The sweet bliss my mind daily feels
The way my heart is made to sway
The times my face is made to smile
Each moment takes my breath away

The many minutes we spend together

Strengthens the love within my heart
Bringing many delightful times to stay

Please cradle me softly in Your hands
Take the deep pain in my bones away
Remind me no matter what happens in life
I will share Your tender embrace always

Lord, to me You are my eternal treasure
Whose hands have lovingly created me
Fashioning me in Your spirits image
So when I pray each day Your love I see.

     I know my past six years of book writing is a drop in the bucket compared to some journeys, and I’m glad I got to learn so…

I’m posting this from the mountains of North Carolina just after midnight. Yesterday was cold and misty, so my friend and I stayed in most of the day and enjoyed a fire. Right now, the temperature is in the upper 20s and a little snow has fallen. Since I’m on vacation and will be seeing my grand daughter this weekend, I’m trying to rest up as much as I can. So instead of a regular post, I’m sharing my October Newsletter below.

Will check back in later. 🙂
