We humans like all creatures to have a purpose, an aim,
From one-celled amoebas to fungi-spore glebas,
They need a good reason to compete in life's game.
Consider cats: They school us in hygiene
Licking their paws and their fur shiny clean.
And how 'bout tiny ants, who teach us industry,
Or lions and their bravery--and foxes with their knavery?
But what reason have seahorses to be in the sea?
What can they teach us? How can they enlighten you or me?
Can they sing or dance? Can they 'cut a rug' in the water?
And if they can't, do you really think they should ought to?
Well, please know that things aren't quite what they seem.
Seahorses are special, unique, and highly esteemed;
In the eye of the sea, they're jewels, all sparkle and gleam.
See the distinctive manner wherewith these fish swim:
Upright! propelling themselves ever higher via dorsal fins.
Then there's the spectacle of seahorse sex and mating--
No other males on the planet hold the eggs while waiting
To release them of a sudden by the thousands at a time,
And then go back at it with their 'exes' on the turn of a dime.
All this leads up to how traditional Chinese physicians
Prescribe 'seahorses' for whatever their patients get sick in:
Everything from wheezing and pain to inducing labor,
With TCM's** practitioners, these fish are ever in favor.
It's clear, my fellow humans,
From Peking to Paris and on to Toulouse,
Seahorses can certainly be put to very good use...

...Prompting this little 'caboose:'
Let US ask this question: Is human activity equally productive?
---Or do WE choose to engage in things far more destructive?

Almost all of my besties were off-putting at first.
They came in loud and proud, annoying or worse,
Luckily, I am not one to hold you to a first impression.
Being totally wrong many times is my honest confession.
Joann was one of the first friends I had as an adult.
She was outrageous and disturbing, not really her fault.
I was in a bad mood, but stayed one night after school.
Discovered then by herself, she was downright dazzling cool!
I have since learned more things about strangers all over.
Finding them in staircases, and parks filled with allergy clover.
I seek strangers each day, for they have much to teach me.
Opening horizons that by myself I could never see.
Nora taught me knitting, not that I was any good.
Elise showed me how to paint acrylic flowers on wood.
Susan is the one who teaches me to appreciate every day.
My congregate of new friends make me okay.
I may not know its name.
Nor its face.
Yet I know
it exists.
Some call it God.
Some say Allah.
Some whisper Yahweh.
Names differ.
The force does not.
A seed is buried.
It dies.
It rises as food.
Is that not grace?
Water flows
from hidden places.
The world drinks
without permission.
Is that not grace?
The earth is cruel.
Yet someone loves you.
Someone listens.
Someone stays.
Is that not grace?
We wound the soil.
We poison the sky.
Still, oxygen forgives us.
Still, bread appears.
Is that not grace?
I do not preach belief.
I teach gratitude.
For gratitude
is the highest prayer.
Life is ignored.
Abused.
Spent cheaply.
Yet it is priceless.
Remember this:
Life is not owed.
It is given.
Every breath
is Divine Grace.
And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.
Romans 5:5 NIV
Finally, brothers and sisters, rejoice! Strive for full restoration, encourage one another, be of one mind, live in peace. And the God of love and peace will be with you.
2 Corinthians 13:11 NIV
In Jesus death for our sins
Once for all that we might receive
His promise of the holy spirit
To receive new life and love within
We are all in this together
To give glory unto the Lord
Pray for the holy spirit to dwell within
That teaches
“This is the covenant I will make with them after that time, says the Lord. I will put my laws in their hearts, and I will write them on their minds.”
Hebrews 10:16 NIV
That no man shall have to teach but
Through the spirit giving wisdom, knowledge,
Understanding, peace, love,joy, gentleness,
And a longing for others to experience His love
Revealing the evil one around one
Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
Romans 12:2 NIV
May God bless, comfort, guide and fill you with His peace, love, spirit and joy in abundance, and pull us together to give glory unto the Lord which gives new life.
Hope speaks “In the beginning… “ i believe
that every tittle, cross, dot, word is light.
The narrow path - he leads us by the hand.
He did not leave us to misunderstand.
I believe he chose Abraham with his
descendant yield - multitudinous stars.
Many were flawed, as man has many sins.
The line of David, too, from which came Christ.
I believe that he arrived right on time,
new born in Bethlehem, brought to Egypt,
settled in Nazareth - and nothing good
comes out of Nazareth, but someone did!
I believe that he chose twelve men to teach
and reach the lost, but one would be replaced.
Judas, indeed, was lost, but never saved.
He did betray the Son of God with kiss.
I believe Christ suffered and died upon
a curs-ed cross then rose again from grave,
and i believe he was the sacrifice
for the sin of man - the unblemished lamb.
Because of Christ, we can be born again!
And I believe many saw him alive
he walked and talked and ate with them, and then
they saw him rise into the clouds. He left
mankind a promise to return once more.
And I believe his Spirit lives with us
to reach the lost. As tongues of fire rain down
and teach all men, show compassion, and grace.
I believe - Father, Son and Spirit - One!
At end of holy book, he proclaims this:
“Yes, I am coming soon.” and then he says,
Amen! Come Lord Jesus! - and I believe.
I wait for Christ - His open arms of life.

You came by to give her a surprise.
Her shorts and top were a feast for the eyes.
She says he was there to teach her trig.
Your doin' the jealousy jig!
She tells amazing stories, but alas,
This ain't a creative writing class.
To catch her is to catch a greased pig,
And you're doing the jealousy jig!
The smile on her face sure makes you wary,
Looks like the cat that ate the canary.
You wonder if that guy's really so big.
That's the jealousy jig!
Suddenly, she's getting so hard to reach,
Says she doesn't want to be on your leash.
Better get yourself a different gig,
'Cuz you're doing that jealousy jig!
Life offers more than hope
when one has no choice but to hold onto a rope
and wait for the delights to unfold;
will they be thrilling or a little surprising?
Many embrace vanity and are quickly sold
to the pleasures that leave emptiness after loving!
Being loved thrills me,
seeing serene skies is happiness,
waiting for rain is sadness;
I greet joy with open arms,
I send away rainy days shedding no tears;
being loved thrills me,
and such a gladness takes me farther
that I ever could: touching the brightest clouds,
letting the bold eagles teach me how to roar!
Life offers more than delight,
days not lived are lost joys never greeted
by angry hearts who are extremely sad;
and they will envy people with a cheerful attitude
who love life and have discovered a powerful secret:
they are ready to fly to a higher altitude!
Being loved thrills me
when the bond gets stronger
with a trust that's equal to truth;
being loved thrills me...
I like to share an unusual point of view
that I carried inside since youth:
" Don't sing the same tune, sing something new! "
Resume
“Rocks and socks, I need a job,
What is it that I can do?”
My new friend was waiting… for an answer.
“I can fly across the channel on a hot air balloon. “
“Really?”
“I can build a ship of candy and take us to the moon. “
“Hum?”
“And if there is time, we can step back in time…
And even feed the dinosaurs.”
The proper lady behind the mask, wanted to hit something.
Waste of time. Waste of space. Waste of…
“I can see you have never been in the air?
Perhaps you are not the travel type?
That is okay.”
Crossing the arms of challenge.
“If you close your eyes, I can teach you.
Now?”
In a room where we can go no where and do nothing,
set by limits, boundaries of stone and steel, we still need to feel.
Pray… God is listening. He can lift your heart to heaven,
to hear angels sing.
There is nothing here on Earth,
to compare, I promise you.
“Maybe there is a job for you.”
She smiled.
The women of Georgia are like a peach
Beautiful in all ways~ emotional,
mental, spiritual, and each will teach
skills to young women~devotionals
Peaches are versatile, fresh fruit to eat
Chopped added to milk and cream for ice cream
Pared, sliced, cooked in cobblers and pies~ a treat
Made into jam for biscuits; toast, a dream
Women of Georgia pass along their gifts
Whether homemaking or politics teach
Each one has something to share that will lift
our daughters to levels higher to reach
Women of Georgia dig deep in your well
Lift our daughters to ride the highest swell

Whispers of melancholy visions
Inspire my spirit with blessings
Sooth my mind with a liquid caress
As rain softly echoes all around me
Capturing my heart with droplets
That remind me why I feel alive
Like a dancing ember in the fire
Of this life where I embrace memories
And trace the silhouettes of pleasing
Thoughts which attempt to teach me
Love is with me through every moment
Each day brings with it a gentle touch
Of prayer that has seen me through
The storms that come with the rain
And give me the chance to prepare
For dark that gives way to dawn in time
After the tempest has long gone
Far away from my heart’s hopes
Where only the heavens can know
That there was once fear where there
Is now a feeling of true confidence
Faith in the love that comes from God
As it heals, helps and hovers around
The heart who knows that hope is real
And an expression of sweetest blessing
Sent down to us from eternity’s grace
Where we can know that God moves
The soul toward a kindness and joy
That comes from knowing real love
Love that is alive and like a fire inside
Awakening spirits and dreams and ideas
Creating wisdom within the heart that
Believes in love without conditions
Love that is filled with hope and faith
And all that gives the soul a reminder
That there is truth in the knowledge that
~ God is Love ~
