A Pause
March 11, 2022 I’m grateful for a place that’s warm,A place to shelter from the storm.Some days I’m better off inside,A time to rest and just abide. So many years I had to rush.I savor silent, quiet hush.No looming deadline … Continue reading

Quiet Mornings

I Follow
February 21, 2022 When life’s a mess, things go awry,When I can’t find the reasons why,I realize God’s in control.Whate’er He chooses will unfold. I yield to Him, His master plan.My life He holds within His hand.He needs no one … Continue reading
