Do you ever contemplate
how soon comes the fall?

thick smoke on the hill
means the wildfires rage unseen
and so too in life
All men are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field. The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God stands forever.
Isaiah 40:6,8

tubes of tempera
God gives each of us colors
paint earth with flowers!
Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God’s grace in its various forms.
1 Peter 4:10

Oh, over-trimmed tree!
Are you going to hug me?
Nearly leafless love.

yellow butterfly
fluttering between phloxes
a delicate dance

The lane to the lake
leads to possibility.
The sky’s the limit!

Almost toothless tree
What tales can you tell to me?
Such resiliency!

some are elastic
others are made of plastic
will we stretch, or snap?
If you falter in a time of trouble, how small is your strength!
Psalm 24:10 (NIV)

As for hope, we find
much more reason to believe.
So we look for good.
”And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out His love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit.” Romans 5:5
