Ducks and Eagles
 Way up in the sky
  Eagle soars all alone
 Far from the mud below
 Flying high in the blue
 He thinks it is true
 That he’s the best bird in the show
  
 While down at the farm
  Ducky waddles along
 With his tribe by the edge of the stream
 Leading them on
 To the cool water’s edge
 Where their dirty feet 
 Can be washed clean
 
 Now that I your Lord and Teacher have washed your feet, 
you should also wash one another’s feet            
John 13:14 NIV

 Late for Lunch
  
  I’ve no questions only answers
 Ducky said to Dad one day
 I’ll show you I’m the smartest one
 Why should I do what you say?
  
 Then Raccoon heard his boast and paused
  And slyly licked his paws
  He walked down to the water’s edge
  And stood to give applause
 
 When Ducky heard the sound he looked
 And saw Raccoon’s smiling eyes
 How wise this creature Ducky thought
 To see where greatness lies
  
 But sadly by next day at noon
 Ducky didn’t show for lunch
 Where he was off to no one knew
 But his father had a hunch!
  
  
 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: 
 But fools despise wisdom and instruction.
 Proverbs 1:7 KJV

Morning Quiet Time

/ pastorpete51 / 1 Comment

Having a morning walk is one of the things I enjoy the most since retirement. Those 20-30 minutes give me a time to listen and look to see in the ordinary of things around the neighborhood what Jesus has in store for today. Remember that just as he said not to worry about tomorrow because today’s trouble is enough it also follows that enough for the day is the good. This morning the good was seeing this gander out for his walk showing off his lady friends. He wasn’t busy wishing he was a taller bird like a crane, or a better fisherman like the pelican. He was just strutting his stuff completely satisfied with a duck’s life.

I have discovered that those moments at the beginning and end of my days are like bookends. Everything that God has prepared of good and allowed for problems will be kept in place if we begin and end with Him! Have a blessed Sabbath and a praise filled Sunday!
