Easter 2020

It is that glorious time of year
When the world awakens once again,
We see the flowers bloom
Hear the music of the wren

The grass greens up luxurious
The sun shines on our face
We look around with wonder
The world's a lovely place

And yet this year there's something
Different in the air
The Covid epidemic
Tries to give us all a scare

Our lives have been altered
Not as they used to be
We find ourselves confined
In what we do and who we see

We deal with the unknown
Hear of sorrow and of fear
Yet we know that our redeemer
Is as always, oh so near!

He knows all things and loves us
He is ever on His throne
His mercy is unending...
We need to make His Gospel known!


He came to Earth to save us
He died on Calvary's tree
He arose again in glory!
And intercedes for you and me

May we lift to our Father
The prayers for those in need
So many who are hurting,
May we yield as He does lead

May we count our many blessings
May we look to Him and pray
He is our glorious Savior
May we praise Him every day

And at this Easter time
May we feel His mighty love
May we bask in all He's given us
Such blessings from above

He gives us peace on earth
True Joy within our hearts
Has a glorious eternal home prepared
For our soul when it departs

May we pray that all will know Him
May we reach out to those we love
May we share with them the comfort
That He gives from Heaven above

And so now we take this time
To let you know dear one
How much you mean to us....
But even more to God's dear son.
HE IS RISEN!! ALLELUIA!

The Gift of Art and Creative Contributions

I am marveling at                                                                                                           the Gift of Art and Creative Contributions! Wow. What a lovely day. My legs are tired, but my heart if full. Hubby and I biked another portion of the Hennepin Trail today. Beautiful and historic! So of course, our love affair with God's beautiful creation was stoked. But surprisingly, so was my appreciation for Art. We enjoyed biking past one lock after another, those old engineering marvels from the early days of the 20th century. The trail we biked along was a link to days gone by. For it was the same old pathway utilized by mules as they hauled the barges laden with grain and supplies along the canal joining the Mississippi and Illinois rivers. How I appreciated the old steel rusty structures, the bridges and the locks, with their levers, gears, arches and spokes. They spoke to me of the past. As did the old path itself.   There were relatively few people o

What I Saw Today

 I am musing...                                                                                                            ~11/2020 about what I saw today I stepped into the med room this morning. It is a little room off of the west side nurse's station.  It was quiet back there. And what I saw made my heart sing with a sense of grateful comfort. There on the counter, someone had left an open Bible. It was sitting there, a testimony that someone had likely taken a moment to grab a deep breath  and glean some divine words of encouragement. It was still open, inviting others to also partake from the comfort of it's living pages. Like for so many, this has been a really tough season for all of us. Nurses, aides, administration, housekeeping, dietary, activities....we all have found ourselves caught up in a reality we did not realize we had signed up for. The extra logistics, anxieties, regulations. uncertainties, fogged up glasses, claustrophobic masks, staffing challenges, reside

God Stories. What's yours?

    I am marveling at God stories. What's yours?? Our daughter has a good friend. Her name is Stephanie. She is creative, talented, bubbly, sensitive and loves Jesus! And she wrote a book. For kids. About God. Called Always Remember . It is different then most kid's books. It has a poetic lilt which is beautiful, but atypical in its cadence. It's wording is unique; yet lovely. It is simple and it is deep.  It's premise is pivotal, declaring Truth! It is almost layered in that each reading of this basically simple book helps peel back another level of understanding and appreciation. It is a book that is actually instructional. It should be read often as a way to reflect and then to live. The main theme is teaching kids (and adults alike) to... Stop. Ponder. Remember God. To see Him every day in everything. To align daily with who He is. It is beautifully illustrated, with large colorful pictures that engage, teach, enlighten and intrigue. She shared how the book was firs
