Confusion scrambles, causing "brambles",
Everywhere it touches down.
It will thrive when people strive
And soon cause everyone to frown.
Douse it's flame... don't play that game.
Choose to turn away from it.
Be slow to speak, but quick to seek
The Lord for answers which befit.
When wisdom rules, confusion "cools",
And turmoil then will dissipate.
For wisdom's peace makes chaos cease
And order will facilitate.
"For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and with hypocrisy. And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace."

Growth
Growth happens when we aren't aware,
Through God's faithfulness and care,
When we struggle or make error
And when we seek Him with our prayer.
Growth may happen as we "wait"
And as we trust Him for our "fate".
Growth will happen when we fail
Or do not know what makes us ail.
Stumbling blocks and hurdles steep
May cause us to bow down and weep.
We may not know or understand
Events which come or make demand.
In each day we have the chance
To thank our God for circumstance.
As we praise Him He will do
A work within us which is new.
He'll give wisdom over time.
Each "hill" we face He'll help us climb.
He will help us understand
If we trust and take His hand.
If we WANT to, we will grow.
And though the progress may seem slow,
God is faithful to abide.
He'll always be there by our side.
"Being confident of this very trhing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ."
Philippians 1:6 KJV

Springtime's Fun
Springtime blossoms on my tree
Fill my day with smiles and glee,
Dressing up each bare brown limb
With flowers as pretty as a hymn.
After winter's brown and grey,
Springtime seems to smile and say,
"It's time to decorate anew
And paint a sweet bouquet for you!"
She splashes color everywhere
With sweet abandon to declare,
"A bright new season has begun!"
I'm blessed to watch her have such fun!

Yesteryear's Treasures
I long to "ope" the "cupboards"
Of the folks of yesteryear,
To peek into their daily lives
And conversations hear.
Life then was more simple,
Their priorities more clear.
They worked hard and persevered
With faith which was sincere.
The "cupboards" of these homes
Were filled with wealth and treasure.
Though they were not rich
They had wisdom in great measure.
We can learn a lot today
By looking at "the past"...
To learn of their great treasure
Which they knew would last and last.

The Daily News
When we turn on the news
We're bombarded with trouble
And shaken by scenes
Of destruction and rubble.
We see people suffering
With no place to go.
Those who lost loved ones
With grief are bent low.
And then we hear those
Who point fingers and bicker,
When working together would
Get things done quicker!
This we can do....
With much prayer intercede
For those people who lead
And for people in need.
For our God will help them
This time to get through.
He will strengthen and lead them
To know what to do.
"Give ear, O Lord, to my prayer;
And attend to the voice of my supplications.
In the day of my trouble I will call upon You,
For You will answer me."

Beautiful Words
This is one of the cries of my heart...
Let beautiful language not be a lost art.
Contemporized lingo is harsh to the ear
And often is not very pleasant to hear.
Beautiful words inspire me within
And draw me away from life's tumult and din.
Let lovely words come and dwell in my soul,
Bringing refreshing and making me whole.
Words are as light and truly a way
Of escape into luxury all through my day.
They are to my spirit a breath of fresh air...
As heavenly music... exquisite and rare.
"A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver."

A New Hunger
A Prophecy
March 20, 2008
There is a groundswell happening across the land... of people gathering in prayer, of hearts crying out in hunger for righteousness and truth.
Evil has trampled on goodness and light, and boldly lifted it's head in public arenas. There are many voices in the land which have not spoken truth. God has seen the greed and injustice, the violence and hate. And He has heard the weepings and seen the sufferings of many throughout the land. He has heard the outcry of the hearts of the people. His anger has been stirred, and He will honor the prayers of the saints whose heads are bowed in prayer.
He is truth. He is light. He is able to save, to restore order and bring justice where there has been injustice.
Our God is able!
"Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world."

God Cares For You
Our God is able to fix what is broken.
His love is great - it's not just a token
But full of solutions and answers which heal,
Which mend and restore and are very real.
For He, more than anyone, cares about you.
He can untangle what may be askew.
When all seems to fail, He will bring hope,
Give you new courage and help you to cope.
Whisper a prayer, lean on His arm.
Ask Him to take your fear and alarm.
Know that He hears every prayer of your heart.
Our God is able to give you fresh start.
"I waited patiently for the Lord; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings."

Complete In Him
The Lord has given gladness
To overshadow sadness,
Poured out love and joy
To be our constant buoy.
He has given cheer
In place of blues and fear,
And filled us with His peace
Causing restlessness to cease.
He has birthed salvation
To save us from damnation,
Redeemed our sin-sick soul,
Then healed and made us whole.
He covers us with light,
Fills our lives with power and might.
We have courage to stand tall
Whatever may befall.
In His grace we find retreat.
In Him we are complete.
He is Master, Lord and King.
We to Him all glory bring!
"For I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day."

The Spotless Lamb
Jesus was the spotless Lamb,
Pure and holy, white as snow,
The sacrifice of greatest worth,
The greatest love we'll ever know.
This One Who reached out to all men
And walked in great humility
Became the Lamb Who bore our sin...
The hope for all humanity.
We cannot fathom such a love
Nor comprehend His glorious ways,
But worship Him with all our heart
And serve Him all our days.

Eternal Treasure
Earthly goods have no real worth...
To heav'nly life cannot give birth.
Heaven's treasure is priceless gain...
The highest prize we can attain.
All we have will pale and dim
As we see Christ and worship Him.
What joy will come within the soul
As we shall reach our heavenly goal.
No more tears and no more strife,
Which often touch our present life,
But fellowship before the throne
With Christ and those who are His own.
"If we suffer, we shall also reign with him....."

The Foot Of The Cross
Any and all may come....
A place where all are equal....
A place where one can be transparent....
A safe place....
A place of rest for a weary soul....
A place of release for a broken heart....
A place of comfort for the lonely and the hurting....
A place of redemption from sin and shame....
A new beginning....
THE CROSS
Is our friend....
Is an anchor point in a shaky world....
"Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him, endured the cross, despising the shame, and has set down at the right hand of the throne of God."

Garden Of Prayer
A Vision
The place of prayer is as a lovely garden, pleasing in every way to the eye, to the senses and to the spirit... a place of enveloping peace.
As I enter in and begin to walk there I am deeply aware of it's loveliness. Everywhere there is loveliness. The pathways are soft under my feet, and my footsteps feel cushioned by the softness. The air is pure and fresh, and the prettiness of flowers and trees is very soothing. The beauty of the setting penetrates my very being.
Though I have entered there alone, I do not feel alone. As I gaze at the extraordinary creativity of our loving God I am filled with wonder. I am so drawn to Him, and my soul is flooded with thanksgiving. For I realize, as I see all this beauty, that I am looking at the very nature of God. I am looking at His heart. The garden has great depth of expression, endless color and variety... more than the eye can take in and more than the senses can absorb. And I sense that around every bend in the path there will be more wonder and awe.
The path will not end, for in prayer there will always be more of God to discover. I know that no matter how much time I spend in the garden, there will always be more. Only a loving God would provide that much beauty just to bless me. I realize that He resides in loveliness... it is His nature. And He invites me to freely enter in... the gate is always open.

Heaven's Touch
A Blessing
May you find an open door,
More than e'er you had before,
To enter Heaven's "store"
And God's riches to explore.
May your heart be upward-trained

And your footsteps be ordained!
May your dreams be realized
And your blessings be "up"-sized,
Your spirit energized
And of Heaven's wealth comprised.

Palm Sunday
IN REMEMBRANCE OF THE CROSS
It's good to have remembrance
Of the cross and He Who died,
Who gave His life that we with Him
Forever might abide.
The cross for Him was heavy,
And the road He trod was long
As He became redemption
For our sin and for our wrong.
It's good to bow in reverence
And contemplate the cross,
To realize how great His love
So we would not have loss.
Blessed Savior of Mankind,
We offer sweet oblation
Of glory, laud and honor
To express our adoration.
"Every day will I bless thee; and I will praise thy name for ever and ever."

Responding In Love
When "feathers get ruffled" and "fur starts to fly",
When things have gone wrong and tension is high,
Don't let emotion have rule in your day,
For "reaction" will build and add fuel to the fray.
Be slow to anger and be slow to speak.
It's best to be quiet, lest havoc you wreak.
A well-thought-out answer will soothe and correct,
Will bring understanding and anger deflect.
Diplomacy, measured with love and good will,
Will overcome strife with kindness and skill.
Responding in love will console and bring healing...
A wonderful way to establish good feeling.
"A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger."
Proverbs 15:1 KJV
"Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: for the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God."

How blessed is God's peace and calm,
Flowing as refreshing balm.
It rests in place throughout my day
And shields me from the usual "fray".

He keeps me steady by His hand
My daily struggles to withstand.
His Word is manna for my soul,
Healing, soothing, making whole
The broken pieces of each day...
My reinforcement and my "stay".

A Little Boy's Dilemma
I don't like chores... I want to play!
I wish the work would go away!
It should wait until I'm through
With all the things I WANT to do.
But when I've played with car and truck
And then still have my chores... Oh, yuck!
They're worse to do whan I am tired.
Then I'm REALLY not inspired!
Work is simply not much fun.
I'd rather draw or play or run.
I should learn to not make messes.
Then I won't have these distresses.
Being neat is quite a job,
And "cleaning up" my time will rob.
(I should give away some stuff.
It seems I have more than enough.)
I will put my things away,
For I'm learning every day...
If I hurry and get done,
I'll have more time to just have fun!

Prayer Warriors
There is an army in the land...
Precious saints who pray and "stand",
Warriors of power and might
Who use the Word to war and fight,
Pushing back the evil tide
Of death and darkness which reside,
Rising up to take command,
Joined in heart and hand-in-hand.
God is calling young and old
To join His army and be bold,
Breaking strongholds, gaining ground,
Forging victory, upward bound.
"Through God we shall do valiantly; for he it is that shall tread down our enemies."

God Is My Strength
God is my strength in times when I'm weak.
He is my voice when I cannot speak.
For words sometimes fail, but He is right there
To give me good wisdom and save me from "snare".
His peace is a bulwark when I tend to fear.
There I find rest and my qualms disappear.

And find my direction when life makes demand.

To rise up in strength to the best I can be.

In Him I'm fulfilled. He answers my plea
To rise up in strength to the best I can be.
"The Lord will perfect that which concerneth me..."
Psalm 138:8 KJV
