Rainy Days

 

Rain
Sparkling, clear
Christening everything far and near
dancing on ponds
droplets on fronds
Every once in a while
We can feel 
What is real
When the skies open up 
Filling our cup
Our thirst is quenched 
And the grounds...drenched.

Rain
From above us
Is always welcomed
by crops and trees
and children splashing
in  playful puddles
getting soaked -
up to their knees
Then... as time goes by
will  quietly disappear.
 
Like a faithful friend
rain brings a smile
and even if she doesn't
return for a while
the memories of
such blessed days
remain in our heart
with a prayer to God
of thanks and praise.

Thoughts of Peace

Thoughts of Peace

Thank you, God.
I am here
in this life
with a family
and a home
thankful to You
for my daughter
for my son
... for my husband-
my earthly home...
while we live
in Your perpetual
Love -for your
purpose and will.
We came from
You... and to
You -we return.
Thank you, God.

Jeremiah 29:11For I know the thoughts that I think toward you,

 saith Jehovah, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope in your latter end.

Heart Testament

 

 

Heart Testament

 

How often I have prayed
a prayer of thanks for
the witness of God's Word
and for the witness
I have heard
from the hearts
of true believers.

 

Hearts where there is writing
though done in secret
and quietly hiding -
Not set with an ink
that will someday fade
but Holy Spirit written
in Sacred Love
For all eternity
Heavenly
made.

2 Corinthians 3:3Forasmuch as ye are manifestly
 declared to be the epistle of Christ
ministered by us, written not with ink,
 but with the Spirit of the living God;
 not on tables of stone,
but on fleshly tables of the heart.

Standing In The Circle

  

Within the circle of the earth
lies the place of my birth
and though my first breath
was taken here
Someone knew me
before I was born
Our God of Love
And He's always near.

I ponder the circle...a sacred shape
With no beginning and no end
like the wedding ring that
binds a relationship
where two are one
with a love that
transcends.

The circle of life
brings us days
with blessings
and at times-strife.
Sorrowful days...
Teeming with tears
but tears of the
hard-working souls
are sown quietly
into God's ground
Where only good fruit
will emerge and abound.

Our labor is protected
and we stand forever
free in the circle with Jesus
safe in the circle of peace
Celebrating in the circle
of God's love,life
and liberty.

Based on:

Psalm 139:13For thou didst form
my inward parts: Thou didst
cover me in my mother's womb.

Psalm 126:5They that sow
in tears shall reap in joy.

Revelation 22:17And the Spirit and the bride say, Come.
 And he that heareth, let him say, Come.
 And he that is athirst, let him come:
he that will, let him take the water of life freely.

 

Love Every Moment

Love Every Moment


Dancing in the sunshine...
That's how I remember myself-
a little girl, delighted in how
my colorful sundress
would swirl and twirl
Wind blowing all around me -
singing softly, its sweet song
 before it  gently moved along...


To run with bare feet on the green grass
or play at the beach discovering "sea glass"
I cherish innocence and I've always
known love through all livings things
because all livings things point
to my  loving Creator above.

God created me to dream
under a blanket of stars
He made me able to feel
joy,happiness,sorrow
and heal from the times
that have given me scars.

I can love every moment
because of a greater love
that envelopes this universe
connecting  us to each other
and it's this truth that sets one free
to love every moment,
breathe it all in ...
as  it becomes  part
of our bold beating heart
with radiating rhythm
and eternal harmony.

Worth More

 

 

 

I sat for a while

and thought about worth

how values are determined

on certain gems of this earth...

as if they were even "ours"

to stamp on a price.

 

With faith as my measure

I value a treasure

not found in gold

nor can it be sold.

It's worth more

than anything

in this world

to me -

 

The sacrifice

made long ago

with sacred love

at a place called

Calvary.

 

Boundaries or Obstacles? Try The Roof.

Boundaries or Obstacles?  Try The Roof.

Luke5 :19 and not having found by what way they may bring him in because of the multitude, having gone up on the house-top, through the tiles they let him down, with the little couch, into the midst before Jesus.

Mark 2:4  Being unable to get to Him because of the crowd, they removed the roof above Him; and when they had dug an opening, they let down the pallet on which the paralytic was lying.

 

What do you do when the door you need to enter is blocked ?

You find another way. Look at the destination you need to reach from all sides. If something you need to do is that important - you will find a way to  meet that need.

These friends of someone who was ill, made a door to Jesus because this labor of love was that important to them. They didn't bang on the door making a bunch of noise. They didn't even attempt to go near the door that was blocked by so many.  Their faith gave them a new path to take. They worked together in one accord  as a team and got their friend to Jesus. The obstacles in their way didn't stop them from their plan.  They made an opening where there was none.  They knew who was in that house and if they worked together they would get their friend to be in the presence of Jesus.

How can this Scripture  motivate you in your own life this week? Don't turn away from a spiritual work that you know to be important. Don't give up. Your faith and your focus will take you to where you need to go .   Are there obstacles ? Obstacles can be removed or worked around. Look at the problem-knowing there is a solution available with the vision of faith and a devoted heart.
