Inspired with amusement by all our differences,
to keep life and love interesting!😍
Midst mess and mayhem
love and life unfold
in the clutter and clatter
of growing old-er
I'm de-cluttering (and spring-ifying) today after the weekend...
(don't you oh, so dearly love everyone
who adds a bit of clutter and clatter to your life?!!)
Flash-back to some Tuesday echoes 💗
Differing perspectives and personalities can make for some lively discussion sometimes...
(so kiddos leave to get lost in books while adults linger at the table)
...but let's never let it get in the way of love!
Ahoy! An envoy of eclectic attitudes embarks
From east to west on quests wrestling life's exclamation marks
Some ho-hum-hum and dum-de-dum, for they are more laid back
Than others who resemble predators poised for attack
Yet all together somehow while we fight with right and wrong
We are commanded to learn how to love and get along
Aha! The law of love runs through a pothole-riddled road
Some (seem to) dodge them all, some wheels fall off, some stumble ‘neath life’s load
But oh, we should remember we are all broken while bound
Toward That, which makes us all fellowmen on common ground
Where altogether somehow in this grin and groaning grind
We are commanded to encourage one another and be kind
Ho-ho! The ebb and flow of dawn to dusk is like a barge
That edges ever closer to where trav’lers disembark
Where now we are still tethered in an all-together Here
Before the ways we weather with one breath will disappear
So, then let’s all together somehow, by God’s grace each day we live
Obey His great command to love each other and forgive

Sunday night supper at gramma's house
always includes *'tea' in a cup from the colourful mug-tower!
(oh, the race to get first dibs on a colour!)
this little tradition always ends up soon involving a mop
as L'il Lady and Gentleman are still learning the art of sipping without spilling😋
* a splash of tea topped with much milk and a drizzle of honey
