Where are the Penguins?

Today I worked on tidying things up in the house. I worked to compact my “yard sale” area. Seeking to move yet more stuff into the pile as I reduce the amount of stuff we have in the house. It’s a process. But I’ve got a burn in the back of my brain to get the kitchen back in order so moving stuff is important. 🙂 ALL this to say, I had no time in my day to look up Andrew’s word prompt… which is Penguins! That question I’m sure that is burning in all your minds is where are the penguins? Did I find them as I moved things around?

I checked the office shelves
pulling off bunny figures,
removing packs of cards, and
even shelving books.

Wondering through the fantasy books,
I noted the ceramic puppies,
now some 35 years old,
but where are the penguins?
NOT HERE!

Going through the games,
I saw squirrels and bears,
Camelot in battle, The
risk of global domination, and
dicey situations.

But alas, no penguins.
Homeschooling no longer,
books have to go!
Puffins, WW2, the human body,
wolves, and math galore.
I’m fearing the penguins
are no more!

I wandered back to the office,
needing to take a break.
Considering my long term plans
for fun when the work is done.

Beginning the work of
planning out my zoo.
Imagine my delight when I see…
Lego penguins! Black and white,
little cuties from Temu.
Penguins waiting for
water, ice, and snow!

Considering the More

I’ve had cause lately to be asking the question… where are my penguins? Okay, bear with me a bit eh?

Penguins was the word for the day, the one important thing to consider, and I couldn’t find them until I actually went looking for them. I found my penguins in my lego, right where they were supposed to be. What other things do I miss if I’m not looking for them specifically? God says, those who seek him find him. So, how do I go about seeking him? Will I find him where I expect? Within the pages of a his book? In the music I listen to? How about in the books I read? In the studies I do like Unexplainable Jesus? Do I keep my eyes open and my heart soft to him?

Where do you find him when you go seeking?
