As I journeyed this
Day, God showered bright daisies
Along my pathway.
Becky’s Haiku: Daisies along the Way

SIMPLY TRUST
Steadfast and sincere belief
In Almighty God and his Son Jesus.
Mindful and obedient to His true and holy word;
Personally accepting Jesus as Savior and Lord.
Living each day in joyfulness and not sorrow;
Yesterday’s tears washed away by hope for tomorrow.
Tenderness and kindness shown to everyone I see;
Remembering God’s never ending love shown to me.
Unwavering faith in the goal of reaching heaven.
Serving gladly and sharing about Him.
Teachable soul continuing to depend on Jesus
by praying and being led daily by his Holy Spirit.
THANKFUL HEART
Tender words of God soothing my soul;
Harmonious and sweet hymns soon follow.
Awake and stirring inside of me
Never ending source of lasting peace.
Kindest showers of blessings from Jesus;
Flowing and bubbling through the Holy Spirit.
Under the Lord’s loving and ever watchful eye
Lingering in the stillness with a contented sigh.
Hearing and cherishing the sweet words of him;
Ever mindful of God’s all-knowing wisdom.
After a long and struggling day,
Remembering Jesus is still leading the way.
Trusting and believing fully in him,
My heart is happy and thankful within.
Oh the Things My Fingers can do
Clapping hands to music and
Snapping my fingers to a catchy tune
Are just a few things that
My little fingers can do.
Dancing up and down a keyboard;
Playing a rhythmic song
Or typing on the computer
A new story or poem.
Holding a friend’s hand or
Helping someone in need.
Writing down my thoughts and
Not hurry; no need for speed.
While walking through a forest
And crossing a grassy meadow,
Smelling and caressing the
Soft and dewy wildflower petals.
Gripping the steering wheel and
Driving from place to place;
Journeying through this day while
Living inside of God’s sweet grace.
Then when the starry night arrives
And the glowing sun has gone down,
Folding my fingers in quiet prayer to
Thank the Lord for all he has done.
One Day, One Hour and One Step at a Time
Lord, sometimes I awake and don’t know
The road to take or what path to follow.
So, I’ll pause and pray in the eerie morning light
Asking you to help me just
to take one day, one, hour, one step at a time.
Sometimes there are hard decisions to make
And so I hold my breath and hesitate
As I contemplate what to do; what is right?
And so I’m asking you to help me Lord just
To take one day, one hour, and one step at a time.
And then as this long day is steadily passing
With a few hurdles appearing on the horizon,
I stop to strain and see the end in sight
Lord please keep on helping me just
To take one day, one hour, and one step at a time.
Lord, my work and my daily tasks are done
So now I am quietly journeying back home.
While I travel in the faint evening twilight,
Please guide the way and help me just
To take one day, one hour, and one step at a time.
Lord, now that I am silently lying in a shroud of darkness,
Your gentle presence keeps my mind at peace and rest.
And even as I sleep wrapped in the blanket of night
Lord, still gently help me to take just
One day, one hour, and one step at a time.
Becky’s Haiku: Bird and Red
Blackbirds flew above my
Head; I so wished to see red
Cardinals instead.
I have just attempted yet another haiku challenge from Ronovan Writes blog using the words “bird” and “red”. I am enjoying the challenge of trying to use such seemingly different and even opposite words in such a short poem. These prompts from Ronovan can really be a challenge to the mind.

Lord, Please Stay with Me
Lord, please stay with me today;
Show me the path and lead me the way.
Sweet dear Jesus I fear what might lay ahead;
And the weeping tears which I might shed.
But even so Lord, please still remain close to me
As I cling to hope though sadness I see.
I know you are here with me in the bright daylight
And you’ve awakened me with gentle sunlight.
You’ve placed before me an unknown road to follow;
Please give me courage so I don’t falter or stumble.
Though this day may be hard, please still be my trusted guide
And help me to walk in faithful confidence with my head held high.
Becky’s Haiku: Rise and Save
I rise to face a
New day and see a special
Blessing God had saved.

Becky’s Haiku: Can’t Give Up
Pressing on in faith
And hope; choosing to believe.
Can’t give up on my dreams.
Remaining GRATEFUL
Gladness enabling the heart to cheerfully sing.
Remembering God’s promises and many blessings.
Able to smile and wipe the tears away.
Thankful for the gift of another dawning day.
Eager yet quietly content to be
Faithfully believing in hope, heaven, and eternity.
Unhurried and not worried about trials of tomorrow.
Living each moment today and choosing to be joyful.
Becky G? Oh, That's Me!
