Venezuelans dancing in street

Maduro jailed and soundly beat

Dems who don’t like Trump raise ruckus

Venezuelans, “You should ask us.”

Chant

 Look What the Lord Has Done

 

Look what the Lord has done

Created the universe and people

 

Look what the Lord has done

Raised up the Savior to rescue sinners

 

Look what the Lord has done

Teaching

Healing

Loving

Sacrificing Himself for us all

 

Look what the Lord has done

Loved and cared for His people

 

Look what the Lord has done

Invited us into His family

The Church

 

Look what the Lord has done

Prepared a place

Gave us hope

 

Look what the Lord has done

Gave us joy and strength

Forgiveness

 

Look what the Lord has done

Gave us work to do

A reason for being

Purpose

 

Look what the Lord has done

 

Happy

 

Angels do a happy dance

When someone receives the Lord

And so do I

Happy

 

Losing Christmas pounds

I do a happy dance

Dance till I lose more

Happy

 

Happy-g0-lucky

Yielded to the Lord’s care

No fear of future

Happy blank, Poetic Asides, Chanso

Happy Place

 

When hiking through the woods with friends

Admiring pines, cliffs, and blue sky

And watching elk run through the field

Fresh air to breath, a mountain high

 

My travels whether near or far

Boat rides, jet planes, fast trains, ebikes

Exploring castles and old towns

Cliffs, oceans, deserts, forest hikes

 

When happy children get along

And give me pictures that they made

When puppies and cute kittens play

Relaxing with friends in the shade

 

A difficult project completes

“We’d like to publish this,” email

Painting, writing, dancing on porch

Good conversation, lots to tell

 

An extra pound or two is lost

A healthy, satisfying meal

Hot tea with cream and sugar cubes

Nice clothes that fit with a good feel

 

When singing hymns, making up tunes

A movie with some fine romance

Worship at church and hubby’s hugs

A cheerful song with which to dance

 

Understanding, encouragement

And people with a humor bent

 

Morning Prayer

 Changing Focus

 

In the stillness of the morning

Thoughts whirl about

Some confused, regretful,

Fearful, disappointed, abrasive.

So I turn to You, Lord.

Come in and bring your peace

Give me clarity

Gratefulness

Boldness

Positivity

And kindness.

 

I love You and am called to Your purpose.

Thank You for working everything out

for my good.

 

In the stillness of the morning,

I look to You,

not my own shortcomings,

but to You who are loving, forgiving,

powerful, pure and holy.

Lord, help me think and be more like Jesus.
