Perfection

Show me perfection and I'll show you a lie!

It is within the flaws and cracks
the short comings and all the lacks
that truth is molded sure...
not from that which seems pure,
the key is to endure.

Happy New Year

Message to Evil...

Evil dwells in angry state,

upon the tongue of sharpened hate,
behind the voice of terror sits,
lurking in a heartless pit.
 
It has no soul we can’t deny
without compassion, hollow, dry.
Devoid of love and all things good
Evil is, as evil stood.

Yet though these truths set us apart,
we never see it from the start.
For camouflaged it blends right in,
hiding what dwells deep within.

Until it chooses to unveil
deliberate and without fail,
but evil does not know us well,
it cannot venture where we dwell.

We who choose to be our best,

will never fall from evils test.
Firmly standing, facing fear,
confident that God is near...
and he alone decides our fate.
So evil you shall not dictate!

May all the families of Newtown Ct. affected by this tragedy find strength and comfort in God. They are and shall remain in my prayers.

Giving thanks

The other day I caught myself  thinking about what it truly means to be thankful and I guess this is my take on the matter.

When plates collide and volcanoes boil
as feet burrow deeply into their toil
where oh where do eyes turn?

When waves come crashing miles over head
while heart ever weary flows deeply with dread
where oh where do eyes turn?

When hands meekly toiling have hardened like stone
deep inside pockets as dry as a bone
where oh where do eyes turn?
Seek him and one shall discern;
from trials true blessings we earn.

brighter then lava of volcanic spray
stronger then current in battle of day
sounder than what shall decay
steadfast and without delay...
so cast eyes upon God and pray.

I guess what I am saying is, even in the darkest moment, look up!
for beyond the seconds of trial and the minutes of tribulation, in God lies an eternity of love and peace. So why not thank him now for the blessings that are sure to come later.

questions...

Have you ever heard something that you just had a hard time believing? That happened to me a few days ago and I am still as confused as I am shocked. This really is one to give to God ... may all hearts, souls and beings affected find comfort and guidance from God.

From my heart

As I watch the news about Sandy I keep thinking of the individuals who are homeless; we pray for those who have shelter, homes and family but we forget those who are by choice or circumstance facing the roads of life on their own. It is for them I worry tonight and for them I pray. I hope they know they are not forgotten and that God loves them as he does every one of his children. May they whether this storm in the shelter of Gods' arms and may everyone who faces this challenge find strength through faith. This too shall pass!

Do not fear the tides that rise

for he who sees beyond your eyes
knows what’s on the way
and stands with you this day

The waves may wash away the sand

but if you take his out stretched hand
he'll keep you safe ashore
from now and evermore

Believe beyond the falling rain

the wind that fades and comes again
for he who made it all,
will answer when you call.

Sometimes I catch myself

Sometimes I catch myself, do you?

Much like a stumble without fall

The taunts I do not hear at all
because I make the choice
to listen to my voice.
 
Then there are times I can’t contain
and from that fall I don’t restrain.
That’s when I hear him say;
“No darling, not today.”

The voice, of reason within reason
unending love, through time and season
Keeps me firm and sound,
no matter who’s around.

Yes I am flawed in many ways,
but even in my darkest days,
he seeks and finds me still…
In spite of my free will.

So thank you lord for days like this
when all that comes by shouts and hiss,
you whisper softly so…
“I love you, don’t you know.”
