231004 A Good Day

A Good Day


My bills are piling to the sky

But, have what's needed to get by

So, today is a good day


All of this noise can drive me wild

Yet, noise is the lifeblood of each child

Thus, today is a good day


Responsibilities are huge

God gives me all his strength to use

See, today is a good day 


Am aching from my feet to head

But, I can still get out of bed

So, today is a good day 


My pantry shelves are kind of bare

There's tuna, pasta, soup in there

Yes, today is a good day 


Where can my reading glasses be

Yet, thank the Lord that I still see

See, it is a good day


Heater's not working anymore

Have blankets and sweaters galore

Thus, today is a good day 


The sink faucet has sprung a leak

Yet, don't haul water from a creek

So, today is a good day 


All of my friends have burdens, too

So, God has taught me what to do

Pray for their good day


The whole world is in need of peace

Yet, I can do my part at least

Make today a good day 


The kind of day you have's a choice

For, if you give complaining voice

Then, every day God's given you

Will feel like something to get through 


Each day is what you make of it

To view as curse or as God's gift

To see as good, each breaking dawn

Depends on what you focus on


So, look for good in every hour

Positive outlook holds great power

Each one's a blessing - see that way

You'll find that each becomes a good day


Psalm 118:24

This is the day that the LORD has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it.

240606 The Word You Use

 T he Words You Use Be careful 'bout the words you use For words can injure; words can bruise Be careful 'bout the things you say For hurtful words, one's soul can slay It's not just words you use, but tone For tone has meaning all its own And if you've raised a teenage child You know their tone's what drives you wild The words you use carry such weight To express love or start debate For kind words can be source of life But biting words breed only strife A loving word makes someone's day Like honey, are kind words you say Yet, angry words, spoken in haste Will only leave a bitter taste  Don't know 'bout you, but I feel bad If speak unkind because I'm mad And though I'm sorry in the end Know they can't be unheard again Repaired relations come with price Won't have to pay if just talked nice The damage is already done  Though the word battle you have won The Word says tongue's a two edged sword  And words once said can't be ign...

231110 How Did I Get Here?

How Did I Get Here? How did I get here? I don't know Seemed sometimes fast, other times slow Though, does not matter what the pace Still wonder how came to this place How did I reach this point in time? Reality of it's so sublime For most of journey was uphill Through hard fought land, yet, I'm here still How did I get from there to here? In baby steps year after year? Know sometimes how I reached this place Was through tremendous leaps of faith But, other times, through missteps went To places that I never meant Through valleys deep or forests dark Through turbulent waters full of shark Yet, oh, so many times I've found That when I stop to look around  The sun is shining on my face And I am in a lovely place A place with lush, green, rolling hills With irises and daffodils  A place of rest, peace, and beauty  Exactly where I want to be I've found as I trek on my way Sometimes have both in the same day Day can begin as walk in park Then suddenly turn very dark Or st...

241210 'Tis the Season

  'Tis the Season  'Tis the season to be jolly With mistletoe, pine boughs, and holly Yet, what if jolly's not your mood  But melancholy, you exude What if the carols in the air Remind you of someone not there Or crackling fire's bright light and heat Can't chase the cold of empty seat What if season's not full of thrills But full of lack and unpaid bills Though sugarplums fill your kid's head You know they'll get little instead  Perhaps in place of peace, good will You have a loved one very ill So thoughts don't turn to season's din But doctors visits, medicines While others have house full of guests All you have though is loneliness  The kids have grown and moved away So it's not the same holiday How blessed if season's joyous one But it is not for everyone  For most December brings good cheer For some, it's hardest time of year Whatever circumstance you claim The Christmas message's still the same That hope came through a baby...
