Cabin Fever Conversations With My New Friend

sometimes in the midst of life
i can sometimes be so lost in myself
i lose sight of such a beautiful treasure
while sleeping one day, God woke me up
He told me to take my blinders off and forget MY normalcy

choosing unselfishness, i ask about her children
choosing thoughtfulness, i ask about what else brings her joy
choosing to refocus, i ask about her other favorite things
choosing the inner enjoyment of it all, i just listen to the resulting anecdotes
learning from the overall conclusion, i Thank God for Intervening

the tears slowly flow when i realize that i never really knew my New Friend
consoling me, she begins to ask me the same questions
it is when i saw her tears flowing that i discover that i was not alone
our apologies are expressed by our newfound openness
our acceptance of each others' apologies comes when we ultimately forgive ourselves

the dust is now settled
all the smoke has been cleared
all eyes are now clear and dry
forgiveness has now bee officially confirmed
it is time to finally try the butterscotch sundaes, the white chocolate chip cookies, and the vanilla almond milk

Thank You For Your Sacrifice

Help given is a wonderful thing.
Giving of your time is quite suitable.
Giving your money, unselfishness showing.
Laboring to clean this world is also very noble.

Yet there is one type of person that stands out
The one that says I will go at the drop of a ball.
Not asking why or where on the commanded shout,
But, stands ready and willing to heed the call.

These are the ones that protect our freedom.
That give us a security that not many know.
They leave families not sure when they will see them.
They sign their name not knowing where they will go.

Our armed forces are the elite of humanity.
They serve not only the US but humankind.
Some giving their life, some their sanity.
All to protect the ones they leave behind.

So I say THANK YOU to the families of the graves now visited.
For the time you have given and family memories lost.
I say THANK YOU, to each veteran and those now enlisted.
For you go even though some have and will pay the ultimate cost.

Premium Member Oh To See My Name Written In His Wounds

The son of God in human flesh 
Jesus Christ incarnate was He 
came here with one purpose in mind 
to save mankind and set them free 

This He accomplished on Calvary's tree 
there Jesus the Godman was crucified 
paying the price for our sins 
taking our place for us He died 

Ponder afresh at this unselfishness 
the eternal God in mankind's place 
shedding His blood in full atonement 
displaying God's magnificent grace 

Now look at His wounds 
is your name written there? 
has Jesus blood covered your sin? 
by faith believing can you dare? 

Oh to see my name written in His wounds 
such an honour is given to those that believe 
who can confess that they've been ransomed 
from eternal death never again to grieve

AUTHOR NOTES: When listening to Stuart Townend's marvellous worship song 'The power of the cross', these thoughts came to me thinking on God's great love in giving His son for our sins.

Watch it on youtube if you wish.

Premium Member The Bias of Love

Love  seems to be loved most of all
it's a subject that's always number one
people turn to it so very easily
one's affections capture it bar none

There seems to be a bias always
when one mentions it's meaning
ladies especially love all it's tones
brightens their faces to be gleaning

The song says 'we all need love'
it makes the world go around
jewellers would be poorer without it
without it more trees would be found

But there's a lack of real true love
one that would show unselfishness
putting the other first before self
brings true samaritan full of goodness

So show love in it's deepest meaning
display it high and with capital L
be really biased round your bend
making others wish to ring your bell!

Premium Member Wishes Waisted

The Genie asked me what my three wishes will be
what would be my wildest dreams come true
which riches could he bestow on me
what magic would I like to know
which kingdom shall I rule
what is my passion?

I only want to rid the world of evil
cleanse the lands of sickness
fill the shelves of those who hunger

The wishes are for U
what good will these do
your passions will die 
your dreams will grow cold
I can make U live forever 
instead U choose to grow old

Yes but children will only know peace
they shall always be well
and they will never know hunger
and the greatest wish,is unselfishness

Who Taught Love Only Not Hate

Oh! God
Simply free boundary…less…lovely God…………………………………………………....
Almighty Omnipresent……. every where………..unthinkable with material sense 
no definition in words of any material body of any formations…..
Just who truly devote as per His deserved standard
With the strength of strength of unselfishness and egoless feeling 
Blessed a tiny light out of Him
With that light who are blessed
He loves His Diamond sons much………..
Feel Jesus…. Adi Shankaracharya, Sai Baba,                                                     Rama Krishna…..Shankardev....Madhabdev....Hazrat Mohammad…

In this fast paced world of ours
I still enjoy lifes simple pleasures
It’s the uncomplicated joys
That I truly value and treasure

I treasure the joy of nature 
Simplistic, raw, complete
The joy of family and friends
Loves connections pure and sweet

I treasure the joy of a  beloved pet
A four legged member of the family
The unconditional love they possess
Has no end in it’s entirety 

I treasure the joy of home
Shelter safe and secure
Precious blessings and comforts inside
Where happiness is assured

I treasure the joy of freedom
Fortunate to safely roam
In a country that I love
A country I call home

I treasure human Kindness 
One of give and share
Of unselfishness and acceptance
Mankind simply being aware

No desire for material riches
Or the need to be entertained 
I treasure lives special moments
Where lasting memories remain

I treasure affection and humour
Laughter is a true pleasure
In this fast paced world of ours
I’m so blessed with glorious treasures!

What's In Your Will?

Not everyone has houses or lands, gold or silver, stocks or bonds, IRA’S or CD’S, Cars or cash, insurance policies, etc. But that does not mean we have nothing to leave behind when we depart this earth. The best things in life are still free, and there can be great qualities in our lives that are well worth the leaving. So why not make a ‘None-Material Possession Will’, and describe from A to Z what you wish to leave behind. i.e.


A  ATTITUDES THAT ARE GOOD WILL OPEN DOORS
B  BOLDNESS IS STRONGER THAN COWARDICE
C  COURTEOUSNESS IS NOT A WEAKNESS
D  DECISIVENESS IS A FOOT- FORWARD ACTION
E  ENERGY IS THE SPARK THAT IGNITES THE MIND

F  FAITHFULNESS BUILDS CONFIDENCE
G  GOODNESS HAS NO SUBSTITUTE
H  HONESTY CREATES BELIEVERS IN YOU
I  INTELLIGENCE IS NOT LIMITED TO NUMBERS
J  JOY IS FAR SUPERIOR TO HAPPINESS

O  OBEDIENCE CAN COMMAND WHAT IT HAS SUBMITTED TO

P  PLEASANTNESS IS AN INWARD CONDITION OF THE HEART
Q  QUIETNESS CREATES OPPORTUNITIES FOR HEALING
R  READINESS IS THE DOOR THAT OPENS OPPORTUNITY
S  STABILITY CALMS AND HOLDS EVERYTHING TOGETHER

Excellent characteristics these virtues
We seek them all of our lives
