Premium Member Spreading Happiness

SPREADING HAPPINESS

Sharing is form of kindness, spreads Happiness.
People, usually surprised to receive. 
Readily appreciate, happy, and to be truthful,
Even more appreciated when we are the recipient! 
Always reminds us there is so much more, we certainly should
Do, can imitate the givers kindness. We can
Imitate their unselfishness. Experience truth of,  “more happiness in giving.”
Never, under estimate happiness of just being greeted with a,
"Good morning and how are you?"  Wow! Made them … smile.

Happiness comes from outside circumstances, people, stuff, etc.
And as said, gives unexpected Happiness.
Personally I value Joy, and I
Prefer it over Happiness. Joy springs from
Inside me! Independent on any outside influences, nice or not.
No one, nothing can rob me of my Joy, only me.
Easy to get caught up in daily survival, but Dear friend,
Someone’ somewhere is lonely, grieving, remember how that feels?
Send someone a card, text, or call.  Make someone happy … and God smile.

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.

Premium Member -Treasure

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!

Premium Member Heavenly Adventure

At conception, the point of his earthly beginning inside his mother's womb, there was a light, the likes of which he had not seen until now at the point of his death.  He shared with me that he had lived 85 years on earth until his demise two months ago. As he thought upon the light, he remembered that the light was not as bright as the light at his conception.  That is to say, he believes when he really dies, there will be an identical light like the one he saw when he was being conceived.  

I was privileged to listen and record his most remarkable story of how he died, went to heaven, and returned to tell his story. His sojourn there was a total of some 60 seconds.  But if a thousand years is one day*, we are talking a heavenly timeframe of far more than 60 seconds.  A brief estimate and some calculations explain why he tells me that he was in heaven long enough to visit a number of deceased loved ones, friends, and Biblical characters. For example, he met the young boy who provided the bread and fish Jesus used to feed 5,000 people.  He had always been overwhelmed with the unselfishness displayed by the young lad and his willingness to be a tool for Christ in the performance of one of the world's greatest miracles.  The lad never sought recognition.

He told me about a grandfather from four generations back whose name his family was never able to produce.  He had suspected it to be a Bible name because his great grandfather's name was Daniel.  He was right because he met him in heaven, and his name was Jeremiah.  He was so happy as he told me about the family members he met.  There were so many people to meet and so much beauty surrounding the entire scenery.  He wanted to stay, but the angel informed him that God simply wanted to give him a taste of his future.  For now, it was not his time, because his earthly mission and purpose were not completed.
                                                                  
So now, at 85, he's anticipating that exit light which will be there in all its splendor at his demise, he is content to live until his mission is completed.

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

Premium Member Tolerance

Nationalities, cultures, customs
All peoples of our planet Earth
Liberals, Conservatives, Independents
This is my take for what it's worth

Tolerance, sensitivity, understanding
Of other ideas and concepts
Tenderness, kindness, gentleness
Such admirable qualities to be kept

Passionate, Patient, Peacefulness
All belong to nature's creed
Generous, honourable, unselfishness
A hand up to someone in need

Farsightedness, courtesy, flexibility
The die is cast when we're born
Innovator, inventor, pioneer
A leader so passionate so warm

Excellent characteristics these virtues
We seek them all of our lives
A balance derived from honour
The pinnacle for which we strive

Hermine

Hermine
Her heart filled with love, courageous and strong, America bound, her homeland long gone
Every beat of her heart was for someone she loved, selflessly giving from daybreak until dawn
Remembering the past keeps her life in full view, glimpses of Germany to the grandchild smile 
Married a lifetime, committed she stands, her family branches out across this great land
I look up to my mother for her strength and courage, her gentleness and unselfishness, her loyalty and commitment. 
Not once did she ever stop loving family, her love was always unconditionally.
Every time I look in the mirror I see her image and a smile comes across my face.

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!
