Beauty Day 10
Find one beautiful thing every day and take a photo of it.
Philippians 4:8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.
Day 10 Wreath
I bought
a plain looking wreath
fresh cut, alive
I decorated it by hand
and hung it on my front door
It says W-E-L-C-O-M-E
Please come into my heart
and into my home

Day 8 Children’s Faith
The children led
the worship singing
this morning at church.

I was happy
to see all these adults
so happy.

Day 7 Pink
My granddaughter says
her favorite color is pink.
She’s three.
She loves to wear her brilliant pink tutus
jump on the bed, make forts, and tumble off the couch.
She’s never heard that “pink” for girls
is not pc.

Day 5 My Special Friend
We’ve both been sick with flu and cold going on two weeks.
Today came our regular Thursday breakfast out—Yay!!
This means McDonald’s.
But I like Monster Biscuits.
We agree the seats are hard at this other place
and the ambience cold.
So we planned our tactic the night before.
He would bring a brown bag and the coupons.
We’d hit the local competitor, then over to McDonald’s.
Once there he sat down with the brown bag
the padded seats and the brighter ambience
while I ordered the senior coffee.
We pulled this off! What a guy!
