comes something cold and white
covering everything
like a layer of frosting.
It's like a wedding cake maker
worked late, but not as a baker.
As a pure, white frosting icer
making everything look nicer.
Her palette of fluffy white
decorates with much delight
as she pipes
with white.
She has fun with the frosting
as everything she's topping.
It's like she doesn't know when to stop
for everything in now white on top.
She knows when morning
finally comes
someone will delight in her sweet treat
by exclaiming her work is neat.
Her work beautified the earth
while bringing with it mirth
to young and old,
she's often told.
Though her sweet treat doesn't last long,
she'll be back again before long
with her special one-of-a-kind, pure white frosting
when you look out the window and see it snowing.
Take time to check out her masterpiece,
that covers with a quiet peace
as she pipe from her pastry bag
decorating with zig-zags.

Here's my recipe for butter cream frosting:
9 cups confectioners'
2 cups shortening
1/2 cup butter
1 cup milk
splash vanilla
Beat 7 minutes with heavy-duty mixer.
You'll find frosting sweetens life,
but not every day of your life
for it's not heart healthy,
neither waistline healthy.
Frosting is a sweet treat
to once-in-awhile eat
when you celebrate
a special event.
You'll find another sweet treat
is when encouraging words greet.
Encouraging words lift up
when you find you're in a slump.
Encouraging words are recalled time-after-time
when hope is needed to renew one's troubled mind.
Everyone could use an encouraging word -
perhaps written in a note or spoken heard.
Become an encourager today.
Help spread around the sunshine's bright rays.
Everyone needs encouragement.
I know you're in agreement.
How sweet are your words to my taste,
sweeter than honey to my mouth!
Psalm 119:103
Let your conversation be always full of grace...
Colossians 4:6

I am sitting here looking outside. We have thirteen inches of White Frosting on the ground and expecting three more later this week. It is so beautiful to look at and know that our Creator is watching over us. The beauty of His creations, are amazing to look at. Thank you for always inspiring and encouraging me. I cherish our friendship more and more, with each day that passes. May God bless you, always.
ReplyDeleteAnita, When you have a few minutes, you might look up all the verses relating to snow in the Bible. There are several. Beautiful images. On the previous blog I used, someone commented that they didn't know the Middle East had snow. Pause for thought: guess I thought sandy, desert places didn't have snow. Been editing Vol III in expectation that God will provide a way.
ReplyDeleteThank you Judy and I will, for I will write use it when I do a devotional, later. Yes, dear friend God will hear you and provide a way for Volume III. I have you in my prayers. I have a lot of reading to catch up on in your blog. :) Blessings to you and May HE bless you and your writing that give HIM praise
