Abundant
Blessings in the Lord
Plethora
Opulence
Of grace, love, mercy,
Faith and hope in Christ
Shadorma
And the grace of our Lord was exceedingly abundant, with faith and love which are in Christ Jesus. 1 Timothy 1:14
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 1 Peter 1:3
Worries appear like
Cloud, upon cloud, upon cloud
Threatening your day
Shift the view by looking up
Focus on blue sky above
Tanka
As the clouds move on and pass away, so will your troubles. Therefore, do not worry, but shift your focus to look to God above who is in control of all things.
(While out shopping today I happened to look up at the sky, as I often do because I always enjoy seeing the many different beautiful clouds Oregon has,and seeing this scalloped cloud formation today intrigued me.
As I gazed at it this poem formed in my mind that I felt I should share as it’s always a good reminder to me, as well as others, that we should not worry. )
Whom have I but You?
To help when I’m sad and blue,
To plant a new seed,
To lift me in times of need,
To listen to prayers I plead.
Tanka
(Based on Psalm 73: 25-26)
Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee.
My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.
Thank You Lord, for always bring there for me, to listen, care and help.
My joyful journey
Brings me beside still waters
Trusting my Shepherd
To lead through pastures of green
Peacefully I stroll
Pockets filled with promises
Walking with my King
Over mountains high and wide
And valleys deep and narrow
Choka
(Based on Psalm 23)
Suddenly!
Spur of the moment
All at once
Unexpected
Opportunities abound
Divine Surprises!
Shadorma
You’ve probably seen those signs “Men At Work” around construction zones. Well, lately considering what has been happening in my life I would say I could hang up a sign “God At Work” because of so many blessings, new opportunities and just friendly encounters I am having lately. I am really enjoying it all and giving thanks to God.
I know God is always at work in our lives but much of the time He works in the background and He doesn’t always reveal to us what He’s doing or He allows us to see it at a later time.
But sometimes He brings us unexpected surprising blessings suddenly! And it is so great to experience those!
( The word “suddenly” occurs 40 times in the KJV bible. It’s interesting to read the different things that the Lord did “suddenly” )
A war
Rages roundbout,
Tis tween good and evil.
Saints, are you suited up to fight
The war?
Are you wearing the Armor of God?
Is every piece in place?
Are you standing
For Him?
Butterfly Cinquain
Steady Hope, never wavering.
True to His Word.
Enduring to all generations.
Ardent Hope, always
Dependable, dedicated,
Faithful, firm, fixed.
Abiding hope, long suffering,
Staunch, sure, stable, ever
Trustworthy. This is our God.

This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast,

Fault finding
Until my Advocate’s blood
Washed him away
