To Keep Want's Wish-list Undeterred

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

Bore atonement’s price tag for me

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...
