Be thankful for the least gift, so shalt thou be meet to receive greater. ~Thomas A KempisOverlooked blossomsSmall and yellow Fallen asideFrom the showy clanI rescued youBrought you insideFound in youA small gift Salvaged lightLike lemony July sunshineYour center fine gold Rare fragile filigreePriceless

By faith we understand ... what is seen was not made of things that are visible. Hebrews 13:3Curls and swirlsPaint dripped from God's moving brushColor and light,Velvet curves of Sweet-scented softness,Red rose.

The good Lord gives us bright on bright to cheer our days.Red on redRed on greenChristmas colorsFeast for the birds,Feast for my eyes,Feast for the heart.
