Shine Your Light
Be a flashlight
Shine a light
On darkness
Reveal things
To help guide
Those lost
Be a flashlight
Be ready
Offer help
When needed
Syllabic Verse
This poem was inspired by an incident I had the other day as I was creating art.
I needed to see deep down into a vase I was using, and since my iPhone was in my pocket I remembered it had a built in flashlight option which I could easily flip on to shine light down into the vase and reveal what, if anything, might be inside.
This experience reminded me that I should always be ready to be a light bearer whenever and wherever needed.
Love is Kind
Love is kind, it thinks before speaking
Harsh words that damage tender hearts.
Love speaks kindness with a soft voice
That sooths hurting emotions.
Love has compassion
Love builds up others
Love is giving
Love cares
Love is
Kind

Today is National “Love is Kind” Day.
I think it’s a day we should celebrate every day!

Comfort and Joy
A bit of comfort
Springing up in time of need
Tiny flower of hope
Haiku
Hope springs eternal in the human breast;
Man never Is, but always To be blest.
The soul, uneasy, and confin’d from home,
Rests and expatiates in a life to come.
—Alexander Pope, “An Essay on Man”
Today as I went out to visit my “Inspiration Rock Corner” to place a few new rocks I had painted, I happened to notice a tiny yellow flower blooming right next to the HOPE brick I had painted.
It seemed to match the little yellow flowers I had painted on the brick and I thought it not to be a co-incidence that the tiny flower had chosen that exact spot of all others in the yard to appear in bloom.
“Plant seeds of hope in your heart. Give them plenty of love and attention. Then watch as your beautiful dreams bloom” – Amy Atherton …
A Firm Foundation
Earth’s tickling my feet,
Sensations surround my mind,
Running to escape, I
Keep reaching towards heaven,
Grasping above me,
Looking for a life line,
A hand reaches down,
Lifts me to another level,
Where I stand on solid rock.
Choka
“On Christ, the solid rock, I stand
All other ground is sinking sand…”
from “My Hope Is Built on Nothing Less”, a Christian hymn written by Edward Mote, a pastor at Rehoboth Baptist Church in Horsham, West Sussex. Mote wrote around 100 hymns, this one, which he wrote in 1834, being the best known of his.
Birthday Blessings Bestowed
Special days happen
Because people take time
To make them so
Senryu
I enjoyed a very special birthday today because so many people took the time to make it so for me. My family, friends, neighbors and acquaintances all shared their wishes in some way to make the day great, and for that I am feeling especially grateful and blessed!
Believer’s Mandate
We go out each day
Into a world
We may not favor
See injustice we
We dislike
Yet we go each day
Because we try
Our best to
Make a difference

God’s Hand
Hope, Help, Healing
Are in my God’s palm today
He’s reaching forth to
Bring His hope and help worldwide
And healing to the nations
Tanka
As I was praying this morning for my family, friends, fellow believers, myself, and the nations of people worldwide, tears of sorrow came to me as I prayed against this virus which seems to be covering the world.
I asked that the blood of Jesus might come to cover us instead.
I asked that there be a worldwide revival so people might be drawn to God and come to know Him as His hand is not too short to save anyone anywhere.
As I was praying I had a vision of God’s Hand extended. He was holding out His hand and in His Palm were the words Hope, Help, Healing.
This is what He is offering to all of us today, anywhere we are, worldwide.
If you are looking for Hope, Help, or Healing, He is offering it to you.
Take His Hand and receive what you need. He is a good God who will never leave you, nor forsake you in this time of pandemic or anytime.
He will always be near to bring Hope, Help and Healing to your mind, body and soul night or day.

Flu
Some words we like
Others not so much
These days it’s true
There’s one word
No one wants to hear
“CoronaVirus”
We can’t stop our ears
From hearing it’s sound
Or close our eyes
To block it from sight
But we can focus
Our minds to not dwell
On this dismal word
We can use prayer
To ask for our God’s help
And for His wisdom
And strength at this time
Syllabic Verse
Praying this word is soon no longer part of our vocabulary.
World’s Spinning Wheel
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.“
