For Wonder-seekers



Not recovering quite as quickly from whatever I have
(not even worth the mention compared to people with really hard hardships,
but still enough to knock the wind from my sails this past week+)
has challenged me to treasure-hunt/wonder-seek! 

It also seems to be the time of year I have to dig/drill a little deeper
to find poem-oil/ink

This Feathered Friend, Red-bellied Wood-pecker, though very bashful
delights us on a daily basis right now!




Thank-you God for daily wonders...
we will find them if we seek!


Songs of joy are not depleted, sustained by the One who made
Beauty’s birthplace, undefeated by time’s four-seasoned parade
From founts faithfully replenished earth and heavens overflow
With His wonders undiminished in a world of want and woe

What a friend we have in He who does not weary of our prayers
Constant confidante for we who oft must suffer creature cares
He abides, steadfast and righteous, in spite of calamities
Oft His handiwork delights us, oft His promises appease

Earth and sky showcase creation’s masterpieces without pause
In the face of altercations Mercy does not cease its cause
But brings to the due of duties, nature’s gifts to thrill our gaze
Where each season brims with beauties to surprise us into praise

Psalm 65:8
The whole earth is filled with awe at your wonders; 
where morning dawns, 
where evening fades, 
you call forth songs of joy.
