What Ornaments Are on Your Tree?

Inspiration

Hello! Just wanted to say that it is nearing that time. Have to scoot to get ready. Still have bread to put it  in the oven.

I did get the bread done, the beef roast and potatoes, the green beans and the corn, too. Made it to worship on time. After that we went to a neighboring congregation for worship with a visiting evangelist. We had a hallelujah celebratory good time in lifting our voices in song to the Lord!

Now, it is Sunday night and I am beat. But I wanted to finish my blog for today and post it.

Writing
Children's book soon to be published.

Poetry
-A New Ornament for the Tree                      
                             Mercy

             I am glad that I have not
        Been dealt with as I deserved
   I am glad that justice was tendered
With mercy and that is what I was served.

 Make no mistake; it still rankles when my
    Thoughts dwell on wrongs done to me
         But, I remember that I was given
                 A generous helping of
                             Mercy.

-Grammy Alma
