Beauty Day 12

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 12 Apples on a Wet Day

Unkempt Abundance

Joy and Decadence mixed

Life just beginning

Falling again

Visual Splendor

Hurrying by

Shuttered—

Silly Raindrop

Caught by Sky

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.

The adults sang along with them

happier than they have ever sung.

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 6 Anticipation

Looking forward to seeing

this beautiful ballet

with a friend

brings excitement, hope, and joy to my day.

So it is for Christians who look forward

to meeting Christ face to face.

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!

Poem for a Nearly Spring Day

I see the sky

I climb

I riseChesebro_Almost Spring

The hills are green

I tire

I fall

I sleep and rise again

Turning

Stumbling

Rising

Falling

Rising

Lost

Undone

Confused

Never abandoned

For at each turn

Each bend

I find a friend

Always the same

The same friend

Who knows my name

Who watches over me

Waiting, singing, for me

To greet me finally

To welcome me…

…my dear friend.
