Simple Sweet Blessings

Hearing the song
That the Mockingbird sings
And seeing the colors
As the Bluebird takes wing
And catching the fragrance
That the Hummingbirds seek
In the flowers that grow
By the side of the creek
And all of those moments
That are finest of fine
Are the sweet simple blessings
That Our Good Lord designed

Consider the Ant

Go to the ant O sluggard and consider her ways and be wise. Proverbs 6:6 ESV 

Take a look at the ant
Jesus said to me
But it was tough when
He wouldn’t sit still
He was working with all his might to build
His tiny but growing ant hill

And it was hard to pick out just one because
They ran together
All through the day
And each helped his brother Without making a fuss
Or insisting on having his way

One by one they piled
Those grains of sand
And worked with such passion and glee
As they showed off the beauty of God's design
To us when we look to see!

Flying Lessons

The hummingbird was sleeping in
When mother shook his wing
Wake up John it’s time for class
I heard the school bell ring!

He opened first one tiny eye
Then peeked out of the nest
He knew the day for flying lessons
What was his mom planned next

So out the door with trembling heart
John’s wings began to beat
Then up into the wind He flew
To lessons down the street!

But this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Philippians 3:13-14 KJV
