Little Bits
small puzzle pieces
form a beautiful picture
microscopic cells
make a universe
little bits and little bits
form a grand design
seconds to minutes
minutes to hours to days
days to weeks to months
months add up to years
years multiply to decades
moments shape a life
Jesus died on cross of timber
Naked, bleeding, beaten, bullied
Satan thought he was the winner
But his name was soundly sullied
A Bear at the Nature Center
My bestie saw a bear today,
Not far from where the children play.
It worries me more than a bit,
But not so much to have a fit.
The nature center’s where we learn.
Tween hikes and crafts we take a turn,
And in oak forts they like to play.
My bestie saw a bear today.
They run about without a care,
And they don’t think about a bear.
But teachers do and often pray,
Not far from where the children play.
I count on God to keep us safe,
To tell those bears to go away.
We can’t just go inside and sit.
It worries me more than a bit.
I pray to God and stay alert,
And do my job so none get hurt.
I do fear bears, I must admit,
But not so much to have a fit.
In Him We Live
In the name of the Holy, we live,
And we move and have being, praise Him!
He is worthy, though days may be grim.
And because He forgives we forgive.
So we offer ourselves, and we give
Him our all for He gave us His all.
Yes, on Jesus our Hope, we will call.
His amazing grace we won’t outlive.
And so what does that mean in our day?
In the practical, common routines?
In the matters we think do and say,
From the dawn to the dusk and betweens?
Yes, we walk with our Friend and we pray,
And have faith and entrust all our dreams.
Fall Fun
Crunching through crisp leaves
Painted hills hug the valley
Fragrant earthy smells
Raking leaves in to a pile
Kids running and jumping in
Laughing. Let’s do it again!
Good Morning, Lord
Good morning, Lord, I love You so.
You love me, too, that’s good to know.
I worship You, set me aglow.
Draw near throughout the day.
Right here at home and as I go,
For fellowship with You, I pray.
