The Vibrant Channeled Creator

THURSDAY, AUGUST 31, 2023
“Let us not be discouraged if at times the summit of the Christian life seems too high and the path too steep. Let us look to Jesus, always; let us look to Jesus who walks beside us, who accepts our frailties, shares our efforts and rests his firm and gentle arm on our weak shoulders. With Him close at hand, let us also reach out to one another and renew our trust: with Jesus, what seems impossible on our own is no longer so, with Jesus we can go forth!”

Where I Come From
by Sally Fisher

We didn’t say fireflies

but lightning bugs.

We didn’t say carousel

but merry-go-round.

Not seesaw,

teeter-totter

not lollipop,

sucker

.We didn’t say pasta, but

spaghetti, macaroni, noodles:

the three kinds.

We didn’t get angry:

we got mad.

And we never felt depressed

dismayed, disappointed

disheartened, discouraged

disillusioned or anything,even unhappy:

just sad.
