living

This day all His mercies are new
This day every promise is true
Father, help me to believe
Give me faith I need to know You
And trust You this day
This day


These words are not mine, but they have carried me
I have had to pray this prayer over and over
And when I feel better, I pray it again

free

We are each of us angels with one wing...
       and we can only fly embracing each other.

carpet


spring is for new things
we got new carpet yesterday
we are looking for a new car
there are new things growing in the backyard
i feel like i am still new to my job

there is something exciting about new things
there is something comforting about old things

child

Gradually, though, you will begin feeling more connected and become more fully who you are - 

a child of God.
There lies the freedom.

addicted

look closely...
isn't it amazing?
there is so much detail.
the colours,
the petals,
the curls,
the movement...
this gerber daisy sits in a vase on my living room table.
it was given in love

free will

as I walked home in the rain
I looked down and there was a piece of paper on the sidewalk...
in the shape of a heart

lemon currant roll


she was about 70
she shuffled as she walked
wearing red plaid slippers
walking her wiener dog
her hat was askew
her glasses covered a 1/3rd of her face
she was smiling
