Between Becoming and Became

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

Convocation Ceremony
(proud parent-moment💗)
Congratulations, Victoria!

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.
