May today be more than
prattle of word play
but rather a vison
with a mission!
(or is it mission with a vision😊)
Part of my mission today? window washing!!
(to clear the vision a bit😀)
Oh! and may the snow-melt continue!!
Yesterday morning-
-this morning!
As much as some of us enjoy word-play,
may today be much more!
Circumstance grants participants the chance to do our part
Compassion is a soldier that shoulders the faint of heart
Desire is a fire that requires dire care
Where altogether tethered, we weather its 'whether' (or not) share
Emotion is an ocean of devotion’s counterparts
Persuasion, the invasion of temptation’s subtle darts
Assumption is the gumption to conclude truth without facts
Pride is a deadly guide that flatters, lies, lures and distracts
Redemption is exemption from an awful debt we owed
Forgiveness the divineness of God’s grace to man bestowed
Belief, the capsheaf of achievement, arrogance undone
Salvation; liberation’s restoration through God’s Son
Poetry is the pottery from think-ink’s spinning wheel
Success is happiness with less rather than More’s appeal
Peace is release from fear, my dear, as trust hoists up its sail
With Hope, faith’s rope secured in promises that will not fail
Today is more than word-play on age-pages signed and sealed
Choice is a voice that needs no noise to have the heart revealed
Dawn is the spawn of opportunity’s brawn beckoning
Time is a stair we climb toward the Lord and reckoning

Col.3:23-24
Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart,
as working for the Lord, not for human masters,
since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward.
It is the Lord Christ you are serving.
