This may look like a common to-do list,
but there is an underlying wish-list/prayer
that, in all I (we) do,
to be a (broken, mended, scarred and chipped)
vessel God's love pours through...
Dear Lord,
Not one step do I want to dare
To take outside Thy tender care
Nor do I want to boast, save in
Thy Son, who broke the curse of sin
Let me not treasure any Thing
Above my Savior's suffering
Who, on the cross of Calvary
Let me pursue no fonder goal
Than the dwelling place of my soul
And let me crave nothing above
A heart, through which You pour Your love
...to kindle delight in Your Word
To keep Want’s wish-list undeterred
Desiring that in all I do
Your Light of 'Christ in me', shines through
That, 'thanks to God who always leads'
Your faithful triumph intercedes
For I am nothing on my own
Then, let me live for You alone
Amen

Let your light so shine before men,
that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.
Matt.5:16
Outdoor chores are taking priority these day!
Yesterday I pulled the sunflowers, prepping the garden for the neighbor to haul fertilizer,
aka manure 😉on it whenever he is ready!
But, not wanting to discard of this beautiful, bountiful buffet for the birds
the fence offers a perfect prop for non-stop feeding and
viewing pleasure!
Sometimes my husband calls to see what I am working on..
He wondered, this morning, where today's poem-inspiration came from.
Partly from this devotion in my Utmost for His Highest...
