Do Not Be Surprised

We should not be surprised,     

at the choices people make. 

Taking our eyes off the Lord,

leads to many mistakes.

The disciples were with Jesus,

three years and still, 

they had difficulty,

following his will.

                                                                Who are we to think, 

 we can do life on our own,

forgetting about the seeds,

that have already been sown.

Let us not be perplexed,

at what other people do,

but making sure,

it is God's Word,

                                                                we are holding true.

Spring is Here!

Daffodils are popping up,

 all over the place.

Seeing them brings,

 a smile to my face.

                                There is also a robin,                                   flying all about.

Spring is really here,

there is no doubt.

What other signs of the season,

 will I see today?

No matter what,

I’ll say hip, hip, hooray!
