Fruitfulness

Posted on by Leonas Lines

fruitfulness, John 15:8 scripture verse
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

Good Fruit

Apple tree 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

Autumn’s Arrival

Posted on by Leonas Lines
Autumn Woman
No spring nor summer beauty hath such grace
As I have seen in one autumnal face.
~John Donne

Autumn arrived yesterday all aglow
Dressed in red, orange, brown and yellow

A pallet of color she held in her hand
and she used it to change the scape of my land.

A bounty of fruit she left in her wake
the abundance of which I could freely take

Color so vibrant brought my senses alive
Autumn! I am so glad you chose to arrive!
