Worrying thoughts creep
Disturbing sleep
Fears rise steep
Calm hard to keep
Doubts start to heap
But faith runs deep
Causing joy to leap
Courage to seep
And victory does reap

Worrying thoughts creep

Waiting
Upon the Lord
Praying, hoping, believing,
All give me strength to begin
Again
Cinquain
Smile at everyone
Believe in yourself
Respect others
Dream a million dreams
Create joy and gladness
Imagine new things
Bless everyone and everything
Faith gives strength
Grace is needed daily
Kindness is always welcomed
Peace is precious
Love is the greatest treasure
Hope is an anchor
Joy is contagious-give some away
Free Verse
I had been wanting to create a place to share my painted rocks with others and also offer the opportunity for others to place and share rocks they paint, so after several months of hoping, dreaming, planning and praying it came to fruition in a wonderful way and today it was completed! I am very happy with how it all turned out and feel blessed that it has already been noticed, used, and admired by many in my neighborhood. I am hoping now that it continues to grow and expand!
Behold, I am coming soon
I hope I find you ready
Might be morning, night or noon
Behold, I am coming soon
Might be at a time inopportune
I hope I find your faith steady
Behold, I am coming soon
I hope I find you ready

Behold, I am coming soon. Blessed is the one who keeps the words of prophecy in this book.” —Jesus (Revelation 22:7 )
At a time when
Gatherings are discouraged
Sparrows meet together
Feasting on food provided
By their Father in heaven
Tanka
Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Matthew 6:26
(Seeing these birds in the parking lot at my local grocery was a great reminder that God will provide during these unstable times and like the birds I should not worry about what I will eat or drink.)
What I’m hearing so unreal!
Things happening so surreal!
So to God I appeal,
Ask Him To reveal,
Just how I should deal,
With this strange ordeal,
And still try to be genteel.
He said “ Don’t let it your faith steal,
Nor let fear loudly peal.
My word is true and real,
And My hand can surely heal.
So don’t live by how things feel
For to Me all things must kneel.“
Rhyme
When clouds of adversity hover
As they someday surely will
Dont give up and run for cover
When clouds of adversity hover
Stand firm and you’ll discover
There’s strength in standing still
When clouds of adversity hover
As they someday surely will
Triolet
When the morn’s nigh
On His strength rely
Seek Him on High
When day’s done
Oh weary one
Seek the Son
Syllabic Verse
Physically on earth
We will lose sometimes.
Yet, Spiritually,
We who are in Christ are winners,
For In Him is victory.
Tanka
Today, on earth, the groundhog didn’t see his shadow so Spring won and Winter lost.
Today on earth, at the Super Bowl, the KC Chiefs won and the San Francisco 49ers lost.
Today, somewhere on earth, someone in the world received Christ as their Lord and Savior and the devil lost.
But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ 1Corinthians 15:57
For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. 1John 5:4
Stepping
Forward covered,
Wearing the shield of faith.
Walking towards eternity,
In Him.
