We are guilty and helpless in our own sinful plight,
But God loves and saved us from the fall.
He sent His Son into a world of night,
Not to condemn, but rescue one and all.
That through Him - Prince of Peace - we might be saved,
And boldly come before the throne of grace.
No longer lost, no longer sin-enslaved,
Clothed in His righteousness, we take our place.
Because we have been pardoned, we now boldly stand,
With petitions we ask of, heard and known.
A royal priesthood, commissioned by His own hand,
A holy nation, proclaimed as His own.
We remain in Him, our hearts renewed thus -
And His living Word remains in us.

"You may now not serve this country
Though you may be fit and kind
I tell you this quite bluntly
I will suppress your kind
Petitions and the public
Shall never hassle my laws;
Amist a starving republic
They believe me
When I tell them you are the flaws
For I've convince them all the bathrooms
Are threatening where you lurk
I've convinced them all your schools
Are full of your witching work
So drink up; sweet deceit tastes good
I shall convince them you are a crime
My plan has made it thus far
And continues
One sip at a time."

"Because of our God’s tender mercy
the dawn will break upon us from on high
to give light to those who sit in darkness..."
Luke 1:77-79
When morning breaks in upon my bed
banishing fear and dismissing dread,
its welcome thoughts stir this sleepy head
to speak and move trusting God instead.
Summoning strength that daybreak supplies,
visions of adventure fill my eyes.
Hope-filled words cheer me, "Look to the skies!"
and I give thanks to God as I rise.
You've heard petitions I pray each night;
my Savior, You've dawned with strength and light.
I love you Lord with mind, heart and might
and trust you, God, for today's insight.

I am
Aphrodite...
yielded from sea lather
and reached the shores of Cyprus on
a scallop's shell, symbol
of womanhood
and birth
I am
Aphrodite...
Homer sourced me as a
girl by Zeus and sea nymph, Dione,
and aphrodisiac
had influenced
my name
I am
Aphrodite...
a cause and effect for
incessant eyes aroused crusade
facing our guarded Mount
Olympus high
above
I am
Aphrodite...
unceasing prayers heard
by mere boldness and a taste test
from each sweeten apple
will direct me
to you
I am
Aphrodite...
petitions in the air
float endlessly, plucked graciously
by ivory doves to
be delivered
to me
I am
Aphrodite...
where I will recognize
you daily upon your first glance
into some looking-glass
beholding my
essence
I am
Aphrodite...
Olympian goddess
of love, beauty, procreation
also, satisfaction,
your every need
answered.

My child, a whole day can be quite obstruse
as the trail of moonglow begins to set
lonesome hours could bring you to a realm, with dreamy tales one can never forget.
Though night-moon glimmers in the woods,
every leaf tumbles softly with the winds' howl
where petitions drift along pensive swings of lunar grace, of solace deafening:
Still , be joyful when dawnfall breaks;
sunlight bathes the warm breeze a dazzle, a razzle , a quiver on verdant grass
beguiling every woman and child sweet promise of morn ... and when toil ends , hold that joy in your palm--
for skies bestow peace from grateful hearts.
These keepers-- sun- moon-- become life's harbingers of joy and angst,
until the ticking hours greet near dusk again with an intent wish,
My dear one, it's a prayer of contentment... all these variations rolling , flowing in
just one day.

Delighting in our godly honour and dignity
Desiring our good honesty as well as devotion

If things have not worked out for you in 2023, 2024 will be the same if you don't change. God has placed within your hands, this year a possibility to start the change. If you don't agree, that's okay, just continue doing the same thing this year and see what will happen next year, if you are still alive. Within us individually it maybe impossible, but with God all things are possible and through Him, 'I AM POSSIBLE'!
Man (or woman) may criticized, but God will lift you up and approve.
FEAR is Fault Evidence Appearing Real
FAITH with action is Favor As I Trust Him (God).
Yes, there are things that come to make us afraid, however there are Faith in God that make us Favor with Him and man (or woman).
This year, say to yourselves; "...this is the confidence that we have in Him, IF we asked anything according to His will, He hear us, and IF we know that He hear us, WE HAVE THE PETITIONS THAT WE DESIRE OF HIM (and I personally believe that it is through Christ Jesus, the birthday we recently celebrated)."

A sign for our times, Dina abducted and raped (See Gen. 34: 1-2)
by a monster named Shekhem, a Hivvite
When her brothers heard
their anger blazed whiter than white
"Such a vile act in Israel is just not done" (Gen. 34:7)
by those who know right from wrong ...
Feel the ardor and the passion of those who are young
oft-contested by their elders with beards so long
Simon and Levi, young sons of Jacob
did not 'sign petitions' or 'form committees'
Within a week they slew 3,000 Hivvite males (all the males...
for whom they showed no misplaced pity ...supported Shekhem)

Down through the ages, this story is told and retold

She would lift them to the Father
And peace like showers rained.
She would serve a cup of water
And lovingkindness sang refrains.
Her hands would summon Heaven
And our Lord would heed her pleas.
Her heart was free of leaven
As she tarried on her knees.
How many lives and hearts
Were saved by Mother’s hands?
We see fragments, little parts;
The whole God understands.
Though small and weathered be;
Her hands were great and mighty!
Not for what they held you see,
But the petitions raised for thee!
Hands that fed us and corrected
They taught us to “believe!”
Oh the crowns, when resurrected
That her hands there did receive.
God knew and knows her hands.
He held and holds them tight
While He gestures to His lambs,
Come join us in the Light.

To the measure you seek, you find
And reaping comes after you sow.
From the depths of humility known,
Then to exaltation flown.
To the measure you give, it is given
And love fully granted, is earned.
From self to selflessness learned:
Then spectacular blessings return.
To the measure you knock, it is opened
And if you keep asking, it’s granted.
When faith as a seed is planted
Then the work of the devil, supplanted.
To the measure you pray, He moves
And petitions lifted, He hears.
From mountains far to valleys near,
Earnest prayers bend His ear.
To the measure you weep, you’ll rejoice
If a broken heart you surrender
Joy unspeakable will be rendered
And hope finds spectacular splendor.
To the measure you never stop seeking
And you weary the Lord with your pleas
So God’s provisions will flow with ease
And your longings, forever appeased.
To the measure you believe that He IS…
And that He rewards all who seek after
New blessings from floor to the rafters
Will endure in your life everlasting.

A peerless purveyor
pared pears on a pier.
Pierre, his au pair,
peered on, it appears.
Not payers, both players
prayed pious petitions;
For the nonce, no pence brought,
naught came to fruition.

Donna is at the door.
We think of her as the petition lady.
She brings them over at a fast pace.
Always angry about something or somebody.
Donna’s dementia has taken over her life.
She is 96 years young.
It is easier to sign the petitions than to say no.
No means she is coming in to convince us.
This week I have signed a petition…
To keep aliens on the Mars.
To take our government back from terrorists.
To make an AK-47 bullet cost ten thousand dollars.
Maybe her best petition yet.
