Love and Sunshine

Valentines Day was full of good things and good people at our house.  Derek left me a note that I love, and he had already given me flowers and boots!  The kids loved their books and Trisa liked her phone call and the card that got to her late.  Derek got a magazine, a note, and a song I wrote and performed for him and the family.  Maybe I'll share that on another occasion.

Flowers that were delivered with the words "It's okay if they die".
(or something similar).  I have a new Rosey though the other one hopefully survived the winter.



I have been writing a little more lately, and so here is a poem I wrote a few minutes ago.  Enjoy!

Standing in the Sun

How do I find some joy today?

How can I see morning lights first ray,

When it seems that the clouds are thick and deep?

Where is the peace I seek?

Where can I find a hope that's deep?

How when I feel so very weak?

Where do I go when the path's unclear?

How do I conquer fear?

I reach through the darkness to the light.

I step out boldly into the night.

I hold my head up in spite of pain.

And I find sunshine in the rain.

I see in my mind my Savior's face.

I feel in my heart His loving grace.

I reach out my hands to His wounded ones.

And then I am standing in the sun.
