The things of yesterday
have passed away
Tomorrow here is not guaranteed
So just spend the moments that you have
Living gratefully

All Things New
As we reflect back
on everything from this year
It has been a rough one,
people all over have had stresses,
fears, and tears
Nonetheless,
there have been blessings too,
Look to our Maker,
who makes all things new
Cast your cares upon Him
He forever cares for you

Traveler
A traveler wandering wearily,
seeking a place to rest his head
Stopping @ a roadside inn,
the innkeeper said:
“Sorry my friend,
The inn hasn’t got a spare bed,
but if you’re willing to wait a minute
I’ll fix up my personal couch instead,
I don’t want you out in the cold tonight,
you could easily end up dead”
As the innkeeper
was about to depart
The traveler thanked him,
from the bottom of his heart

Truckers
They haul freight up & down the interstate
Doing their best not to be late
Working their tails off til the end of the line
Away from their family, for days at a time
To provide provisions for yours & mine
They don’t do it for glory, not a pat on the back
Though I would argue they deserve @ least that

Gratitude
I learned that this blog had it’s best day ever yesterday, and to those who made it happen, thank you from the depths of my soul. This blog has been so many things at so many times since it’s inception. Everything from an outlet for pain, a place to express my faith, to a place to just be creative, and beyond and I am grateful for it all.
Another Blessed Day
Let us walk, let us run,
work & play beneath the shining sun
Let us Love, let us pray,
and be thankful for another blessed day

Dear All
This is a special thanks to those who still grace this blog with your presence.
My steady readership is seemingly quite a bit fewer than when I started off, but I am grateful still nonetheless.
To The Common People
This is to the humble barbers, humble farmers,
average Joannas & Joes
who give their all, day in day out,
but who most will never know
You all deserve recognition,
whether people know you by name or not
Thank you for everything you do,
It really means a lot

Cafe Angel
Recently, my wife, son, and I
Were eating in a cafe
When we finished,
much to our surprise
We learned there was no bill to pay
Someone else had covered it,
Such a sweet blessing,
but I’m still not sure who our angel was that day
