MY SILENT VOICE ...



I have no voice..
My voice is still..
Though truth speaks..
My words  are not audible ..
My mouth,  it moves,
but no sound is heard ..
You won't listen,
You turned away ..
I try to talk,
I try to reason..
You closed the door
You still won't listen..
My voice is silent..
I'm like a mime ..
My words are dormant ..
You will not listen..
You do not hear me..
I walk away ..
My voice is silent..

My thought of the day.. WWJD?



Seriously .. WWJD?
I read everyday the travesties of humanity,
while we sit in comfort ..
Full bellies.. Never going to bed hungry,
unless we are dieting trying to get rid
of the extra weight we have put on due to
the food we have gorged ourselves
with, because of  over eating and gluttony..
Our homes, big or small .. We have a roof
over our heads, shelters from the elements of
the weather..  Heated, air conditioned from
the extreme cold or heat from the seasons
that come and go.
We are blessed with families who love us.
Most would do anything for us in
rough times that may besiege us from time to
time..
I say all this because I see heartlessness.
I see people turning on those much less fortunate than us.. For what reason?  Seriously, WWJD?
Many say it is out of what they call "righteous indignation"..
Seriously, "WHAT WOULD JESUS DO?"
Truly we are in the last days.. Scripture teaches
To give to the poor, love our neighbors,
Not to judge others.. Wars and rumors of war.
Yet we yell obscenities to those who need our
help and shout our rights are being trampled..
Seriously, "WWJD"?
So I sit and cry for those much less fortunate than myself.
Yes, I shall pray that those who shout the loudest,
hate with vengeance, instead of reaching out to
those whose hearts are broken as well as  their spirits ..
Yes.. I pray for you my Christian friend.. You should know better.
After all,  "WHAT WOULD JESUS DO?"
Reach out and let God do the rest..

TODAY .....



Today I hear the
music of my heart..
I hear the fulfillment
of lasting love..
I hear a distant
memory from the
rapture of a thought..
Peaceful, silent chords
that carry me away..
Today I see a rhapsody
in the earth and sky..
The soft gentle sound of
birds sweet song..
The flower as it opens
Itself to live, to its beauty..
Today I feel the touch
of a warm summers breeze ..
Gently carries with it,
 the scent of blissful content..
Today I am surrounded
by life and every living,
breathing, sight and
sound that restores
my blessed, thankful soul ..
I bow my head in silence,
with gratitude..

THE ELOQUENCE OF A SUMMERS EVE



The warmth lingers from the long summers day..
The still fragrant air permeates from
each flower bouquet..

The summer day succumbs to a warm evening with soft gentle light..
Long  fingerling shadows drift silently, blissfully into the  night..

Perpetual tender thoughts
rule in this lasting night air..
Those graceful  sweet images float effortlessly,
Without  sorrow, without care ..


In this brief moment of  stillness there is an eloquence to this sensuous evening..
Life's bitterness is now but a faded memory...
It is replaced by the beauty that surrounds, as it envelops me..

Simple serenity coupled
with  the sweetness of its
grace and light..
I quietly gaze into
the last evening rays
 of this eloquent summers
night   ...

DO NOT HATE...( my thought of the day)...

DO NOT HATE..
(My thought of the day.)...

I am so sad and dismayed..
Saddened by foul, wretched,
vile hatred ..
They say they have rights to
say what they have to say..
They say they believe in their
"Righteous Indignation" and
use God as their shield of truth..
Well my friend.. I have to ask..
What God do you serve?
Jesus spoke very plainly
of two commandments,
in fact, are the summation of the
Ten Commandments ..
To love God and to Love
You neighbor...
(Mark 12:30-31New International Version (NIV)
30 "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’[a] 31 The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[b] There is no commandment greater than these.”
Footnotes:
Mark 12:30 Deut. 6:4,5
Mark 12:31 Lev. 19:18)
I do not see these commandments in their words,
their actions, or their demeanor..
So instead of condemning them ..
I'll pray for them and ask the Holy Spirit
to convict their souls ..

CHANCE MEETING ? (Thought of the day)...

My thought for today ...

I was biking through a park the other day
and ran into a old friend ..
It was clear she had been through a lot
and had seen better days..
In fact, the last time I saw her were in the days
of her youth and she was radiant then and
the innocence of youth was hers as it is
with all of us in those tender years.
She shared boldly that she struggled with
an addiction that had ravaged and stole from her
the beauty that she once had.
Seeing her tore at my spirit and troubled
my soul so deeply..
I hugged her and wished her well after talking
and catching up with her. She had  asked about my
family and I had asked about hers. We shared and
exchanged hind sights and questionable futures.
As I departed, I pleaded that she please take
care of herself.
It wasn't an accident I ran into her.
No, I believe it was one of those times God
put us together to remind me how fragile life is and
there are many friends that require more than just a
chance meeting in a crowded park.
Today my old friend lays fighting for her life
in a hospital.  What was to be a simple surgical
procedure turned into a hellish ongoing nightmare
that may ultimately take her..
Chance meeting? No,  I ran into to my old friend
that day to remind her and I both what brought us
together many years ago in the first place.
You see I used to be her Sunday School teacher..
We were both reminded how precious our God
Is and how we both are reaching to be close to
Him again..
Today I am reminded of a sovereign, loving,powerful
God, who gave me the opportunity to see an old friend..
Chance meeting ?  I think not..

DREAM...

DREAM...

Close your eyes and
dream..
Dream deeply until tomorrow..
Dream of fairies that
throw their
 stardust that
scatter opulence
and grandeur ..
Dream of clouds
that carry you
far above the moon
into the stars..
Dream of where the
angels fly
where no one else
but you can see..
May they whisper
to you their song
 of love and hope ..
May your dreams
give you love, kindness
and strength..
Enough to bring back,
to always share with all
who are weak and
need your wondrous
touch ..
