Premium Member A Walk

I’ve taken many a walk by myself…seen the sunrise…
been greeted by a morning breeze
walked along the streets, the sand…followed a path among the trees.

Walking refreshes my attitude…my outlook
my view of the world as a whole…
It strengthens my heart, 
stimulates my mind…and reinvigorates my soul

But as much as walking by myself has served to brighten up my life
a walk is even more inspiring…when walking with my wife.

Away from the encumbrances of technology
walking in the mountain or along the coast
We are reminded of all we have and share…everything that matters most.

But if the joys of walking with my wife are easy to comprehend…
the benefits increase exponentially…when we walk with a friend.

Our hearts, our souls…our minds are constantly surprised…
when we add a new perspective…another set of eyes…

And when we talk to other people on our walk…strangers we meet along the way
I can’t be sure but I have a feeling…it brightens everybody’s day.

Which only goes to prove…
how waking and life can be compared…
for each by itself can be beautiful…but much more beautiful when shared.

And so I wonder when we look for solutions to hate and killing and war…
Would we find the answers more easily….
if we all walked together a little more?

Premium Member My God, Thank You For Answering My Questions

April 26 Scripture Meditations Based on Job 37-42

Key Verse – Job 38:1 Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind…

MY GOD, THANK YOU FOR  ANSWERING MY QUESTIONS

Thank You for answering my questions with Your presence
That girds me in my frustration-silence
As You demand my faith’s persistence
Midst doubts’ insistence and trust’s decadence.

Thank You for answering my questions with Your counsel
That enlightens me in my confusion-grapple
As You illumine my understanding with truth’s epistle
Midst obscurity’s darkness and falsity’s wimple.

Thank You for answering my questions with Your wisdom
That corrects me in my ignorance-boredom
As You guide my heart always, not just seldom
Midst lustfulness’ cravings and carnality’s freedom.

Thank You for answering my questions with Your query
That rebukes me in my self-pity’s fury
As You discipline my unbelief of its afflicting injury
Midst bitterness’ sorrow and discontentment’s misery.

Thank You for answering my questions with Your teaching
That strengthens me in my conviction-stretching
As You uphold my steadfastness through Your standards’ preaching
Midst indecency’s entangling and worldliness’ reaching.

Thank You for answering my questions with Your sovereignty
That leads me in my submission-humility
As You overrule my pride’s integrity
Midst haughtiness’ vanity and selfishness’ futility.

Premium Member Yesteryear

Yesteryear cannot deny
memories soft as lullabies
Dreams and wishes began to fade
as tomorrow overtakes yesterday

Wiser maybe foolish still
stubbornness strengthens will
Love and loss of life's way
haunts the stillness of today

Bitterness of overkill
sweetness of exciting thrills
Words spoken in haste
love lost never replaced

I see your face in places been
idle day dreams of us when
Selfish hateful me you taunt
as I pleaded was you I want

Gone from me you tore away
I knew you would not stay
the days grow short nights long
was loving you so,  ever wrong

Found others to replace the need
but I looked in them for you to see
No matter how good they were to me
all my love was to deceive

The snow is falling winds are brisk
I walk alone in winters mist
Cold I feel as cold is my heart
yesteryear of you will not depart.

The Loving Father

the loving father guides us and strengthens us every single day
if we take a wrong path  we hear his voice gently say
my child walk this way,
the loving father comforts us when we are in need
we know we are in safe hands when we always let him take the lead,
he is the one who always understands
he keeps us close to his heart and hold us in his hands,
the loving father is everything you imagine him to be
he is always willing to listen to you and to me,
no matter if i am happy, sad or just feeling a little low
there is no other place that i'd rather go,
if you're in a dillema and not sure what to do
the loving father is the one who will help you get through,
the loving father will turn your sorrow into laughter
he will make you dance with glee
God is the loving father and the loving father he always will be. Amen.


happy fathers day to all you dads' on poetry soup God bless you

US MORE AND MORE	

Praise be to God for increasing us more and more:

Bracing up our fortitude more so perfectly
Blessing our faithfulness more prosperously 
Breaking our futility toward more productiveness
Blowing our foolishness for more principles and precepts

being gracious to us while He:
Secures our salvation by His seal
Settles our souls with His sanctification
Satisfies our spirits around His sufficiency

Shields our service along His statutes for stewardship
 
Psalms 117:2 Praise be to the Saviour for His merciful 
kindness is great toward us; so we should:
Love Him with all our trust 
Listen to Him and to His tenets
Lean on Him and upon His triumph
Labour with Him, toiling midst tests or trials
Live for Him with thanksgiving, testifying about His truth 

Psalms 118:7 Praise be to the Almighty 
for being on our side:
Delighting in our earnest adoration
Directing us with His enthusiastic approval
Driving us by His enabling toward active attitude
Defending us from enemies with afflicting arrogance
Deserving our eager appreciation for His awesomeness. Amen!

Premium Member God Wins Over My Personal War

God wins over my personal war with His presence
Guarding my godliness-evidence
As He strengthens my faith’s essence 
Toward service-iridescence 
Thru His power’s persistence
Midst carnality’s insistence 
And humanism’s preference.

God wins over my intellectual with His counsel 
Enlightening my confusion-struggle
As He illumines my understanding’s ripple
Toward stewardship’s pinnacle
Thru His truth’s epistle
Midst doubt’s jingle
And deceit’s bugle.

God wins over my spiritual war with His victory
Sanctifying my guilt-worry
As He pardons* my sinfulness’ fury
Toward purified stewardship's glory 
Thru His compassion’s story
Midst wickedness’ injury
And evil’s misery.

*Isaiah 55:7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

Premium Member Unforgettable Adventure

Leave all your cares behind,
Come to where mystery,
History and godly hospitality
Will capture your imagination.
The hidden gate of heaven,
Has been revealed,
Through Christ Jesus, it’s sealed.
Your adventure could be exciting-
Not to worry,
About what you have left behind.

Let your imagination take you,
To the moss-covered oaks,
With the sweet fragrance,
Of magnolia blossoms
In the flesh air of life.

The Unforgettable Adventure,
That strengthens you
For the trials of life, you will face.
His rod and staff will comfort,
A table He prepared for you,
In the presence of your enemies,
He has anointed your head with oil,
Which run over into others life,
And you may be able to dwell,
In His house of peace,
All the days of your life.

Moving Mountains

Mountains are part of life’s journey,
They’re obstructions that separate us from our treasures,
They’re impediments that divide us and the meadow,
Mountains are signposts to greener pastures.

Each day I see strengthens me to move mountains,
Each night I’m chauffeured through pulls me up the mountain,
The closer I get to the Father,
 The higher it takes me up mountains,
The deeper I dig into His Word,
The better cliffhanger I become.

Though some mountains are recalcitrant,
They’re restraints to keep me on track,
They’re pride pruners,
They remind me that I’m not superhuman.

Visions aid me to move mountains,
The future I see strengthens my feeble hands.

Premium Member Meek and Weak

MEEK AND WEAK


Meek
Mild and gentle like a sweet child.
Easygoing, does not want to argue with you.
Endures through pain and sorrow.
Kind, forgiving and true.

Weak
       W~a~v~e~r~i~n~g               between thoughts.
   Everyone's punching bag.
                                 Absent of power.
 Kicked around.

Meek and Weak
Yet meek, strong-arms weak, through prayer,
strengthens weak with care,
lifts her head, feeds her soup,
offers him a job, helps him to cope.

Twins
In other words ~
Meek and Weak SEEM to be CONJOINED,
but one threatens loss the other    W I N S.

For the meek shall inherit the earth.
