**********************************************************************
……..and now I see the brighter light because I first saw my own dark spots!”
**********************************************************************
The friends pulled and strained and stained and mulled
Up and up and up and barely one more dust mote trulled
Then stumbling over blots and mots and lots of dark spots
They bumped ‘gainst that bush back,that Shrub Woman’s clots.
“Tootle-roo! Tootle-ray! I trump and plump the air with bush nose!”
“Scootle here, scootle here, all ye who wouldst come to blows!”
“So bright a light through my twigs I find!”
“So bright a light— ’cause dark spots scraped and left behind.

You are a bright light in MY word, JulieCath! Bless you for this postive feedback and encouragement! It means such a great deal to me, coming from you. Praying for your health.

Wonderful, Rose, and through our trials, if we can only stay focused on that “bright light!” 🙂
Feb 25, 2012 @ 00:16:32
You are so correct, dear Lauren. We must stay FOCUSED! The constant upward direction pulls us right up out of the bogs of those trials in life.
Feb 24, 2012 @ 11:52:29
I love your creativity and wonderful presentation of truths.
Feb 25, 2012 @ 00:17:37
Bless you for encouraging my “creativity”! Coming from you, the wonderful author of this particular Lenten Journey scriptural guidelines, I am extremely encouraged and feeling quite blessed!
Feb 24, 2012 @ 13:19:57
This is one of my favorites so far, Rose! There is a great deal of wisdom here. You pack a punch with just a couple verses. You made quite a shiner. I wonderfully appreciate the wallop of light through the twigs you have painted here.
Feb 25, 2012 @ 00:18:45
Bless you many times over, dear Peter, for such enthusiastic and creative commentary here! Yes, that spark of light coming through the twigs just pulls us right up many a time, doesn’t it?
Feb 24, 2012 @ 16:44:23
Love to you Rose xxx
Feb 25, 2012 @ 00:19:49
And love right back at you, dear Jane. I know you are very busy with “springcleaning”, as you say. Therefore, I doubly value your taking time to check in here today. Best wishes and many prayers for all your endeavors these days!

We know that Jack’s big black shiny blob of a nose actually reflects much light of love into our path’s, don’t we, dear Christine? He is such an inspiration! So pleased you picked up on those particular lines about being able to see more light with the dark scales scraped away! Kiss Jack’s nose for me, okay?
Feb 25, 2012 @ 00:35:21
Nose kissed on a blushing creamy dog – he’s like strawberries and cream now!! 🙂

Feb 25, 2012 @ 00:38:06
Wow, you must be a great kisser to make Jack blush! And please stop tempting me with all those strawberries and cream images!

Leyla, so pleased you indulge in this type of word fun along with me. This helps so much to set the pace of our journey into light! Smiles and laughter just reflect and magnify the light in our lives, don’t you think?
