For taking a nap.

how dare
we
lick our fingers
and
extinguish 
eyes so bright
as if
we alone
could
create a star

Premium MemberA LITTLE Christmas SONG

Jesus
a  Christmas
arrival

Beginning & end
 our comfort & friend
bringing  day 
  out of night,
sweet from bitter 
glory out of shame

 turns a pebble
 to a pearl
weakness into strength
brings
Grace to a face

of God with Us

Do not forget joy this Christmas

Christmas sets the foundation,
For us to set in motion,
Actions that produce the right kind of chain reaction,
Giving us the only kind of notion,
That can light up the path to redemption,
Without the need for a pointless disruption,
Of a coming together celebration,
That is meant to set the tone for the next generation,
To participate in a user-friendly conversation,
That allows for a yearly injection,
Of joy that brings hope back into contention, 
So, we can enter a new year in better condition.


Premium MemberA CHRISTMAS VERSE

CHRIST COMES FIRST IN CHRISTMAS
on earth,peace toward men of goodwill
when Christ comes first at Christmas
mercy upon those who revere God
if Christ comes first at Christmas
healing for the broken-hearted
as Christ comes first at Christmas
liberty to the captives
in Christ,if He comes first at Christmas
life,begins again
when Christ comes first at Christmas

Emotional Arrows

Guilt gets nothing built,
Of sorrow there is no need to borrow,
Anger ill suits an angler,
Patience requires a degree of experience,
Kindness is a great antidote to loneliness,
Hope requires more than one rope,
Love always comes from above,
Wisdom only comes out of one kingdom.

Recognizing Kindness

There are things in life,
That we search for all our life,
But fail to find,
Or fail to recognize when we do find.

Kindness is high on the list,
And like others on the list,
If you search for it,
You will be lucky if you find it,
But if you have good insight,
You will recognize it when it comes into sight.

Things That Give Me Hope

Unlikely Friendships,
Golden wedding Anniversaries,
Cold Turkey success stories,
Doctors who don't pull the plug,
Guns that misfire,
What some give up, to help others,
Sunshine on my shoulders,
Great Poetry.

God Loves Us All the More When

God Loves us all the more,
When we put the pain of others before our own,
When we help others out of the forest,
  into sunlit clearings.
When we notice less of what others say,
  and more of what they do.
When our help has no strings attached. 
When we celebrate Christmas more than once a year.

What To Give Them This Christmas

Still not sure what to get them this Christmas,
Don't panic,
There is still time,
To open your heart,
And think smart.

Despite the pandemic, 
The Housing crisis,
And the breakdown in the supply chain,
This Christmas could be the perfect time,
To show them they are not alone,
In the twilight zone.

Now would be the perfect time, 
To give your ego a rest,
And get off the merry-go-round, 
To put your feet back on the ground.

You may feel the task is too hard,
And nothing you can afford will,
Ease the stress for them,
Or you,
But before you hold that thought,
Search your memory banks,
One last time,
And you may find, 
Happy memories,
Though hard to wrap,
Will get you through,
And them too.

The Joy This Christmas

The joy this Christmas will come from
The celebration of being alive,
And avoiding strife.

The joy this Christmas will come from,
The written word,
Not the presents scored.

The joy this Christmas will come from,
From bullets dodged,
Not complaints lodged.

The joy this Christmas will come from,
Playing the role of a kind stranger,
And looking out for a neighbour.

The joy this Christmas will come,
From listening for the patter of little feet,
And not the police on the beat. 

The joy this Christmas will come from,
Playing music that is sweet,
And paying compliments to all in a tweet.

The joy this Christmas will come,
From pardons granted,
And new friendships started.

Get a Hobby and Find Happiness

Get a hobby and you will think it is Christmas most days,
Get a hobby and happiness will be with you to stay,
Get a hobby and you will see the world afresh each day,
Get a hobby and your life will never be boring.
Get a hobby if you want the conversation to flow,
Get a hobby if you are into sharing and caring.
Get a hobby and you will see beauty in small things,
Get a hobby and your hands will never be idle,
Get a hobby and make it easy for your friends and family,
To choose the right gift to put under the Christmas tree,
And ensure the house is free of humbugs.

Premium MemberSo That We Might Touch His Hem

SO THAT WE MIGHT TOUCH HIS HEM

heaven’s masterpiece
steps down from His throne
no fear of a baby born here

we identify with our own form
our Master gentle and kind
the Creator shows us the way

God’s perfect mediator
Himself incarnate
still we look up and see the stars

look down and see the orb
we stand on as it hovers in space
not easy to explain

His holy kiss
the washing of feet
the tears and hugs

the transfiguration—
the A-W-E of God

walking on water
the W-O-W of God

this newborn babe born in Bethlehem
will be called
Wonderful Counselor*
Mighty God
Everlasting Father
Prince of Peace

At His awesomeness we fall like dead men at His feet
As a starlit babe we view Him in a way we can understand

both Man and God, Deliverer and Judge

Christmas day upon us, may we hold His hem, kiss the Son
Let us stand, raise our hands in awe of Him, who commands

Isaiah 9:6-7 Old Testament prophecy

Bonsai: the Greening Oriental Art

You Texas Cuspidata!
Not you, and not a curse:
Taxus cuspidata, for Japanese Yew!

So, don’t confuse a plant with the Ibex
Ilex serrata – that’s Christmas Holly
Or Japanese Winterberry

Butterflies, butternuts, a Buttinsky?
Shut your eyes, it’s Conocarpus erectus
(Pastor here is only saying "Buttonwood" in Latin)

Meanwhile in nature, the pines of Japan
Are dwarfed like bottled thunder:
Pinus thunbergiana

The Christmas Spirit is perennial in China (?)
Schinus terebinthifolius
(Again, Latin for another plant:  Christmasberry)

Try to bonsai gladly;
A creeper in your home or villa;
Haha! Bourgainvillea glabra

My dad called this beauty, Pride of India!
Myrtle set me right, but India won at the end:
Laegerstroemia indica

Neighbors, boyhood buddies, international relations?
Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry? No plant connection:
Just Hackberry named Celtis sinensis
