Fruitfulness
This daily I pray
That God’s Love in me flows free
So as I go through my day
My Joy in Him others will see
May His Peace cover me in the fray
And may my Patience not flee
May Kindness in me stay
So God’s Goodness I can decree
And always may I display
Faithfulness that’s sturdy as a tree
That I may do His will everyday
And His true disciple ever be
To the One who is the Way
In Meekness I bend my knee
In Self Control I submit and obey
So the Father will be glorified thru me

Seeking Truth
Inner voice
Telling is me
Just what I should do and say
I check God’s word to prove it true
Always
Cinquain
For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it pierces even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow. It is able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
Hebrews 4:12
How To Get to Heaven
It’s really not hard at all
Just listen for God’s call
He supplies the faith you need
Just let go, let Him lead
His Son has made the Way
So follow Him today
In your heart believe
Salvation you’ll receive
Rhyme
…confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus,
and believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead,
thou shalt be saved.
Romans 10:9-10
For Jesus said: “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”
John 14:6
Good Fruit
Jesus wise words
Trees are known by their fruit.
Promote the good
Out of the mouth the heart speaks
Fill your heart with good treasure
Tanka
For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes. A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh. Luke 6:44-45

Blessing of a Gift
Oft’ a gift blesses
Not only the recipient
But also the giver
Senryu
And remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’ Acts 20:35
Last night I was blessed to be given a wonderful surprise gift by my youngest grand-daughter. Her generous heart brought me so much joy!
Yet, she said the giving brought her much joy also. She’s such a sweetheart!
Restoration
Bowed, not broken.
Bruised, but will rise again.
In His mighty strength
And His tender compassion,
He will bring new life to me.
Tanka
(based on Matthew 12:20
A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment to victory.)
King of kings
Come before the King,Who can do anything!
No power is greater than He!
With Him, ALL is possibility!
He delights at your company,
Come bow before Him and see,
The blessings He will bestow,
As Him you come to know.
Eternal King, Father, Friend.
He will be with you til the end.
To our King we do hail,
For His love will never fail.
Rhyme
Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen. 1 Timothy 1:17
Determination
Daisies by the rock
Standing tall and blossoming
Growing in a hard place
Haiku
I think we’ve all heard the saying ” between a rock and a hard place” which is an expression often used when we might be in a difficult place in our lives. We might feel helpless, hopeless, hindered, and wondering if we are ever going to get out of the situation at hand and live well again.
Well, I believe God showed me the answer this morning as my eyes fell upon this big rock on hard ground with two daisies growing right next to it. The daisies are standing tall and blooming beautifully even though they are in hard ground and not really in a place that is most ideal for growth. I doubt anyone purposely planted them there, I imagine it was a happenstance that their seed fell upon that ground, yet with determination and the divine providence of sunshine and rain they grew, and I am imagining that the rock’s presence may have been a beneficial barrier that might have given them some protection from strong winds and rain that could have otherwise beat them down to the ground.
Since I am going thru a hard time in my life right now I feel God showed me this very good lesson. I think all of us can take this to heart and when the winds of adversity blow and we are tossed to and fro, let’s determine to dig in, stand firm, grow, and bloom near the Rock who is our salvation and strength.
Adversity winds
blow, tossing lives to and fro
Stay rooted in faith
Stay rooted in faith
Bloom and grow in the hardest places
Clinging to the Rock
Haiku
Haibun
“The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer;
my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge,
my shield and the horn of my salvation.
He is my stronghold, my refuge and my savior—
from violent people you save me.
2 Samuel 22:2-3 NKJV
