WATCH OUT WORLD!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JACK! JUNE 14, 2023


No longer "baby Jack" though diapers are sometimes necessary.
I pray from Proverbs 14 for him, asking the Lord to shield the "buts" of that chapter from Jack's life. May he grow to know,

Whoever fears the LORD has a a secure fortress, 
and for their children it will be a refuge. (Proverbs 14:26)

Jack is 5!
Watch out world....this little guy wanted a chocolate birthday cake with monster trucks and venomous snakes!
Jack is ready to make his mark!
              He's already made a big one in my heart!

VIEW FROM A PORCH SWING

Today is Wednesday. Wordsmith Wednesday.
Words fail me. Words escape me.
Others' words are necessary.
 
In quietness and trust is my strength. (Isaiah 30:15)

Cool breeze. Tinkling of chimes,
Seeking that calm posture of prayer while sitting on a porch swing. 
A time of quiet repose. Letting go of fears.
Words from an old hymn come to mind.

For the beauty of the earth, For the beauty of the skies,
For the love which from our birth Over and around us lies,
Lord of all to Thee we (I) raise 
This our (my) hymn of grateful praise.

Enough said...thought and hummed, 
Just stillness from a porch swing.
