A task unfinished

I have a task and there’s a deadline
Don’t know what the deadline is—
Just that there is one.
Happy Birthday, Mom
Dec 24, 2021 by Leoma G Gilley
On this 24th day of December 2021, my precious mother, Frances Mable Christabel Tripp Gilley, would be 103. She left us 10 years ago, and it is hard to believe that much time has passed. I still miss her.
Advent 1

I have a Lover who waits for me;
Offers me love and blessings for free.
He promised any good gift, you see
If I accepted his ransom for me.
Forest Bathing

Forest Bathing
I grew up among water and trees

"Come sit with Me at water's edge."
"Maybe later" I always pledge.
But how can I stop? So much to do.
When is there time to follow through?

I used to think prayer was asking;
Now I know it is more receiving.
I'm telling stories, and you are invited to listen in.
