It is time to reflect on your life.
So you feel you have done a good job of being in control?
Did you ever believe that God had a plan for your life?
 
Were you too busy, too self-absorbed, too important
to listen to God’s whispers in your ear?
 
In comparing time in its length
which do you think is longer
eternity or the length of your own lifespan?
 
Has the thought ever entered your mind
that your Creator is not pleased with you?
 
Do you think today
would be a great day to change your life?
 
Are you ready today
to Let Go and Let God be in charge?

The meal was simple
one of bread, fruits, and vegetables from the field.
The conversation was good-natured
and spirited among the men.
 
He sat among them quietly
with a smile of love upon His gentle face.
These men had been with Him for many months.
They were closer than His brothers of birth.
 
He called to the server for a bowl of water
and a simple cloth to wash His hands.
They stopped speaking and turned to Him.
They knew the time to listen had come.
 
With courage the one closest to Him asked,
“Master, how am I to know the face of evil?”
“The Serpent takes many forms,” said the Master.
 
He placed His hands together
each fingertip touching the other
forming a circle.
 
“Within this circle appears air
and nothing to fear
but I say unto you
the Serpent can take any shape or form
seeminly without consequences of punishment or terror,”
said the Master.
 
“At the beginning of eternity
when my Father make your souls
an awareness of knowing evil.
He rendered to your souls an eternal power against evil.
 
When my inner voice speaks to you
know then
my brothers
evil is next to you.”
 
The Masters’ eyes lifted upward
and cautioned,
“Only by crying out your God’s name
will you be protected from Evil.”
 
Then He lowered His head sadly lamenting,
“To ignore this warning will place you in the hold
of the serpent
and you may become forever lost.
 
So I say to you
your heavenly Master and Father
I love you beyond the value or joys of this world.
 
Keep your faith
and ye shall be with us
in love and light in eternity.”
so He spoke to me,
the Master of my life.

I carved our initials in the Tree of Life.
What value has love in ‘death do us part?’
Is love a flash of light
in the long darkness of night?
 
Flesh to flesh in being born
then death without memory
unable to behold
to recall at will in deep detail.
 
Will thoughts become ashes
that are scattered in a soft wind?
My love to you dearest one
is forever more
upon the Tree of Eternal Life.
 
From the first garden
of eternal promise.
A promise of Love
never lost.
 
Love that is always remembered
in the heart of our Lord
that will never be lost
or forgotten
in the passing of time.

In the dream

I felt I was truly loved.

I did not know who she was.

A nagging thought

said we had known each other

in another time and place.

She was young.

I was also a young man again.

She was beautiful.

 

She kept on kissing me.

They were deep kisses of passion.

I had not felt like that

in a long, long time.

 

It was a gift from my youth.

It was truly

a beautiful dream.

Last night a dream entered my peace.
It was you sobbing.
Crying for what could have been 
but it was not.
 
Outside of your world everything seemed perfect.
To others your world was without want.
It was not.
 
A part of your soul was seeking
but not finding
some special part of understanding.
 
The part that was compassion
of tenderness
that was not in your moment of being.
 
Was there hope to bind this wound
a wound so deep?
My arms reached for you.
 
Held you tight with lips to your ear.
Whispered I love you
I care
I know your pain.
 
I will always be here for you.
You slowly smiled.
Sunshine filled the room.

“Another View of God’s Church”

I have been to many churches in my lifetime.
None can compare to the beauty of my church.
My church lies outside my back door.
 
Before me lies miles of beautiful water
its beauty more clarifying upon a Sunrise morning.
The clouds above this church of God’s home
are higher than any church steeple.
 
There is no wall or ceiling painting to equal
the clouds above my church.
No gilded statue that equals the sun’s glory
as it breaks forth upon the horizon.
 
There is no choir that rises above the sweet sound
of the wind that sings across my ears.
There is no preacher, preaching to me
nor a basket asking for my coin.
No where else can one
be any closer to God.

The Choice is yours.
You can be my friend.
You can be my enemy.
 
Either way
I will be the best there is
to you. 
 
Be a human of spine
Don’t be a liar.
I will respect you.
Regardless of your choice.
 
Just don’t whine
like a dog
and go another way
after committing to another.
 
So which will it be?
Do you want me as an enemy
or a friend?

“All Joys Lead to Him”

 
Life has many lessons to teach us.

Among these is finding the greatest of joys of life. 

When we look to others to bring us that joy

we will always find disappointment with our lives.

The light of true happiness is within our own selves.

It is shared and nurtured by only one Being

and that is our Lord and Savior.

Do not look to your fair weather friends

or those who claim to love you.

They will only bring you sadness and disappointment.

Perfection in Love and Friendship is only found in God.

Seek Him, Love Him, and Worship Him each day  of your life.

In so doing will you finally find

the joys of eternity

that are just before you.

A great power exists with each of us.
It is the power to change our very DNA.
We can restamp our very mind
our hearts
our souls.
 
We no longer have to be our parents.
We can be something
new
different
and more wonderful.
 
Our creator gave us
a wonderful gift
in having free will
we now have the power of creation.
 
In awakening this morning
the question to ask yourself,
“Do you love yourself
as you are today?”
 
Make today
the day
you create the person
you want to be.

Your lips move forming words of love.
They seem to be words without substance.
I tried to believe in the truth of them.
 
I now realize you do not look upon me
as your Knight in shining armor.
Nothing can be sadder than not having love in life.
 
Still I believe in love.
I have seen glimpses of love in my life.
There were moments that such love
touched my life.

I now believe love in its real meaning
will be with my Lord.
 
I now understand
that in spite of all its sham
life teaches us
that love indeed
is a rare thing.
 
It is a gift 
that is given to a few.
