"I arrived to
greet my parents . . . two older brothers . . .
on a farm . . . before Doctor Sapp could arrive
in his horse drawn buggy . . ."
Little Hurts
Thank you, God, for little hurts
That prick my heart each day.
As long as I can feel their pain
I can hear my conscious say,
"The pain that hurts so much
my Dear, is very good for you.
It has a way of saying that
Your heart and mind are true.
The time for regret and sorrow is,
When no trails bring despair
No burden great with agony says,
'No conscious mind is there.'"

". . . Mamma
had me making biscuits before I could reach the counter top . . .
as I grew older I enjoyed feeding the chickens, gathering eggs, carrying in
wood, working in the fields, ironing and sewing; I especially
liked to embroider pretty aprons and scarfes . . "
A second
Decides My Fate
A second is such a little thing,
It passes so quickly.
Yet it decides my fate
for Heaven or Hell eternally.
Lord, help me to choose Heaven. Amen
