In January, with slight sadness,The last tasty mandarin from our little treeis plucked.
When I read what it saysI see what it doesn’t say.

Because God is

Because God is unchanging LoveI am free to listen for His voice from aboveI am pure and perfect in His eyesI reflect truth, there are no lies

Aspiration

Wings,       pin feathers at first, and fluffy down,    then sturdy flight feathers         for lift off,       for soaring,         for spiraling                  up-upward;Moment by moment prayer—a listening,       catching the updraft,           circling from one good deed               to the next,       being borne on gratitude          and trust—                        those sturdy pinions.

God, I love You

God, I love YouYou’re always here.

Expectancy and comfort

The frost nipped the bud,But other buds promise

Finding Love

Make me wise in my givingAnd humble in receivingEverything that’s true.

The flower and the sun

There once was a lonely flower.
Awakened by the dawn of hope,expectationreceives the babeof Christian healing.

Way to go!

I do not see the way to go,But You, O God, will let me knowAt the right time, in the right way,Whatever I must do or say.
