Of life it could be said Mostly is it about Relationships So until I reach the end Of this, my earthly trip Probably for me That is the truth
Father, mother Sisters, brothers Friends, strangers You will meet or Just pass Along the way Schools, jobs, Sidewalks on Each, every day
But Of all relationships There is THE ONE THE MOST IMPORTANT Of this let me be Oh so adamant And unfortunately Of all others you have Within this lost world It can be The most discordant A broken world’s mind Will fight to destroy Your bonds most Divine
It is the one you have With Your Creator God Your Gracious, Holy Father And His Son, Jesus Christ! Of this, I can be No more exact or certain No more precise
Everything down here On this earth is temporary Of all our God's great truths None of them of this fact Would be the least contrary So take a few moments To think of your relationship With God's eternity And you too may be allowed To enter thru heaven's gates Into Christ's loving infinity!
Today was so beautiful along our River Greenway system. Went out bike riding. The green leaves are just starting to come out. Everything still looks so green and fresh, and our fruit trees are putting out their flowers. I got a shot of a Great Blue Heron looking for fish. They nest every year in one of the trees. There must be at least 12 to 13 nests in this one tree. Love, love this time of year before it gets too hot! Hope you can get out and enjoy your weather wherever you live! Have a God blessed day!!!

Morning Prayer - A Beautiful Day!
Come Lord Jesus
Let’s have a beautiful day!
Keep my eyes focused up
Toward your ever flowing cup
Of Your Purest Joy & Love
Thank you for letting me look above
Toward your beaming, smiling Face
Unending Overwhelming Mercy & Grace
Of this, I desperately need
A very large spoonful’s taste!
Help me stay focused off
The chaotic darkness below
Our wars, pain & greed
Allowing me to clearly perceive
Your Radiant Perfection’s Glow
A different way & place to live
Is what you always wished to give
Eternity’s paradise, those opened gates
To a much better place
And the overwhelming beauty
Found only on your Holy Face!
To Mars?
Our bodies were not made
To live on Mars
Are there not problems enough
To solve on this planet
Revolving as it does amidst
The burning stars?
Curiosity and learning is one thing
But
What about curiosity for eternity, God, Christ,
the destiny that awaits in His Paradise
Drawing nearer to our Creator
This God who leaned so close
Took on our form, our flesh
To withstand our cruelty’s test
Of dying on a bloodied cross
So would not our time be better spent
If to our time and energies we lent
The pursuit, reaching for the reality
of the Universe’s space
And went instead in search
of our Lord Creator’s face?
Psalm 19:1 The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands
Knee Deep
There you are
Knee deep in those waters
Where most sense danger
And then run & scatter
Yet you have wandered outward
Seemingly without a care
All around you life’s flows never cease
But do not be so foolish
As to let all your follies increase
Beware those seemingly
Placid waters for now
Do not upward rise quickly
& underneath them drag you down
God still cries, holds out arms
To bring you home
Back onto a safer ground
Wishes for you to cease to roam
No longer within his voice’s sound
Or out of his love’s caresses
Leave those roaring depths of satan’s dangers
All those lurid temptations hold nothing
but the cunning voice of a stranger
Yield to Christ’s love flowing freely
In His bright blood on a cross
Step out of those cold dark powers
That carry only the pain of sin’s deepest loss
Light is meant to shine
White Light against the darkness
Hope against despair
This world certainly carries a
Heart wrenching load
Of troubles and cares
But us,
We Christians,
Are meant to shine as lights
Of God’s Joy and Holy Might
Meant to carry His Love
Sent from heavenly abodes above
So if you carry Christ’s name
Remember diligently His fame
Speaks of His grace, mercy
And His death’s sacrifice
Which brought down to all mankind
All of heaven’s glorious light
We are meant to carry into
A darkened world’s despairing
Terror and fright!
