anticipation
“God gives us a power we so seldom employ
For we’re so unaware it is filled with such joy.
And the gift that God gives us is anticipation
Which we can fulfill with sincere expectation,
For there’s power in belief when we think we will find
Joy for the heart and peace for the mind.
Just believing the day will bring a surprise
Is not only pleasant but surprisingly wise.
For we open the door to let joy walk through
When we learn to expect the best and most too
And believing we’ll find a happy surprise
Makes reality out of a fancied surmise!”

Wise words my friend. This is a very nice site. I'm getting ready to head over to your other site. I'm so glad you joined me at Daily Grace. God bless you.
Hello Larry... I have been looking through your older posts and most beautiful photographs... I also love all of your thoughts and quotes... I recently bought a beautiful book of Helen Steiner Rice's inspiring poems and I also received "Walden" from my sweet niece for my birthday... I share your passion for all God's creatures and thank you for being so kind... xoxo Julie Marie
