Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

THE ROSE (poem)
It's only a tiny rosebud,
a flower of God's design
But I can't unfold the petals,
with these clumsy hands of mine.
The secret of unfolding flowers,
is not known to such as I
The flower God opens so sweetly
in my hands would fade and die.
If I cannot unfold a rosebud
this flower of God's design,
Then how can I think I have wisdom
to unfold this life of mine?
So I'll trust in Him for His leading
each moment of every day,
And I'll look to Him for His guidance
each step of the pilgrim way.
For the pathway that lies before me
my Heavenly Father knows
I'll trust Him to unfold the moments
just as He unfolds the rose🌷

Hi @Former-Member

Sounds won-der-ful ❣

I'm about to get up and go for a walk.  It's not raining here yet.  Still cold tho.  Will have to rug up.

What have you got planned for the day ?

Hi @Former-Member, and anyone else who is about ....... I posted this in the Beer Garden, but thought I would try to catch up with the coffee / tea / hot chocolate crowd as well ❤

I'm down at the river, and owing to the overcast skies, it is a beautiful dove blue-grey colour, and so calm, there's hardly a ripple. A flock of four pelicans just took off across the water, flying a metre above it in a formation, fishing with their eyes, I imagine. So beautiful !

No dolphins yet. With this calm water, I would know they were coming before they arrived ...... the ripples they send out go far ahead of them, spreading out to the shoreline on both sides of the river 😊 Gorgeous things that they are.

Hi Faith-and-hope,
Sounds wonderful walking the seaside river. Waiting for the dolphins. An pelicans are so graceful to watch flying. The sky you describe also sounds magical. Wish i was there, could do with a walking buddy. Did you see any dolphins? Thanks for sharing, been a bit copped up lately.

Hi @Former-Member
I would love to go walking with you !! At least we can have virtual walks, which are only now possible online in this technological age. It would once have been we would have had to be pen-pals, writing letters to share virtual walks .....

No dolphins this morning .... just the pelicans, but how magnificent they were ......

I went for a massage this afternoon. I don't know whether you have been following along with Night Shift at all, but I posted that my D3 is having melt-downs in the wake of the stress she has been carrying regarding school, family, etc, and she's a real tempest. My back was so full of knots, I could feel them spasming with the massage, but I know it is doing me good.

I know you're not great with Night Shift, but some of the newer members are branching out into other threads, and I have seen you popping up there too. You're sounding very positive, and I am glad to hear it 😊

What do you do when you're cooped up at home ? Any hobbies like knitting ? Music ? Fave TV shows ?

Thinking of you, and wishing you well.
❤
