What was
Once mundane,
Was found, and chosen by
Loving hands, to be a new creation.
Transformed
Completely
By the artist to become His.
A unique work of art
Glorifying
His love

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! 2 Corinthians 5:17
Things
Things lost
Things broken
Things we’ve found
Things of beauty
Things chosen in haste
Things we’ll treasure forever
Things we let go to slip away
Things broken by their use or misuse
Things left behind, forgotten, unwanted
Things dreamed about yet never received
Things dreamed about that we’ve achieved
Things we never wanted but got
Things that rose up like weeds
Things we kept to appease others
Things we threw away
Things we’ve loved
Things we miss
Things lost
Things
Etheree/Reverse Etheree
My mind wasn’t focused on You
Like a leaf in the wind
It swirled and twirled
And got carried away
To wander in places of doubt
Coming to rest on the fence of indecision
Caught in the fear of unknown
Where it began to wither away
Without purpose
Until the force of Your divine breath
Caused it to stir, awaken, and break free
To soar to higher places
And sit in the heavenlies
At Your feet
Soaking in the truth of Your word
Now it’s a mind renewed
To do good works
And walk in Your Spirit on earth
It no longer wanders aimlessly
Blown by winds of uncertainty
For it awaits resurrection
Where it will live forever
On the tree of life.
Free Verse
And when I remember
Myself
Adrift in a sea of sin
Zombie like, drowning
In my own foolishness
No one to help me, nothing to
Grasp on to, I was lost, but then,
God’s Grace
Reached out to me
Amazing Grace
Came to me
Enveloped me, and saved me
Acrostic
“Amazing Grace”–the Song-Verse 1
Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found Was blind, but now I see.

Sometimes when you are trying to fall asleep a million thoughts fill your head and things long forgotten come to mind!
Perhaps that is the answer for us who are trying to remember something we forgot….:)
try to find some sleep and then the memory will surface!

Today as I was walking on my College Campus going to an appointment with my academic counselor, I happened to look down and noticed this, what I thought to be, stalk of wheat. Just laying there on the footpath, all by itself, and not a wheat field in sight. Quite odd, I thought. I picked it up to take home, quite excited because I had never had the chance to have a stalk of wheat before.:) But….then I got to thinking about the parable in Matthew 13:24-30 and I began to wonder if it might be a tare…..Something to consider….and to ponder, why it happened to be right in my path today…..?? Perhaps it’s purpose was only to inspire me to write this poem 🙂
