Woulda – Coulda – Shoulda

Woulda, Coulda, Shoulda were
All childhood bosom friends
And they live near each other
Where the Worry River bends

Though God still loves them dearly
He hopes for them to hear
His voice that calls them to launch out
By faith and not to fear

But instead, they sit at home
And say “Oh, not today.
This is really not the time
Tomorrow, we'll obey!”

Behold, now is the favorable time; behold, now is the day of salvation.
2 Corinthians 6:2b ESV

Children’s Book

All Creatures Mostly Small is a collection of thirty-two children’s poems, each paired with a Bible verse and a simple lesson for young readers. Side by side with the poems and lessons are 85 pages filled with colorful illustrations and photos that kids will love. In between the two sections of the book is included a list of fun projects for the family, including a trip to the zoo, building a birdhouse or going to the nature center. The cover photograph is of our wonderful grandson Wyatt, for whom these lessons were originally written, and our prayer is that you will enjoy discovering that somewhere between the funny rhymes and challenging projects, that better reading and a closer walk with Jesus might just happen along the way!

All Creatures Mostly Small is available on Amazon in either print or digital form. For the print version you can follow this link.

The Pigeons Were Still Snoozing

The pigeons were still snoozing
While the hawk dozed on his perch
And bluebirds were just waking
When woodpecker went to work!

And his tapping is reminding me
I have a job to do
So just sitting round and wishing
Is not what God has planned to do 

For even though He gives me songs
And resting is just fine
He has much more for us in store
For us in Summertime

In the garden we have seeds to plant
With rows to weed and tend
And water with our tears and prayers
Till He brings His harvest in!

Those who sow in tears
    shall reap with shouts of joy!
Psalms 126:5 ESV
