Poetry ~ Cabbage After Christmas

Hello again, Hagar here.

On the to-do list Cale left for me I see there’s a prompt, “Ten Things of Thankful”–so I’ll get on that right away.  However, I’ll only be linking to Misky’s post (not up for doing Mr Linky).  https://misky.uk/2026/03/28/ten-things-of-thankful/

I’m grateful for Spring, even if it’s a tad chilly–it arrived speedily here, and some things are better when hurried along.

Also grateful for Public Domain images on wikipedia such as, Vincent van Gogh’s “Almond Blossoms”–used for current header image on this site.

It’s nice to be here as Cale’s substitute, not too scary yet, so I’m thankful to be offered a turn at the wheel.

Very grateful for Holy Week, an emotional time on the Church calendar.

On topic, I’m most grateful for JESUS, that He chose me out of a crowd of better candidates.  To be saved, and deeply loved as a “daughter”–it’s nothing short of miraculous that He’s my Lord.

Friendship is a gift I’m thankful for each day–to have a few people to share the dailyness of life with, in deserts and on mountaintops, is no small thing.  We are blessed to bear each other’s burdens with patient non-judgmental compassion–not everyone’s fit for the calling.

I’m grateful for “little things”…we never know how God may use them for His big plans.

I’m thankful for free movie streaming.

And microwave popcorn, even if it does turn me into a stick of butter with popcorn hair…I’ll look like my grandma!

I’m grateful I know WHOSE I am, and that my future is well secured–it irons out a lot of stress, I don’t have to be super-smart about everything.

Thanks to all who visited today, may God bless you bountifully✝

Hagar🕯
