Vacation 2019 --- wondrous indeed
From regular work routine, joyously freed
Toward fruitful clan reunion I did heed
Cognizant that God blesses heritage-breed.
Precious with every significant feature
Marked by program revealing tribal culture
Such meeting of warm and sweet kindness’ posture
Made me grateful for belongingness-gesture.
Entrusted to share Gospel of Christ* with zest
I prepared along prayer to do my best
Knowing that the Lord would work to the fullest
For loved ones’ redemption toward heaven’s rest.
Glad singing of praise-choruses did follow
Then food partaking allowed blessed swallow
Letting my appetite in feast to wallow
While basking with fellowship, never hollow.
Midst bonding time of reminiscence-delights
Testifying on home town great trip’s highlights
Especially being thrilled by hanging bridge sights
I confessed, “There, God vanquished my fear of heights.”
Then my exhilarating plunge fulfillment
Was realized thru water falls’ endowment
Enjoying natural gracious bestowment
With kindred fellows in earnest merriment.
Yes, 2019 vacation truly grand
Keeps warming my heart with memories’ demand
While posted pictures and videos “live-at-hand”
Beckon me again to visit dear home land.

Sought by the Lord to nestle in His grace
My soul now finds belongingness serene
Secured around warmth of divine embrace
Orphaned no more against abandoned scene.

As confession prevails over pride-whine.
Grateful to the Father’s adoption seal
Making me blessed heir through trust earnest

While serving with faith of triumphant zest.
My life I offer in running life’s race

Home is my Eden where You, my God, nourish me with Your bounty
Embracing me around warm belongingness of family love delight
Assured with security presence, barring disloyalty attacks
Fenced by Your providential guarding leadership!
Home is my primary faith-builder, bringing me close to You, my Creator…
As Dad and Mom exposed me to Your great omnipotence
Midst truths of miracles and realities of mysteries
Especially of personal relationship with Christ.
Home is my serene haven that has taught me genuine contentment
With my parents thanking You, Oh, Lord for Your daily blessings
Combatting dissatisfaction of materialism-angst
Subduing greed, covetousness and envy.
Home is my joyous commendation-source from Your wrought triumph, my God
Exemplified by my family’s gladness, praising You over every milestone
Be it birthday, graduation, anniversary, or any worthy festival…
Prevailing is “Congrats for doing your best by God’s grace…”
Home keeps me linger more for mind and body’s much-needed rejuvenation
When outside tasks’ incessant demands echo loudly with painful pressure
Succumbing to relaxation’s pleasure, I stay in Your comfort, Holy Spirit
Refreshed by loved ones’ touch and embrace, verily therapeutic.
Home is my fortress-might against injustice and violence of whatever nature
Vanguard of biblical virtues-values, constantly championing righteousness
Where You, my dear Saviour reign as Master with compassion and truth…
In You is heaven on earth; with You soon is eternal paradise.*
*Luke 23:43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.

Our pet dog is a home member indeed
She’s part of the family we truly care
As we meet her belongingness need
Providing good things God wants us to share...
Most of all, is our concern for her life* and welfare.

While actively playing her favorite game
Showing us wondrous tricks with her best...
Yes, she joins us in our prayer for all to be blest.

Inspired by dear parents, indeed gracious

It is all about an old scarf; old, but a nice one,
An almost invalid try to cherish a long-forgotten memory,
As life talks in many ways, through ups and downs, glum and glee,
Also, in a subtle tone, through the tremendous lens of wiser perception,
Only to find…
That fine line…
Between memory and fascination….
As time goes on…
I realized slowly…
In all the last efforts to see her glowing in my mirror,
In all the extra time of stirring to make the dish as perfect as her,
I was a mere shadow of a proxy, figuring a rather twenty-four-hour job
Never quite touched the finish line, never got spirited enough to cope up.
A sigh of relief, a deep memory of belongingness, could, still, hold the essence
An old scarf, an embroidered one, only enough to hold on to the long, long lost one.

Formed from varied wombs, love vessels so-called
we painstakingly faced the reality of growing up together
though nurtured … with compassion in one big home---
... propelled by care-givers toward triumphant journey.
While learning about family matters
our minds were confronted on parents’ whereabouts
then struggled to relate midst partnership endeavours---
... till prayerfully overcoming belongingness-insecurity.
In our status as once abandoned and orphaned children
surrendered, not by our choice, to a residential institution
never did we know our foot steps’ advancement---
... but are now assured of soul-assurance vis-à-vis eternal destiny.
Grateful to have been adopted and fostered
our hearts praise the Lord for His sovereign provisions
leading us, through faith, to salvation-islands along rescue streams---
... today, we're enabled to reach-out by His HIS grace* voluntarily.
*Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God.

Admitting need for solace from lonesomeness
My soul seeks hope propped by serene blissfulness
To overcome feeling of separateness
Imprisoning me around guilt’s awfulness
Fortified upon conceit and selfishness---
Oh, how can I escape from this woe’s grievousness???
Confessing to God Who offers forgiveness
My heart is stirred midst blest freedom’s graciousness
Toward sweet divine interconnectedness
Breaking loathsome bondage of sin-heaviness
During prayer in His altar of goodness
Welcoming me for fellowship’s bountifulness
Triumphant to share friendship along kindness---
Yes, I praise the Saviour for pardon’s greatness!!!
Grateful for the Lord’s granted belongingness
My spirit rejoices* with sheer peacefulness
Aware that in recognition of oneness
With HIM is being gripped by His love’s pureness
Redemption through grace, mercy, truth steadfastness
Reminding that without HIM is worthlessness
Since His presence satisfies life’s completeness---
Now, I journey with HIM for service-fullness.
*Philippians 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice.

Let us mingle midst belongingness-worth
As partnership creates blest bonding zest
Around healthy camaraderie's mirth
We first experienced in our homes' sweet nest.
Growing up along our mingling terrain
We learned that with others, we ought to blend
Fellowships, we built; and friends, we did gain
Keeping them graciously until the end.
Having spirit toward gratitude light
With sharing, giving, caring, loving-glow
Mingling blooms in companionship delight
For God grants joy* along engagement-flow.
Let us continue in our mingling spree
Smiting hypocrisy through respect-ground
Showing kindness of peaceful good-works' glee
Thankful for brothers and sisters around.
*Romans 15:32 That I may come unto you with joy by the will of God, and may with you be refreshed.
