legacy-composer
Farewell, fleeting breath-by-breath
Hello, morning drawing closer
The awakening in death

Listened to this song from my daughter's playlist
this morning...
Psalm 136:1
Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good!
For His mercy endures forever.
His loving devotion endures forever.
His compassion rests on all He has made.
