Regifting



Some of the most treasured gifts are simply shared moments
of love, respect, and communication about our passions and dreams.

Time for heartfelt conversations with loved ones is a precious gift.

I am so thankful for the privilege of traveling the road of discovery,
exploring new territories,  and witnessing the process of growth
with my family.

Knowing that our paths will continue to converge enables us to part
with joyful expectations and prayers of thankfulness.

Consistently returning and regifting love is exquisite.

With Christ,
everyday is Christmas.
Gifts and blessings are ready

Christmas Poem



MERRY CHRISTMAS

Come, let us celebrate Jesus!
The greatest gift,
treasure from our Father’s heart,
was given to us wrapped in cloth.
The bundle of love grew to fill the world
with revelation knowledge
of just how much we are loved!

Come Let us celebrate Jesus!

Witty



I love God’s humor!  He set me up so beautifully!

On the front edge of the farthest clearing 
are a couple of clumps that look like deer grazing.  
They have fooled me more than a few times. 

I was gazing into the distance and smiling at the whimsy 
of my imaginary deer when one of them moved.   
A small herd broke away from the tree line 
and started feasting further out into the field.

My Daddy likes to be playful with me.

Linger Longer



There are four little birds perched in the treetop’s thin, bare branches.
Three of them keep fluttering to a new spot.  They seem antsy.
One just sits and seems to be waiting for the sun to break through the clouds.

Now only one remains silhouetted against the brightening sky.

There is something so intriguing, yet calming,
about watching my feathered friends on wintry mornings.

I thank God for the gift of time to linger, settled in my comfy corner.
Today, I choose to notice and celebrate the beauty surrounding me.
