(Our Living God)

Great Northern fronts
Can be quite blunt
Blowing back and forth
With a kick, pass punt
–
Shock waves that sound
The chiming windmill
Which cannot behave
Then become still
–
With tears on my face
I tend to the mill
But I have fulfillment
In this long winters’ chill
–
Trusting in God
The key to my strength
Endurance, resilience
To go the length
–
Soft winter cloths
Caress nightly with salve
For this cracked deepened smile
At the frozen improv
–
Crisp sunny days
Leading love to the verse
Settling yesterdays’ bout
With the cold winters burst

Peaceful Prism

January 23, 2022

Windows glisten as they frost
I’m looking out at sparkling hues
Blue and yellow sun shines through
Fellow shades for warmer views
–
Geometric prisms serve
In patterns, turn kaleidoscopes
Eyes are rolling in an arc
Painting pretty isotopes
–
Beyond the specs of yesteryear
Tears still glow, and move on by
God, who stores them in the sky
Comforts with a lullaby
–
Soft and sweet, the tender beams
Filling longing souls with glee
Melting frozen hearts with ease
Holy Spirit heals and frees
–
Christ, who sprung the whole world wide
Bids us come without a fight
Holds our hand; and all is right
Wraps us in His bosom light
–
As we rise above each plight
Grow in His wisdom, strength and sight
His victory grins from ear to ear
His song with muffs so soft and bright

Diamond Mining

January 22, 2022

Once my heart was overwrought

With stress and sought relief

The vise grip of the carbon fields

Gave utterance to my grief

–

I had to face the truth of truths

If only to myself

So I sat awhile in silence

To rest upon a shelf

–

A diamond tributary

Lay pressured and held down

As God, our loving lapidary

Designed a precious crown

–

In His timing, He beheld

By furnace hot and stoked

Shaped and crafted, then upwelled

The elegance, uncloaked

–

Seasoned in the facets

The strongest diamond mold

Now visible to the naked eye

For God reveals His own

Lessons

January 18, 2022

Time, it cannot melt the truth
Or wax itself unkind
I felt the pain, yet don’t regret
The love it left behind
–
The long long road
Built up in strength
Where God’s sweet mercy
Sowed in length
–
With needles hidden
Bound all wounds
Stopped the bleeding
Healed the pain
–
A place where all one’s pride
Must die
Where pity pays no mind to mix
Stupefying fights … all fixed
–
Where eye for eye and tooth for tooth
Give way for selfless mercies truth
One of loves greatest lessons
To be learned
–
On the cross
The work is done
The victory in Christ
Already won

A Prayer for the New Year

January 1, 2022

Wishing all my family and friends a Happy New year.

–

My prayer is that you will know how really beautiful you are; because God made you and fashioned you in His own Image.

You are precious in His sight. Your gifts, each one, equally as valuable, yet as different as all the many colors of the rainbow.

May His love shine on you, in you and through you, like a prism shining bright

–

When tough times come, and they do; we pray for each other in the Lords strength and protection. In your hope and waiting, fret not and trust in Him. Never give up and hang on. He’ll make a way; His time. Payday is coming. You have the victory!

–

We know that God will see us through all the seasons of our lives. After all that He has brought us though; we have become much wiser and stronger. After being seasoned in His wisdom and instruction; we are even more beautiful.

Jesus is the reason, for our bright future.

–

We can have complete confidence because we have Him and we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. Great and wonderful things, are in store for those who follow the Lord.

–

“For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord.

Plans to prosper you and not to harm you.

But to give you a future and a hope.”

Jeremiah 11-9

–

“Have not I Commanded Thee

Be strong and of good courage;

Be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed;

For the Lord Thy God is with thee

Wither so ever thou goest”

Joshua 1-9

–

All the Love, Joy, peace and Happiness that Jesus brings; be with you friend in the coming year and always

You are so loved by our great and mighty God. His name is Jesus Christ
