Present Tense
A tiny seed asleep in the dark earth,
awakening to produce a lovely flower. . .
The buried root winding up through the cold ground,
sending out new shoots. . .
The bare tree lifting leafless branches
toward the gray-washed sky,
anticipating promise and fulfillment ... .
God breathes into the heart of all things:
Life has its time of being.
Though I may possess a winter heart,
Lord, give me that springtime growth
and renewal.

Prayer Requests:
The victim of the latest "sniper" shooting in
Ashland, Virginia-for his strength, to be able to stand all
the surgeries required, and for full recovery. Pray for his wife
and family, as they sit by, prayerfully.
Have a safe and blessed week, Family.
