Amazing spiritual fruitfulness* awaits as we abide always in God
Being fervently prayerful, delighting in His presence…
Compassionately having a heart for His work…
Diligently laboring for His kingdom…
Exercising faith earnestly by the Holy Spirit’s empowerment
Faithfully following His leadership
Giving generously to ministry-endeavours
Helping others with goodness’ blessings
Inspiring and influencing by the grace of His might
Joyously sharing the Gospel.
*Colossians 1:10 That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God.

Often I hear people complain about the simplest of things
In seemingly going insane with the little details life brings
Perhaps it's the traffic or a long line at the grocery store
Just take your own pick for I know there are a lot more
When we have so much as compared to other countries
We seemed to have lost touch with what the eye sees
For so many have far less but rarely will they complain
For they don't see it as mess but they still feel the pain
Their lines are much longer even to just get some water
Oh if I was a bit stronger waiting in line to place my order
Having to wait a whole hour for a doctors appointment
You wouldn't be sour knowing most of them never went
Sitting there at that red light just waiting for it to turn
My goodness, such a plight as we never seem to learn
What will a big storm do If ripples can rock your boat
We need to act more like a sheep and less like a goat
November 11 Scripture Meditations Based on Galatians 1-2
Key Verse – Galatians 1:15 … It pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace.
MY GOD, THANK YOU FOR SEPARATING ME UNTO YOU
Thank You for separating me unto You by Your mercy
From sinfulness’ evil persistency
Toward Your available pardon-sufficiency
Against my iniquity-inflicted deficiency.
Thank You for separating me unto You by Your grace
From nothingness’ vain trance
Toward Your steadfast salvation-brace
Against my worthlessness-ignited race.
Thank You for separating me unto You by Your goodness
From transgressions’ awful perilousness
Toward Your full forgiveness-righteousness
Against my transgression-afflicted guiltiness.
Thank You for separating me unto You by Your sanctification
From worldliness’ destructive abomination
Toward Your transformative holiness-direction
Against my pride-triggered ambition.
Thank You for separating me unto You by Your care
From bitterness’ apathetic stare
Toward Your compassionate love-welfare
Against my unbelief-gripped scare.
Thank You for separating me unto You by Your providence
From hell’s grievous residence
Toward Your wise control-confidence
Against my stubbornness-moved diffidence.
Thank You for separating me unto You by Your sovereignty
From selfishness’ idolatrous infirmity
Toward Your sure guidance-authority
Against my disobedience-pushed superiority.

My Dad is an Asian, declared by his color and height...
…since the supreme Lord has blessed him with that heritage
Through such physique, he performs well by great faith’s might
…that upholds his prayer life he regards as an advantage!
He is my Daddy dearest, my human fortress…
…who loves me, his darling daughter, as he trusts the Father’s grace.
Assertively adamant is he when his point he can stress
…yet readily laughs out loud when he loses in our debate-race.
I delight in his prudent sense of humor...
…with his wholesome jokes that need analyses
His boyish looks (decades ago) earned my Mom’s favor
…especially his mature perspective in facing crises.
A champion in his family-roles’ fulfillment…
…my Dad is a model of "the responsible provider"
He is governed by his faithfulness’ commitment
…and entitled with the award for "the steadfast home-builder!"
I thank God for my father* and his pampering kindness…
…but he has never “spoiled” me; that I can testify
To the Almighty I entrust my Dad’s years-bountifulness…
…for him to enjoy His goodness as His name he does magnify!
*Psalm 103:13 Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him.

Admonishing against arrogance and apathy
Building lives buttressed with leadership brace
Caring for his children, blending compassion and circumspection
Daddy* dearest is decisive, determined, diligent, dedicated, disciplinarian...
Empowering with his enabling encouragement
Fatherly figure, firming up family fortress by his faith-fortitude
Godly in gearing, guarding, governing, guiding along grace goodness
Hoisting us toward holiness-height, happiness’ health and heavenly hope...
Instructor was Dad: intelligent and inspiring
Jovial while being just; amidst job-stress, jubilant
Keen in his knowledge kingdom for kindling kindness
Leading us to love’s light along liberating lessons in life...
Man of mercy and might, managing meaningfully
Nurturing so well with Mom’s nursing nourishment
Offering and opening great opportunities for optimization
Prayerful Dad propelled us to perform with best for progress
Quitting not in doing best despite qualms to attain noble quests...
Reverberating Dad’s legacy, worth remembering
Surely serving as steadfast statutes of strength’s stamina
Truthful indeed against trying times toward triumphant tasks
Unwavering since he had them exemplified by the Lord’s uplift
Values he did instill is us verily make us victors, vanquishing vanity...
Wonderful Dad, you have made us today’s winners
‘Xample you are to us, a champion , a hero of ‘xcellence
Your memory* lives in our hearts forever; yes, beyond eternity’s yon
Zealous are we to thank you, and we praise the Lord for your virtues’ zest.
*Proverbs 10:7 The memory of the just is blessed: but the name of the wicked shall rot.
Daddy Roberto passed away on January 2, 2019, as he was called to be with the Lord forever. Dad, by the grace and power of the Lord, left us - his children and his grandchildren - with a great testimony of a blessed fulfilled life as a husband, father, brother, church member, community contributor; indeed a virtuous life-builder.

I can remember as a kid a toy that was popular, that I had called trolls
They were funny little cavemen with colorful hair and eyes the glowed
It was the fad to collect them all and to trim and shape their funny hair
They were fun to style and show off their funny fashion flair
Once the fad was over, they became the subject of horror movies
Depicted as nasty, mischievous little demons that were loony
They were evil green looking monsters out to get revenge
A goal of taking over the world where goodness would end
Trolls now take on the latter meaning in today’s world
Lurking quietly and hidden until they come out unfurled
Slinging verbal attacks toward others that are vile and mean
Mainly cowards that are full of hot hair blowing off steam
Trolls can go away and back to their miserable lonely homes
Stay out of the limelight and stop throwing hurtful stones
Trolls best belong as memories of sweet childhood toys
Not cowardly beings out expressing hatred just to annoy
God prospers our spiritual walk* with His assured salvation
Making us victorious by His constant sanctification
While driving us toward His transforming perfection
Along His enduring protection.
God prospers our spiritual walk with His wondrous goodness
Making us grateful by His abundant graciousness
While leading us toward His satisfying blessedness
Along His rejuvenating blissfulness.
God prospers our spiritual walk with His biblical certainty
Making us steadfast by His sovereign capacity
While propelling us toward His faith-strengthening authority
Along His character-straightening ability.
God prospers our spiritual walk with His warm fellowship
Making us joyful by His kind friendship
While bringing us toward His loving workmanship
Along His heart-drawing worship.
God prospers our spiritual walk with His wise teaching
Making us faithful by His firm truth-preaching
While lifting us toward His cleansing that’s soul-enriching
Along His reviving spirit-searching.
God prospers our spiritual walk with His granted contentment
Making us dedicated by His heavenly commitment
While upholding us toward His church ministry-involvement
Along His life-building investment.
God prospers our spiritual walk with His divine sufficiency
Making us obedient by His steadfast supremacy
While prodding us toward His fueling performance-proficiency
Along His commending persistency.
*Galatians 5:25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

In the morning light, a milk bottle stands,
A relic of bygone days, in my trembling hands.
Embossed with nostalgia, a link to the past,
From the dairy farm, where memories last.
As a little girl, I'd wait with glee,
For the sound of the milkman, with bottles three.
Clad in white, with a smile so kind,
Bringing fresh milk, a treasure to find.
The clink of glass, the cool touch of the jar,
Filled with creamy goodness, from cows afar.
A cap of foil, a symbol of care,
Delivered with love, from the dairy farm fair.
Each morning ritual, a simple delight,
The taste of fresh milk, a pure delight.
In that old bottle, a story untold,
Of days gone by, of memories bold.
Now the milkman is gone, the farm a memory,
Yet in that bottle, lives a legacy.
Of childhood moments, of innocence so sweet,
In the simple act of milk delivery, a connection complete.
LOVE IS... from A to Z:
Almighty force since God* is omnipotent source
Building life along grace toward triumphant course…
Compassion at work, exemplified by Lord Christ
Directed for man’s redemption, heavenly priced…
Earnest care for others, setting aside own need
Fulfilling the biblical altruism creed…
Goodness of welfare motive, goodwill prevailing
Hoisting hope against helplessness assailing…
Inspiration gearing influential impact
Jubilant feeling and joyous state with truth’s fact…
Kindness kindling our urges toward reaching-out
Liberating us from selfishness and greed’s clout…
Mercy, moving heart for ministry endeavour
Nurturing souls through counsel of wisdom savour…
Oh! Gift of the Spirit to grant with freedom choice
Personally shown over apathetic poise…
Quickening touch propping meaningful survival
Re-creating existence with blest revival…
Signature of charity, cheering self-esteem
Transforming “me first” attitude toward “we team”…
Understanding “Love thy neighbor as thyself” sense
Valuing togetherness, and each one’s presence…
Worthy treasure to cherish; more precious when shared
Xenial with thankful bliss as praise, totally bared…
Yielding lustful gain so that peace for all will reign
Zealous to do best, honouring the Lord --- love’s main.
*1John 4:7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.

THE NONSENCE OF BEING LOVED
IS SEEN BY THOSE WHO HAVE
LOVERS AS TRIVAL, AND SOME-
THING TO BE IGNORED.
THAN MIGHT THEY EXPLORE TO
AGAIN BE COUPLED BY THE
OF SOMEONE, THEY DON'T
THOUGHTS OF SOMEONE
THEY DON'T KNOW OR WISH
NOT TO KNOW.
ARTICULATE THE THINKING OF FRUSTATION
YET IT'S DETERMINATION
IS CITED IN WHAT SOME MIGHT THINK TO
BE UNREAL OR OBSEEN.
OSCILLATION AND GRATIFCATION SPEAKS
FROM WORDS, ACTED TO BE REAL
TO THOUGHTS
YET IT'S REFRAMIZIUM, IS STISIFICATION
IT CAUSES DRIFTS, AND KEEPS US APART
PATTERNS AND TRAITS
AND FOR GOODNESS SAKES
WHAT IS SPOKEN IS TRACED TO EXPOSE
THE RESEARCH THE AUTHER PROCLAIMS
HERDITY AND VARIATION
CLEARIFICATION, SPEAKS TO
HAVE HIS INTENTIONS REVEALED
VISIONS OF THE MIND
TO TRY TO DEFINE
AN EXPERIENCE TO INFLUENCE
THE WAY PEOPLE FEEL
A BLENDED MULIPLE
AN AMBIGUOUS DESIGN
TO THE END TIME REVEALS
