A week of poem and encouragement for Cheerful Woman​ Readers 

by Jennifer T. Espina

Introduction

Thank you so much for downloading this book!​ This only means that you are a certified reader of Cheerful Woman Blog.

Actually, I created this book as an experiment on how to create E-book. Yeah that's the truth but I eventually thought I should give this as a gift to you who always visit my blog, the Cheerful Woman​ as sign of gratitude. 

This simple E-book is not perfect as this is my first try but just the same this will give you the following:

  • Well-thought out Haiku poem.
  • Encouraging verses.
  • An inspiration for you to create your own poem, E-book or start a blog.

This is nothing but a token of appreciation and my free souvenir to you!

About The Author

I am Jennifer Espina, 40 years old working mother (at the time when I started Cheerful Woman), mother of two young boys, a wife to Henry and a Born Again Christian living in Makati Philippines.

By heart, I love to write, to draw, to create, to cook and to read books.

I write three fresh (and hopefully insightful), personal tips I stumbled upon as I live my life as a working mother to stay-at-home mother and for being a wife in a struggling marriage. I tried hard to find something happy or funny in every struggles I write to make sure you (the reader) will smile every time you visit my blog. Well, a chuckle may be great! But I also make sure you will take away great advice based on the Word of God.​

As a bonus, I have here Haiku poems per post for you to ponder about.

I am also reviewing books I read once in a while to inform you (book lovers like me) to pick the best book to read next.

Here's Cheerful Woman's  Working Verse:

“Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable — if anything is excellent or praiseworthy — think about such things and the God of peace will be with you” (Philippians 4:8).​​

I hope you keep and enjoy this E-book!



Day 1: Path




"The LORD says, I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you." - Psalm 32:8


dwindled passageway

leading through dank graffitied 

thread of sandy steps





Day 2: Trust

"Trust God from the bottom of your heart, don't try to figure out everything on your own. Listen to God's voice in everything you do, everywhere you go; He's the one who will keep you on track." - Proverbs 3:5-6 
​


faith - floated away​

solitary leaf washed out​

just time to trust God​

Day 3: Love

"Let love be your highest goal." - 1 Corinthians 14:1
​


head and heart's cradle

I am the softness you seek 

love personified 

Day 4: Keep Quiet

"Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for Him..." - Psalms 37:7
​

​

orange rays on twilight

waves on sand beckons the stars

a sight to keep quiet

Day 5: Gift

"From the fullness of His grace we have all received one blessing after another." - John 1:16
​

​

most melodious sound

gift in rhythmic percussion

I hear from within

Day 6: Firm Foundation

"After you have suffered a little while, he will restore, support, and strengthen you, and He will place you in a firm foundation." 1 Peter 5:10
​

​

I see wild beauty

sheer curtains of sunlit cliffs   

quartz winked dazzlingly

Day 7: Shelter

"If you make the Lord your refuge, if you make the Most High your shelter; no evil will conquer you; no plaque will come near your dwelling." - Psalm 91:9-10

​

​

storm screamed like banshee

echo of fear bursting inside

my lone safe shelter
