The Onus of a (Permanent Ink) Fount

The Best Laid Plan of me and you

can always only guess at the details

Thus, each of us should entrust Today into

The Divine Hand that leads with love that never fails

Below a few framed prints of yesterday...

Thanks to a huge fresh basil plant from our local grocery store

pizza was on the menu for yesterday's lunch!

Garden-fresh onions added some extra delish as well! (on one side😅)

...and later, peanut butter cookies!

This morning as I peer into its ethereal frame I see hopes of

a happy wedding day for my oldest sister's only daughter

💓🙏💖🙏💗🙏💝🙏

Each day lowers a frame to fill

The picture it will hold

Is always an Original

Spilled as moments unfold

From Goodness and Mercy, with love

Dawn’s fresh frame challenges

As we ponder time's palette of

Heartache and happiness

Colors of choice and circumstance

Mingle upon the tray

Where soon the frame that morning grants

Nightfall will draw way

The handiwork of Day Gone By

Sets in permanent ink

Before its paint is barely dry

Dusk claims More Than We Think

How swift the gifted frame bears Fact

As prayer, care, work and play

Fills galleries of Looking Back

That steal our breath away

Because what seems so commonplace

As day to day runs rife

Collects frames of grace-upon-grace

Into One Little Life

…where Far More than We Think becomes

The Onus of a Fount

That flows into The Sacred Sums

For which we give account

This morning as we peer into

A brand-new, empty frame

Pray, that at dusk the art we view

Honors the Giver’s Name

For oh, how very terrible

Would be a lifetime spent

Missing The Very Miracle

For which each frame was lent

…Love

Let's pray for the glorious miracle of love (like Jesus exemplified)

to fill today's frame with a masterpiece!

1 John 3:16-18

16 This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us.

 And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters. 

17 If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need 

but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person? 

18 Dear children, let us not love with words or speech 

but with actions and in truth.
