In a STORM
Sea of life raging
Tidal waves rising,
Over and around me;
Remembering Jesus, my Savior,
My friend and shield will never abandon me.
PRESSING FORWARD
Pray in the morning and in the quiet interludes of the day;
Release to God all your cares and your worries along the way.
Enter and remain in God’s holy presence
Surrounded by his unchanging love and
Saturated with his all amazing grace.
Internal struggles that only he understands,
Now alleviated by his unseen yet compassionate hand.
Goodness and mercies, he has kept in store
Filter softly down in a warm sunlit shower.
Open heart and open mind to hear his word
Remembering he is God: Jesus is Savior and Lord
Who abides in you and promises to forever stay.
Advance and step now into the unknown future of this day
Remembering and trusting in him as you go;
Doubting never that God is everlastingly faithful.
Proverbs 3:5-6 (Holy Bible English Standard Version):
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean
on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge
him and he will make straight your paths.”
Freku: CHRISTMASTIME
Christians near and far
Herald the birth of our Lord;
Remembering the singing angels,
Immanuel laying in a manger;
Starry, most holy night.
Traveling wise men also came
Many miles beneath the guiding star
Across the desert mountains and the plains;
Seeing at last this most holy sight.
Tending shepherds watched
In reverent wonder and awe,
Mary and Joseph quieting kneeling;
Eternal king and savior peacefully sleeping
while bringing us his goodness and light.
Remembering the
Savior’s birth who brought us hope
and peace here on earth.
Merry Christmas to all!!
QUIET JOY
Quivers and qualms of earthly life recede
Under heaven’s high vaulting canopy.
Instilled peace into the mind and heart
(which the Savior does impart).
Edging deeply into a once disquieting soul
Tender sweet grace and how so merciful!
Jesus ever present, ever near:
Oh! For a hushed interlude in which to hear.
Yearnings of the past and unfilled dreams
Satisfied in faithful hope and belief.
Why should my Heart be full of Cheer?
As I gazed at a fluorescent blue sky
Where no stormy clouds appeared
And the orbed sun had journeyed high.
Twas a silent blustery wind but dry
And no wafting sounds could I hear
As I gazed at the fluorescent blue sky.
No birds to witness nor bee or fly;
Also, no ominous foreboding to fear
And the orbed sun had journeyed high.
I then began to wonder why
My heart should be full of cheer
As I gazed at a fluorescent blue sky.
While my eyes upward climbed
Into that lofty, arid atmosphere
And the orbed sun had journeyed high.
I continued to contemplate why
My heart should be full of cheer
As I gazed at the fluorescent blue sky.
This day was bitter cold and dry
As expected this wintry time of year
And the orbed sun had journeyed high.
Draped in the cold sunlight
I stood on the land, frozen and bare,
As I gazed at the fluorescent blue sky.
Banks of snow, gleaming white
Still remain here and there
As the orbed sun had journeyed high.
I pondered and wondered why
My heart should be full cheer
As I gazed at the fluorescent blue sky.
A cold chill crept up my spine
Thanks to the frigid weather
And the orbed sun had journeyed high.
With a start, I suddenly knew why
My heart should be full of cheer
As I gazed at the fluorescent blue sky:
I realized my Lord and Savior is why
for he promises to always stay near
As I gazed and gazed at the fluorescent blue sky
And the orbed glowing sun had journeyed high.
FOCUSED HEART
Futuristic and hopeful vision
Of our eternal home in heaven.
Centered life upon our savior Jesus;
Unselifishly, he died to save us.
Seeds of new life and peace from above
Entered and sprinkled our inner souls with love.
Delivered and planted by our Lord.
Harvested in faith by believing His Word.
Every day we can pray, worship, and celebrate
At the amazing glory of his saving grace.
Rescued and redeemed to live with him forever
Today, tomorrow, and ever after.
The Christmas Tree
Although late, I still want to share a new Christmas poem. I hope everyone who is reading this has had a wonderful and blessed Christmas:
Carefully placed and standing where all can see
Heralding angel poised above the pine needle green.
Rows of colorful lights brighten the scene
Infused and trimmed by love unseen.
Stars, snowflakes, and bulbs adorn the limbs
Trustfully reminding us of him and the
Manger scene where he was born;
Arriving long ago on Christmas morn.
Shepherds heard and flocked to see the sight;
Taught by angels who appeared in a great light.
Remembering and honoring many years later
Eventual arrival of the Lord Jesus, our Savior;
Everlasting King who will rule forever and ever.
SIMPLY TRUST
Steadfast and sincere belief
In Almighty God and his Son Jesus.
Mindful and obedient to His true and holy word;
Personally accepting Jesus as Savior and Lord.
Living each day in joyfulness and not sorrow;
Yesterday’s tears washed away by hope for tomorrow.
Tenderness and kindness shown to everyone I see;
Remembering God’s never ending love shown to me.
Unwavering faith in the goal of reaching heaven.
Serving gladly and sharing about Him.
Teachable soul continuing to depend on Jesus
by praying and being led daily by his Holy Spirit.
Ode to Jesus my Savior on this New Day
Ode to Jesus my Savior on this bright new day,
A new morning of hope beneath a glorious sun.
While earth is gently touched by its’ gleaming rays
As a sign that God desires to kindly bless everyone.
For beneath the rising sun’s fair brilliance and warmth,
We can reach out to grasp and hold onto everlasting hope.
As when we’re kept warm in a frigid winter near a fireside hearth,
We live in peace and safety under the eyes of God’s watchful scope.
Because within the Lord’s provision, his loving plan,
He devised the only way to perfectly save
The sinful and often hurting man
Through his own Son Jesus whose life on the cross he gave.
Now with the unquenchable hope of a never ending tomorrow,
We can live today free of pain, oppressing fear, and lasting sorrow.
