Imperfect Prose - New tenants

The old barn
once home to horses, cattle
kids of prairie blood,
serves us
as garden shed, storage space
and garage against winter wind
in this land where vehicles are "plugged in"
at night when temperatures
go down
to numbers unmentionable,
the walls are holding life
again

strokable
with deep purrs that praise their Creator
content simply to be
stretched out in joy
and warmed by the sun.

Let everything that has breath and every breath of life praise the Lord! Praise the Lord! (Hallelujah!) Psalm 150:6 Amplified

    "Let all that hath breath praise the Lord." Amen! i love the picture of kittens' purrs praising God.

    What cute new tenants. I esp. like the part where they're purring praises to their Creator.

    Great wording.

    This is really nice. I especially love:

    "strokable
    with deep purrs that praise their Creator
    content simply to be
    stretched out in joy
    and warmed by the sun."


    This brings me joy. Thank you.

    That black kitty. Priceless.

    I remember plugging in.

As we travel on the road our Lord has placed before us, it's nice to meet a friend along the way. Thank you for stopping to leave a few or many words, I'm always interested to read your thoughts.
blessings and love,
in His service,
in the fire,
