Love is a coin with his side & her side.
While it is spinning (warm with love) both sides are “up”
and you can’t tell one from then other.
When it stops/lands either his side or her side is seen.
It needs to spin again.

P Putting ideas and/or ideals
O Onto paper (or perhaps birch bark),
E Enjoying image that each yields,
T Teasingly visual, light from the dark,
R Reading it afterward with some joy,
Y Yet knowing that it’s no mere toy.

When my eyes behold the stars
This heart of mine is filled with wonder,
My poor mind cannot grasp their array
But the hand that spilled them there,
All across the wide heaven
Had a plan when He placed them that way.
Known only to Him
Are the great hidden secrets.
I’ll fear not the darkness when my flame shall dim.
I know not what the future holds,
But I know who holds the future.
It’s a secret known only to Him.
In this world of fear and doubt
On my knees I ask the question,
Why a lonely heavy cross I must bear?
Then He tells me in my prayer,
It’s because I am trust worthy,
He gives me strength far more than my share.
Stuart Hamblen was born this date 10/20/1908 in Kellyville, Texas to a father who was a Methodist minister.

How fitting was it that Frost penned
Of “snowy evening” at wood’s end.
Or that he loved New England’s cold.
And of its weather often told.
With snow, Frost was a lasting friend.
