PRAISE BE TO GOD WHO BESTOWS US
OUR DELIGHT IN HIM
Praise be to God for bestowing us our delight in Him as we:
Pray for His power
Prosper through His plan
Progress along His purpose
Persevere by His providence
Perform in His prevailing peace
Job 23:10 Praise be to the Lord for leading us
toward the way we should take in our:
Quest for His blessings
Quietude against burdens
Query about Biblical built-up
Qualms in balancing business-bouts
Quelling from boastfulness’ boomerang

His omniscience that we cannot hide from as He:
Reminds our hearts of His granted redemption
Restores our holiness graciously along His renewal
Revives our hope through His governing reigning rule
Reinvigorates our helpfulness by His guiding reinforcement
Regards our health, guarding us by His goodness against ruin. Amen!

Catherine yawned today
made no mention of the prix
she had to pay
Love is a cussing word
She did the best she could
Gonna reinvent the wheel
The swallow always knows
and the doughty willow
fades to grey
And how heaven bestows
whispers to her flock
but we turn ourselves
into vessels of hope
First sight of fallen white virgin snow
Tats lace patterns on window panes
Grandma's breakfast stirs the house.
Wood burning flames chatter
In the old fireplace.
Festive winter
Children take
In its
Lace.
Charm
World cloak
In loose flakes.
Tinsel snowman,
Red Birds rustle the
Winter evergreens, and
Denuded trees by the front
Open porch greeting passersby.
Sun melts deep, shadows seize a cold night.

In the stillness of the night I saw myself-
captured in quietude and sinister peace.
Suppressing all that hovers,
truth saved by ivory silk covers-
I long to feel the calm life used to give.
So, I tarry and stroll along shores of woe,
stacking sandbags against the river of
tears I sacrifice just to feel the silence…
that haunts me.
Three million saved from lights of faith,
existence fears not what leads to kismet.
I see through glass that carries grains
just to ease my timepiece quivering-
and
I travel to mounts just to hear the silence…
that haunts me.
My essence used to shine in blue brilliance,
now it’s withered in ash without resilience.
Serenaded in fractions of non-fiction,
chronicles of a hush longing to be
whispered-
whispered in a way only I can comprehend.
For I am but a woman craving,
longing to embrace the silence…
that haunts me.

When Autumn rises, I shall seek her awe,
for crimson leaves descend with their soft grace.
On canvas I see sites I long to draw
while feeling the cool breeze against my face.
Some colors shade the dark to bestow light.
Medallion grounds with beauty in my view,
the rays ascending down from heaven’s sight.
The birds fly south and seek skies of teal blue.
I rest my head to feel the season’s woe,
for Winter soon shall be here with his chill.
I know it will be hard to let her go,
but Autumn has her charm and always will.
I can’t explain the splendor I foresaw-
when Autumn rises, I shall seek her awe.

God
bestows
great blessings…
plenteous, precious
overtaking* us
with heavenly treasures
while we hearken unto Him
and diligently do His will…
…ministering as faithful stewards,
…serving with joy, pleasing Him by faith’s might.
*Deuteronomy 28:2 And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God.
