God's omnipresent love is always there for us. We just need to accept it. I enjoyed reading this beautiful poem and presentation. I don't understand how you present such perfect work twice a day.

I love the contrast of the tempest descending and causing the falling with the ascending of prayers to our loving and omnipresent God Who alone can lift our spirits and clear the skies for us!

I sent you an email but in case you haven't checked, Johnny's angiogram procedure came out good...no heart attack and no blockage... yay! Thank God! And thank you for praying.

What's next for his treatment?

reply by the author on 12-Oct-2023

We didn't talk much about his treatment yet. I am just happy the worst is over. He said it's the usual... diet, less sodium, exercise ... etc

I love the tone of turning our problems over to God. It is hard to do sometimes but once we let go, our perspective changes. We can't handle everything ourselves. God will be with us. Beautifully written. Gretchen

This was a fantastic tanka, Gypsy. Seeking God is divine when done appropriately. The pictures included cover the girl in the water and a single rose. Very well done and greatly enjoyed. Blessed Be n Hugs!!!

Yes, God's approval is the most sought after thing that any man (or woman) deserves, but nevertheless when we believe, we become perfect and approved through Jesus, wonderful post, blessings Roy

Ah, Gypsy!
One of your finest offerings!
And a Tanka = one of my absolute favorites!
Love that you have presented to the reader a double tanka! No easy feat!
Beautiful emotive imagery as well...

Thank you for sharing!
