Love

How much love can

our hearts  hold?
Overflow.

How much love can we

give away?
No  limit.

The gift of love freely

given has no cost or 

fee; Only our  time, 

sacrifice, and fond

remembrance

A Great Horned Owl, & Eagles

Early this morn
while still in
bed, before the light
of day, i heard
the mellow hoot of
a Great Horned
Owl ,
which brought to
mind migrating Eagles
i saw Sunday noon
at Higgins Bay
Magnificent, mighty,
purposeful,  they swiftly
soared through trees
to perch on the highest
ragged limb, far
from anyone's reach
Still and silent they
watched, and patiently
waited for just
the right time
to fish the lake

Tis the Season

What a wonderful season
Advent, the four weeks
 prior to Christmas
to help ready our
hearts in prayerful
meditation for the
birth of  the Wonder
Counselor, the Prince
of Peace, the  tiny
babe born in
Bethlehem,  son of Mary,
Christ the King

.......................

The tree is trimmed
and stockings hung,
presents are wrapped;
A wreath on the door
The sweet smell of
pumpkin bread and
cookies baking fill
 the kitchen  while
songs of Christmas are
heard throughout the house;
Frosty the Snowman,
Carol of the Bells, Silent 
Night and  It's the Most
Wonderful Time of the Year
