Monthly Inspiration

Inspiration, Reflections, spring

Hello and welcome.

Here, in our part of Michigan, March came in like a lamb. The weather has been pleasant and spring like, so for our monthly inspiration I have selected some quotes about spring.

“Every spring is the only spring, a perpetual astonishment.”

~Ellis Peters

“In the spring, at the end of the day, you should smell like dirt.”

~Margaret Atwood

“Don’t wait for someone to bring you flowers. Plant your own garden and decorate your own soul.”

~Luther Burbank

“Spring is nature’s way of saying, ‘Let’s Party!’”

~Robin Williams

Thanks for visiting and Happy Spring!

Monthly Inspiration

Inspiration, Love, Reflections

Hello and welcome! February is known as the month of love. Valentines Day is just around the corner and my husband and I will be celebrating our wedding anniversary. Thus, our monthly inspiration is dedicated to love.

1 Corinthians 13:4-7

4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Happy New Year and Monthly Inspiration

Inspiration, Poetry, Reflections

Hello and Happy New Year! I hope you all had a nice holiday season. I did buy a new calendar but the calendar I selected for 2024 is just pretty rooster pictures. It looks nice in our kitchen, but there are no inspirational saying to draw from. I have decided to continue to do my monthly inspiration posts, but they will be a little different this year.

This month our inspiration is this poem I wrote – something that has been on my mind for the last week.

In The Spirit of Christmas

The holidays are over, another year through.

It’s common at this time to start feeling blue.

The tree is down now, and lights put away,

but the spirit of Christmas can be here to stay.

To keep it around is up to you,

but read on and I’ll tell you some things you can do.

Greet other people with a smile upon your face.

Comfort those who are hurting with a warm embrace.

Show appreciation along the way.

A simple compliment can make someone’s day.

Offer grace or forgiveness to those who offend.

When you’re wrong admit it and make amends.

Use your time and your talents to do a good deed.

Donate your excess to others in need.

It’s good will toward others that begets peace on earth.

There is no currency to measure it’s worth.

It lives within you, the spirit I speak of.

This Christmas Spirit is AKA love.

Wishing you all the best in 2024.

Inspiration, Reflections

Hello Everyone. It’s hard to believe that it’s December already but indeed we are in the homestretch of 2023.

From my 2023 wall calendar.

Our last inspirational verse this year “My Peace I give you.” John 14:27 is presented with a picture of many of the beautiful birds we have seen earlier this year.

I hope you have enjoyed this series. Now it’s time for me to shop for a new calendar.

Thanks for visiting.
