Still struggling to feel top-notch
but still, so much to delight in!
Thankfulness brings to simple things a wellspring of delight...
A few delights from yesterday and today.
Keepsake kindnesses ...
Bushes a-bloom with birdies
Just chillin' whilst snoozin' in the sunshine
Compromises...
I'm thankful that, in spite of strife this life runs rife with cheer
Love’s font consoles and fills want’s holes with goals beyond this world
It authors hope and helps us cope with words like ‘nope’ and ‘fear’
Love snuffs the noise of bluff's/stuff's decoys with joy’s glad hymns unfurled
Thankfulness brings to simple things a wellspring of delight
The pleasure of the treasure of the measure of God's grace
Always enough, no matter what, Love fits us for the fight
And turns our eyes toward a Prize beyond the whys we face
I’m thankful for the open door that each new morning metes
Where faith is wrought and trust is taught by what we cannot see
But surely know, come high or low, no want or woe defeats
The kindness of the Giver’s/Father’s love, enough eternally
How lovely Is the gift of This, His mercy new each morn
A fount that spills four-season-thrills as hills and hollows brim
With flawless laud to gracious God where awed hearts, weary-worn
Join nature’s throng in joyful song; all praise belongs to Him
This blunder-full, heave-ho, push-pull is wonder-full because
We recognize with each sunrise grace undisguised; it flows
In molten ink across earth’s brink in pink and gold applause
To cheer us on from dawn to dawn until open doors close

Oh give thanks to the LORD,
for He is good;
for His steadfast love endures forever!
Wonder-full, as usual, Janet! Loved the abundance of rhymes, and all the love.
ReplyDeleteI see you are saving those small green plastic containers too :) but using them for a much more fun and fulfilling purpose, though (mine are used for boring storage...at least for now, maybe someday they'll become a train!)
Feel top-notch soon!
Thank-you as always! today I feel a bit better than yesterday (most of the time) so, slowly but surely! I'm not sick enough to be sick and not better enough to be better!!! I love those green boxes! I put on my thinking cap yesterday morning for an activity/craft a bit 'out of the box' and came up with a train, no make that two trains ;-) they are great for storage too! one of the moms I do childcare for keeps socks and undie drawers tidy and organized with them! Yes, hang on to them cause you never know what the future holds<3 besides trains, mine have been towers, field-mouse house (for only a little bit, until, when I discovered two gals playing with a dopey mouse last summer. yikes!! I persuaded them to set it free/ slash dump it into the field) they have held pebbles, leaf and stick soup or salad when playing 'camping'. They are parcel carriers on tricycles and pansy carriers etc. Thank-you for your visit!
Deletep.s. I had fantastic fun with this rhyme-scheme<3
DeleteHope you continue to feel better - as usual a lovely poem!
ReplyDeleteHi Trish<3 and thankyou so much! I'm really hoping to feel better by the weekend because hubby and I have a dinner-date on Saturday night in your fair city! (belated Valentine's celebration) I hope you and yours are keeping healthy!
