Snow's back, temps lower,

nothing on the calendar -

       stay in, do taxes. 

Sunshine, rising temps,

Leftovers in sun oven -

          Lunch outside today!

 

67 degrees?! 

 

All Knowing God -

you see everything we’ve ever done

and still you welcome us to your side.

In your mercy and grace

you give us food when we are hungry

and water when we are thirsty.

And when we are lonely

you are there by our side. 

Open our hearts and minds

to worship you in Spirit and in Truth,

here and now and where and when ever

you might lead us. 

We pray in Jesus’ name.

Time to turn the clocks,

snowbanks shrink, gutter streams flow -

         spring is not here yet! 

Or 

Time to turn the clocks -

one hour more or one hour less -

         make a difference? 

Chick-a-dees flitting,

snow melting, grey clouds settling -

       waiting for the rain. 

Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish -

Ice crystals, waves, in the lake - 

      Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish. 

Bright golden sunrise

to pale pink and gray sunset -

        so flows my story.
