Now That’s Pretty!

I hope everyone has a God-blessed day! This video/poem is available also on my youtube channel Susan Guinn at: https://youtu.be/2G_JPJo-rCY

Now That’s Pretty!!

Sunrises are pretty
Flowers,
Oh, their colors 
Can make you
Quite giddy!
Butterflies
Babies smiles
Laughter
Winter’s perfect  seasons
But sadly 
Just physical
Not spiritual
That comes only
From God
Is God

Warmth
Affection
Perfect Love
Shining, streaming
From above
Never leaving
Always present
Always good
Always faithful
Even when I'm not

King of the 2nd, 3rd,
4th chance
Showing in His
Celebratory Graveyard Dance
His Almighty Power
Over satan, death
Resurrecting people
With His every breath

NOW THAT IS
PRETTY!!

Just Starting – Fall’s Colors!!

Here are just a few pictures I was able to get yesterday on our beautiful Greenway system. It’s a paved walkway next to a river here in our city. I live in the south, Middle Tennessee, and the trees, with the right conditions, turn such beautiful colors. It’s only getting started with the first yellows and reds beginning. I hope you enjoy these and your own fall wherever you live. Have a God blessed day!!

Better Than He Left It!!

Savior!!

May God bless your Sunday morning! I pray He would again pour out His Holy Spirit on His beloved world and once more fill it with the same fire as He did on that long ago Pentecost. May God bless and protect your day!!


Better Than What He Left It!

Be you transformed!
Brave even miraculous words
You first century apostle!
By pagan ignorant ears
Were they heard
Yet,
Even though simple, plain
Look how they set a culture
On fire!

Jesus loves you just as you are
True, true
Words from pulpits heard very often today
But
In a darkened, sin-filled condition
Never did He mean to let you stay!!

Always, always better He wants
For you
To be changed, renewed
He wants to leave you better
Than what He found you
So, go, sin no more
Let your eternal spirit soar
And
Through a Holy Spirit's Pentecostal fire
Reach ever so much higher
Leave the world a little better
Than what you found it!!!

Dry Season

Dry Season

Everyone goes through
A Dry Season
Feeling without a reason
Getting drier, drier
Stress, sorrow, pain
Roaring, growing
Higher, higher

Emotions, the body
Like dry, dead leaves
Dry, dead limbs
Will this dry season
Ever, ever end?
In the middle of the dark
No answer comes
Perhaps in this 
Season only is
Found true faith
In Heaven’s Only Son

In the middle of shallow waters
Full of only sludge
Life’s sharp, hard rocks
Oh, for a moment
Please, my next words
Do not me begrudge

Reach up for Christ!!

Always is found His glorious light
In the middle of our darkest,
Most wicked earthly fight
He will provide always
Sunlit, crystal shining waters
His provisions reach deeper
Every heartbeat
Exceeding all other worldly offers

You will bloom again
Christ will help you
Grow in faith through this
Dry season
No matter, the pain, 
The strong wind blowing
This dry breeze in
Never will He leave you,
Never will He forsake you
God’s love is still there
Heaven still deeply, deeply cares!

Southern Charms

My husband and I got to get out of the house today and walk along our city’s greenway system. The sun was bright, the humidity nice and low as we moved along the river’s edge. We got to enjoy even some of our animal friends. They seemed to enjoy the weather as much as we did. Hope you enjoy the pictures and verse. Have a God-blessed day!!!

Southern Charms

I do declare,
walking in these southern airs
Nature's Southern Charms
most certainly at times
can one completely, totally disarm

I gain delight
at only one sight
of this time of year
Joyful indulgence
Joy for the eye
Yes, even for the ear

Now at fall's cusp
as summer exerts
it's last warmer thrusts
Get out
Enjoy nature's treasures
Store within the heart
Each large and smaller
of all its bountiful pleasures!!
