FACEBOOK Poems - part 4

Morning, Friday, July 20, 2012.

Yesterday when the mail carrier came,

I was sitting on my porch.

She hollered at me: "Are you yarning?"

I laughed and said, "Yes, of course!"

I'd never thought of it as "yarning".

I crochet and sometimes I knit.

In my mind, I sometimes "spin a yarn".

I think, and do more than just sit.

In my quiet time, while on my porch swing,

God's Word's often on my mind –

And with each stitch, I count my blessings.

How do you spend your quiet time?

(I wrote that in maybe 10 minutes about 4:30 the previous day. Yes, I was on my porch swing, crocheting - and alternately reading a ladies' Bible class lesson book. Sometimes my hands and fingers get tired from the "yarning" and I have to give them a rest. A lot of yarn I buy does come by USPS so the carrier has been onto my porch when I've been making things.)

8:30 a.m. Saturday. July 21.

It's Saturday. I'm "checking in" –

Heading for my porch with crochet hooks and pen.

7:45 a.m.Sunday. July 22.

This is the Lord's Day. I'll soon be on my way

To worship and to pray. I'll try to never stray.

7:45 a.m.Monday. July 23.

I do not care so much for looks. I know that I'm not pretty.

I'd rather one like me 'cause they think I'm interesting, kind, and witty.

9:05 a.m.Tuesday. July 24.

Two meetings today and both include food – I guess that'll be all right.

Morning Bible class and lunch - American Council of the Blind tonight

10:10 a.m. Wednesday, July 25.

A friend came for a short visit, so I've been up for awhile -

My day started with good conversation, with love and laughter and smiles!

(Pat came over earlier. She's the long-time friend I recently reconnected with ... comes over once a week or so and takes me to the store, and we go for lunch. Usually it's close to 4 hours; today she was here only about 30 minutes.)

8:45 a.m. Thursday, July 26.

I'm blessed today with cooling fans,

A quiet home and working hands.
