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!!

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!!!

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!!

But, it is Personal


But it is Personal!

Up close
Eyeball to eyeball
Face to face
Chest to chest
Breath to breath
Until the second
Of your physical death
How close your God is

From the moment
Of our conception
Until at the foot
Of His throne
Our final destination
God wants and is
Close
So very , very close
Do not harden your
Heart
Like a rebellious 
Lost world
Spiritually almost
Comatose

God wants to be
Intimate with you
Every beat of your
Heart is personal 
To Him
Desiring for
All eternity
Your soul
To win
So let Him in

Let God the Father
Christ the Son
God the Holy Spirit
Be Personal with you
Your heart 
Your very soul
Recreate
Refresh and
Renew!!

Saying Good-Bye!

This morning for the first time in a long time I was able to ride my bike on our river’s greenway system. Bunches of yellow wildflowers were everywhere because of all the nice rain we’ve had this summer. Some of their clusters were as tall as me (although I’m not that tall). However, things are starting to wither a little in August’s dryer days. Even the river is lower and more shallow with a little bit more algae on its surfaces. Below is a poem that came to mind as I rode.

Saying Good-Bye

Oh, my dear,
For me do not cry
Although for now
I may appear within
Your eyes to wither and
To die

During winter’s coldest blisses
It’s bleak winds trembling
Kisses
I may fleetingly disappear
But remember, 

Next spring 
For me will be found
A completely new start
So during winter’s dreariest day
My glory you may find
Held in the recesses
Love and warmth
Captive and living within your heart!
