Between Becoming and Became

It's been a whirlwind of special occasions and celebrations recently!

Birthday Picnic with Grand-kiddos

to celebrate their mom's/our daughter's birthday

Missing all the fun is school-age brother!

He is counting the days to the end of June😂

Hello, new today! I sure wonder what wonders you will spill!

The earth is singing its heart out after a much needed rain!!

releasing/reviving petal-pleasure!

Gold melts away deep shadow-gray; today bursts into bloom...

Wow! a busy-dizzy morning has turned

what began as an early morning post into noon-post!!😅😘

Gold melts away deep shadow-gray; today bursts into bloom

A flower held while being felled; flickers of blush and blue

Soon to become part of a sum no finesse can exhume

As we collect what only retrospect has access to

…where how we love will always prove the measure of the heart

Where how we live will always give ‘reap what we sowed’ return

While what yet waits pushes at gates that only God can part

While we proceed where want and need will always feed and yearn

Hello, today! I hope, nay, pray as you slip out of reach

That, as you test our humble best with what yet waits to be

As Goodness grants a whole new chance to learn what you will teach

I pray that you will turn into a lovely memory

A flower felled while being held unravels rose and thorn

A rush of green tucked in between Becoming and Became

A twinkle in time’s eye, a sigh of summer-leaf soon borne

From overhead to gently wed with footfalls none can tame

1 Corinthians 10:31
So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, 

do it all to the glory of God.

Ephesians 5:20
always giving thanks to God the Father for everything

 in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
