Thanksgiving

Thankful for the morning light,
A shoe to wear,
A coat for warmth,
Thankful for the brisk day air,
To breathe it in,
To breathe it out,
Thankful for the morning meal,
Enough for us to share,
To care, 
Thankful for the new day given,
For work to do,
A place to go,
Thankful for both you and I,
Given here,
From God Above.+      

Faith

So be it,
to us,
as Jesus spoke,
your faith to heal you,
for us to know,  
as we are saved,
our Faith to be,
a gift for now,
to pass along,
our savior Jesus,
keep us strong,
no better gift,
for our heart's song.+

God's Love and Grace

See God’s Love in the Stars of the sky.

See God’s Grace in the Love of the stars.

Hear God’s Love in the Laugher of a Child.

Hear God’s Grace in the love of laughter.

Taste God’s Love in the beauty of Nature.

Taste God’s Grace in the love of beauty.

 

Touch God’s Love in the voice of your soul.

Touch God’s Grace in the love of your Lord.

Smell God’s Love in the Leaves of Autumn.

Smell God’s Grace in the breath of Autumn Air.

 

Love God’s Love for you and for I.

Love God’s Grace for you and for I.

I Think Not

…knowledge inflates with pride, but love builds up.

If anyone supposes he knows something, he does

not yet know as he ought to know.  But if one loves God,

one is known by him. (1 Cor 8:1b-2) I Stop and quiet

myself.  I set aside my thoughts except to know that         

I am loved by God.  This love imparts a knowing

As if to say: “all is well, my peace is my gift to you”.

I ask, is there a higher way of knowing?   I think not.+

Beautiful Christ

Such is today,
Beauty like no other,
It is close,
Beauty, like no other,
Beauty is as close to
me,  as I am to Beauty,
Beauty, like no other,
Christ is as close to me,
as I am to Christ,
Beauty, like no other,  
Beautiful Christ.+

Who is God?

God is my maker.  I am made in his image.  From the
Clay of the earth he fashioned me.   To God I shall

Eventually return.  God too, is inseparable from

His son and his Spirit.   Without God I would not

Be. I am inseparable from God.  God is my teacher.

God is my protector and defender.

God is always present.  God is all knowing.  God is

All seeing.  God is Loving.  God is merciful.

God is Just.   God is outside me and God is inside

Me.  From the depths of my being God’s spirit wells

Up to speak to me in ways I do not understand.  God’s

Spirit seeps into the depths of my being like seed

In the earth.  God cultivates my soul.  God waters my

Soul.  God washes my Soul in the wind. God is my father
and my mother. God is my Friend.   God is all in all. 
To God I will return. + 

 

 

Father

Father in Heaven
I hear your thunder
tonight as your tears
from Heaven wash the land.
“My daddy is home” as a
“River of memories” bring tears
To wash my soul.+
