I call it a dusting though one of the bird bath saucers I had turned upside down has about an inch “cap” on it.
It does show on the ground cover off the patio, too.
It’s 25 degrees so it will last the night.
;o).

A Thought For The Old Year
Happy New Year! They all want to say,
With little regard for whats slipping away,
A year of fond hopes and bright dreams is now gone,
And we only have thoughts of the new ones to dawn.
Take just a moment to think of the past,
The days now gone by that made memories last.
We had all the birthdays. We ate all the cake.
We had great good times and now, goodness sake,
They want to forget it with hardly a nod,
A whole year forgotten. I think that its odd.
One day, in our dotage, well all reminisce,
On those Good Old Days were so willing to miss.
A thought for the old year seems timely tonight,
Its lengthening shadow drifts slowly from sight.
The old year departs with a staggering tread,
As we watch a new year toddle in, in its stead.
It will sleep with the others in a long endless pile,
But Id like to point out that it went out with style.
There isnt a doubt that its one for the books,
But its clearly not one wed have chosen for looks.

Happy New Year!
.
One Day
One day, well all be happy,
One day, well be content,
One day, well be aware of,
Exactly what God meant.
He told us we should love ourselves,
Just as we love our brother,
A purpose for lifes bounty,
To share with one another.
One day we may accept that,
Begin to understand,
One day to spread the love of God,
In peace throughout the land.
One day to find contentment,
A day to feel so blessed,
Well choose to be His servant,
And also be His guest.

Beginning Again
January 1, 2018
Everyone whose heart God had movedprepared to go up and build the house of the Lord in Jerusalem.
Ezra 1:5
After Christmas festivities conclude at the end of December, my thoughts often turn to the coming year. While my children are out of school and our daily rhythms are slow, I reflect on where the last year has brought me and where I hope the next will take me. Those reflections sometimes come with pain and regret over the mistakes Ive made. Yet the prospect of starting a new year fills me with hope and expectancy. I feel I have the opportunity to begin again with a fresh start, no matter what the last year held.
My anticipation of a fresh start pales in comparison to the sense of hope the Israelites must have felt when Cyrus, the king of Persia, released them to return to their homeland in Judah after seventy long years of captivity in Babylon. The previous king, Nebuchadnezzar, had deported the Israelites from their homeland. But the Lord prompted Cyrus to send the captives home to Jerusalem to rebuild Gods temple (Ezra 1:23). Cyrus also returned to them treasures that had been taken from the temple. Their lives as Gods chosen people, in the land God had appointed to them, began afresh after a long season of hardship in Babylon as a consequence for their sin.
No matter what lies in our past, when we confess our sin, God forgives us and gives us a fresh start. What great cause for hope!
Gods grace offers us fresh starts.
