ART & POETRY BY PAUL & KATHY BOECHER©

My posts are shorter this week because I have the pleasure of being with my great grandson while his mom serves an internship with developmentally challenged children. She is also working part time on weekends and taking online classes and has to fit in homework somewhere in there. She plans to graduate in December. This means getting up a little earlier each morning while it’s still a bit dark. This morning is filled with a dense fog advisory, so I found this watercolor from Paul to accompany my words.

Shades of grey, crimson and yellow dot the landscape with a magical mist,

Covering a multitude of sins,

I wonder if this is how we look to God?

Covered with a veil of repentance and grief over past sins,

Shrouded in a haze of uncertainty,

No!  God looks at us and sees only His Son and what He has accomplished,

We no longer carry the undistinguishable, the hidden, the burden,

It has all been washed away in the blood of the lamb,

No longer are we seeped in darkness, no longer in fear,

God has forgiven the world through His own Son, Jesus,

Let His love shine through us and bring that light to others.

THANK YOU JESUS FOR ANOTHER DAY!
