Premium Member Women’s Of The Month March 1-31, 2026

Women's History Month had its origins as a national celebration in 1981 when Congress passed Pub. L. 97-28 which authorized and requested the President to proclaim the week beginning March 7, 1982 as “Women’s History Week.” Throughout the next five years, Congress continued to pass joint resolutions designating a week in March as “Women’s History Week.” 
God highlights that a kindhearted woman gains honor (Proverbs 11:16).
A woman was created because it was "not good" for man to be alone, making her a necessary and God-ordained partner rather than inferior.
Jesus recognized a woman’s faith and healed her from 12 years of bleeding, and she testified publicly (Luke 8:42-48).
Jesus welcomed the sinful woman into a room full of men as she anointed His feet with perfume (Luke 7:36-50).
Jesus entrusted the most important message in all of history to Mary Magdalene and told her to go and tell the disciples He had risen from the dead (John 20:11-18).
As the time of Easter is come up,
what woman of the month (of the years) is in your life?
Only you can answer that question.
Let leading of the Holy Spirit of God be your guide.

Joy


              
                  Joy, are you nothing more than a marker, 

             a road sign, 
             
designating an already known realization, 
of being on the right path, 


           the main path to righteousness?

               When I can clearly feel it, 
           see it, 
        know it.
Thank you Captain obvious!
                                                   Do you have an app 
that tells me I am reading from an app, 
just as I am reading it,           too?
Got any mirrors?

Sorry, I didn't mean to make you cry.
Now, you're making ME cry?!

You can continue 
your virtue signalling 
with my blessing.

Premium Member Defining Love's Essence

All of Man's
philosophy-literature and
poetry 
has failed to define love

but

a single act of sacrifice
succeeded in designating its
essence   
without ever uttering a single
word! *

their lives for others to live during coronavirus crisis!


Wind and I

the 
word "wind" 
looks as much 
like this act of 
nature as the sign, 
designating 
pronoun “I”, 
looks like 
me

The Sun's Rays

The sun’s devouring rays
Reveals an astounding sensation against the marvelous universe
It caresses the earth with warm hugs and gives life to the motionless gaze
Its auras are above nature’s designating exteriors
Its swaying beauty is beyond Earth’s inhabitants, deserving my praise

It treasures the sky with joyousness and forms swarms of jeering birds
The sighs of the wind attracts clamoring herds

The sun’s appalling flames
Unshackles a zealous tune that reveals the Earth’s accord
It embraces the atmosphere with remarkable claims
Unraveling my curiosity; my ears are pleading to hear more, so I go forward!

It prizes the ocean with eagerness and forms swarms of screeching seagulls 
The strength of the waves draws in scorching souls 

The sun's unattainable rays 
Motivate life to trail on till its duty is done
Its auras seep through the whirling sky and strays
Embracing ambitious love like a father and son
