We Had Hope

Walking this Earth in all of it’s beauty

Seeing the miracles unfold everyday makes me grateful

The mama doe and her fawn with Daddy close by

Lionesses protecting her cubs from all enemies

Eagles in flight as they soar to great heights

Waterfalls and forest glens peacefully adding their voices

Daffodils, dandelions, and tulips heralding spring to feed the bees

Robins and doves gathering grass and twigs for their nest

Baby birds eventually flying free to repeat the cycle

Roses on fences display their magnificent beauty and scents

Oh! How wonderful it all is!

To be alive, to be loved, to be a Mom

To awesome kids and Grand-babies

To know the peace of a loving and merciful, Holy Father

To be able to enjoy the bounty He has bestowed on all of us

Yet the ugliest thing arises each day and that is hate

It takes all the joy away and puts contention at the forefront

I want to live in my world of blessings without harsh word and vulgarity

The way it used to be when we were young and innocent

I know not all was peaches and cream but we had hope

Time seems to be eroding everything away

The beauty of the morning is disappearing into the darkness of night

Only we can change it but first we must want too

Therein is the vast crevice of disconnected souls

Who chose to harden their hearts with unyielding thoughts

The light of wisdom and grace can dispel this

If kindness walks our path with us

Oh to see the beauty of peace in the world gone crazy

Turned upside down with hell winning in the polls of people’s

Disrespect for life and liberty

The pursuing of personal gain overshadowing the needs of others

What a world to pas down to our young ones

God help us to see it’s beauty and to respect it’s being

The Earth will be grateful and we can stop to smell the roses again.

He Chose to Bless

I have not held very much store

In having lots and lots of more

I live my life in ‘make do’ land

And what I have within my hand

I don’t need gold or super wealth

Can’t buy joy, peace, or vibrant health

So living in this pieced together life

Cuts down on useless stress and strife

Sometimes I wonder how I’ll do it though

But then God supplies and let’s me know

He heard my prayers to fill the need

Long before I planted my prayerful seed

I have all I shall ever want for this day

I know I won’t do without in any way

The is no reason to even second guess

I am eternally grateful He chose to bless.

Veil of the Unknown

Shadows of light dance

Just out of view

Straining to see the future

But hindered by the past

What do I expect to see

Beyond this veil of the unknown?

Will I see loss with it’s devastating cries?

Maybe joy at finding love

That was lost long ago

Reaching out into this fog

Memories searching, seeking

But to no avail

Invisible thoughts can’t be held tight

Like a ribbon on a pretty package

The unknown contents beckon

Beyond this veil of time

Maybe it’s better not to know

For only God has the plan

His mysteries are for Him

To unfold, to show, and to give

The light of eternity calls the soul

To come, to explore, to ride

The waves of forever

To not be afraid of grace

As softness caresses the air

Sweet surrender is calling

Just beyond this veil of the unknown.

My Garden of Promise

I found God’s note for me today

Tender words written on pages of white

Promises of renewal and hope

Springing forth as the evening dew

Sweet aromas of love yielding to the heart

Sending into the day

Life giving songs of blessings to come

Surprises like seeds planted in fertile soil

Grow beyond today

Creating the harvest of bounty

We will call our new life.

Touched By Love

The heart does not come alive until it is touched by love. It’s only function is as a pump with which to supply the body with what it needs. But when life brings love to fill it and it begins to beat for others, it finds it’s way. It can be hard as nails but when touched by love it softens and becomes complete. It is pliable in the hands of God. It finds it’s true purpose which is to give life to the giver of that love and the receiver of that love. It chooses that person as it’s own.That is love-to be enjoyed and cherished. This is life-to be fulfilled and wondrously give by God. Romans 8:28 says, And this we know that all things work together for good to those who love God and are called according to His purpose.

So Dance

FBO 10/12/2019

When the time comes for me to go home

I won’t be here but you won’t be alone

I will walk with you in your forever dreams

I know you will miss me and be lonely it seems

Go on with your life and enjoy it

Don’t drag yourself down with sad regret

I was happy, and loved, and enjoyed life

I was mama, sister, daughter, aunt, friend, and wife

I filled my days here on this wonderful earth

With all my loved ones and friends of great worth

I never got to all the exciting things I wanted too

But in the end I did as much as I could possibly do

I kissed the face of each dear child of mime

Hugged grand-babies much of the time

The great grand-babies then came along

Of course none could do anything wrong

So dance today for you may never know

When it’s last dance and your time to go

Hang on to the cool memories

And smile, laugh, talk, and eat

As you remember me. I love you.

Will We?

A long time ago on top of a hill

Stood and old cross

Quiet and still

Having done it’s part

In redemption’s story

The Son had returned

To His Father in Glory…..

There will come a time

When we will see our Savior

There will come a time

When He will judge us

True and faithful

Will we be ready when time calls our name?

Will we be ready to see our King?

Time will no longer be our friend

It will judge us of our worth

Will we be counted with the sheep?

Will we be ready as a bride

Adorned for her wedding day?

The Son is coming back for Hos own

God has spoken so we know it’s true

Now it’s just a matter of time.

There Was Always Hope

Today I have made a choice at last

Choosing to become complete

I will take the moments in my past

That may be sad or oh so sweet

And knit them to my heart today

With the golden strands of life

And starlight from the Milky Way

Keeping joy to guard against the strife

I faced my hardships and trials

Walking the darkness of the scary night

Following the wrong paths of denials

Yet always coming back into the light

Many times it was so tiring just to cope

But knowing in the end I would be okay

My dream knew there was always hope

And, Father God, to show me the way.

Sometimes

Sometimes broken in a thousand pieces

Sometimes strong and capable

Sometimes sad and lost

Sometimes happy and grateful

Sometimes defeated in life

Sometimes flying with the eagles

Sometimes impatient and angry

Sometimes quiet and contemt

Sometimes anxious and afraid

Sometimes heroic and brave

Sometimes confused and doubtful

Sometimes trusting and obediant

Sometimes running and hiding

Sometimes braving the storm alone

Sometimes hateful and unforgiving

Sometimes peaceful and nice

Sometimes I am all of the above

At any given moment in time

Thank God for His grace that covers me

And His mercy that allows me

To be me: not sometimes

But at all times because He loves: ME!

Yet, On He Came

The road was steep

Jagged rocks tore at His feet

Battering the soles of His sandals

Yet on He came

Divine appointments had

To be kept

He knew His destiny had called

From the eternal beginnings of time

An old wooden cross was

Waiting in the darkness

Yet on He came

Thousands of people had to be fed

They had gathered for days

Seeking the One who would heal

Diseases, infirmities, blind eyes,

Leprosy and tormented spirits

Many would be ungrateful

And cry crucify!

Yet on He came

He knew what lay ahead

Within the Father’s will

Betrayal and denial

By those He loved

Beating and abandonment

Three rusty nails

To pierce His hands and feet

Forsaken by the Father

A grave with a door of stone

Yet on He came

He knew He would be

Three days in the pits of hell

To bring back the keys of Heaven

To give them a choice

That had gone on before

He would defeat the enemy

Of mortal souls

But, rejection would be their choice

Yet on He came

He knew that in the future

I would need a Savior

To save me from the wrath of God

To wash me of my sins

And redeem my soul from

The eternal darkness of hell

I didn’t deserve His grace and mercy

Yet on He came.

Thank You Jesus for saving me

I am so grateful you came!
