Timeless Treasure

Balancing out life's/love's bitter and brutal burdens and responsibilities,

are its sweet and simple joys, beyond number...

good books

good devotions

good friends

(a few lovely get-togethers on the weekend but no pics)

good food/cake

good family time

good work

good laughs (to balance SO many tears)

good conversation 

(again, no pic)

nature's timeless beauty

good coffee (or tea)

Good gifts...

...and SO much more!

The thrill of reading good poetry, a warm handshake, friends made through social media

who share our joys and sorrows, good music, good exercise, good goals, good fellowship,

good Sunday morning messages, phone calls, cards, texts with words of encouragement to each other...

Timeless treasure

Moment measure

Brimming, skimming, glim and glance

Planting reaping

Limping,, leaping

Stumble-humble song and dance

Timeless treasure

Pain and pleasure

Intermingling, breath by breath

Minute blossom

Brute and awesome

Syncopating life and death 

Timeless treasure

Toil and leisure

Swept into streams running rife

Weeping, wooing

Stunning, strewing

Turning moments into life 

Moment meter

Bitter-sweeter

Love and longing interweave

Timeless treasure

Lifetime measure

Only moments can achieve

Janet Martin

Eph.5:15-18

Pay careful attention, then, to how you walk, not as unwise but as wise,

 16redeeming the time, because the days are evil. 

17Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is. 

18Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to reckless indiscretion. 

Instead, be filled with the Spirit.

1 Cor.10:31

Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, 

do all to the glory of God.
