Jim Achmoody Poet Pastoral

Prayerful Praise

The Clementine gifts in 2009
Were symbolic
Of something alcoholic

Could be from the 'Grapes of Laugh'
Or maybe fermented from a bitter past-
Heaven knows

But one thing is clear
The taste that once set our teeth on edge
Is gone-no longer here

Thank You, sweet Jesus
It's Your Spirit
That frees us

Helping us restore blocked water sources
Supplying refreshment-changing our courses

It's finding new direction
Not a matter of our perfection

You are the Perfect One
The Father's uniquely precious Son

Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
