Little Hands
(Recently a wonderful young woman shared this poem with me. Her drawing touched my heart. I would like to share her words and art with you today.) Little hands and little feet God’s creation simple ‘n sweet. Beautiful children under His care Specifically created – every last hair Harm should…

Everlasting Light
Help me to see YOUR Light today, The Light You shine upon my way. Help me to look just at my feet for here – today – you meet my need. Your Light’s sufficient – leads me on. No other Light will last as long. For man-made light goes out…

Impressions
This morning, some parts of the paths were still ice-covered. As I was walking, I noticed how many leaves had left impressions in the hardened snow and ice. Gentle impressions and their impact might not be noticed immediately. However, over time, what they touch changes. In what might seem hard…

In the Balance of Light and Dark
Sometimes circumstances come together perfectly. This morning they did for me. The full moon was setting close to the same time the sun was coming up. I grabbed the tripod and headed out into the frigid dawn. After capturing the moon set behind a treeline outside of my house, I…
