"Therefore we do not lose heart.
Though outwardly we are wasting away,

yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day.

For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us

an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.

So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen.

For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal."

~2 Corinthians 4:16-18

Swirling Leaves and Covered Ground

Swirling leaves upon the breeze…
The air can’t decide to be hot or cold.
It blows balmy and crisp, like
Summer and winter caught in the fold.

Colors casting but never lasting,
Heaping hues upon the landscapes.
Trees bursting in bronze, brass, and copper,
Leaving pewter branches as foliage escapes.

Flocks of birds in groups and herds
Lining phone wires in their pause for rest,
Then filling the sky, lifting high,
Dark, darting, dots on a southern quest.

Upon my knees, this moment I seize,
To thank the Lord for all He’s given,
For my loved ones dear, both far and near,
And the wondrous world we live in.

In Everything that grows, or dies... I see YOU

Thank you Father, for all the earth,
I thank you for creation's birth.
I thank you for the flowers growing,
Naively living in their knowing,
'Twas for your pleasure all were made,
When we shall rise up from the grave,
When we shall have a life complete,
When face to face we all shall meet,

~Janice Hingley

 Jesus: "I am telling you the truth: a grain of wheat remains no more
than a single grain unless it is dropped into the ground and dies.
If it does die, then it produces many grains."
