Forest throught the Trees..

What are you thinking about ?
That Beautiful tree that survived ice storm 2013
It is a differant tree
Never seen one like it before say most
Days there will be passersby who notice the tree
many a photo it has had
though it is differant it has beauty and worth
Though it is differant than most all seem to be drawn to it
What is it you say ?
No differant than the white beauty whos top is now tipsy turvy
bent off
Not yet broken
Survived but took a beating
Soon that top will die it will never grow any bigger
It will never be the same after the storm
Once it has been broken it never will return as healthy as before.
Its like life each experience changes you
Never returning to the innocence or ignorance perhaps ..

In the heat of this day

In the still times I see you.
In the chaos you are their .
I know the answer.
Most do not care.
He is the I Am.
The one to which we must turn.
He is the answer when all else is a blur.
Seek him in the morning and night.
He is the one turns darkness to light.
It is not a secret do not be dismayed.
He hung on the cross for just this kind of day.
The world is topsie turvy.
The land giving way to man.
Terror in Boston is not part of his plan.
We have a choice..
Look up or fall down..
He is the God man he is always around.
Knock and seek and the door will be open.
Do not believe that you are forgotten.

Doing it afraid

I was scared
I went with Love
To show a sinner none of us is above
I never spoke a word
Truth and confession is what I heard
Sin came out it lost its sting
Truth took the dark
Now turned to light
Failing I helped in the wrong way
Forgive me Lord I failed today
I so needed a friend I hurt the one I meant to defend
I cannot keep this in
My ugly stinking sin
My friend her life is turned upside down
God only you can help this now
I enabled in spite of my intention
God show Mercy and help us accept Grace....

Preparedness

I thought I had prepared for this but it didnt cut the mustard.
My man his heal is broken, he is so flustered.
He the one who I could count on.
Could do most anything.
Stuck in his chair, he cannot do a thing.
Electric lines are down across the yard and driveway.
Car frozen in garage.
I dont know what to say.
I tell him each few minutes, its all part of Gods plan.
As I really feel inside forgotten by my fellow man.
I know that is not true.
They all have much to do.
Not used to this helpless feeling.
My mind and body reeling.

This is the day that the Lord has made..

I will rejoice and be glad in it.
A good nights sleep in my bed.
The electricity on.
Life is so easy and we take so much for granted.
Lord help me to show the fruits of the spirit you have blessed me with.
How much we dont appreciate until it is taken away.
I hope I learn to appreciate the small things in each day.

In the still of the night

The beautiful birch carrying such a heavy load
Bent over and sagging
The sounds of Ice breaking limbs
The crackle of freezing
The candle lights flicker
A car in the ditch
Town is pitch black
Silenced and still
In the peace of dark
At times fear is gripping my heart
Father protect us and help us to rest
You surely are putting our faith to the test...

Healing Rain

Healing the soil the rain that falls.
Now there is ice all comes to a crawl.
Lord help me to trust you and leave myself.
Reliance and promises are what I seek.
There are times that I feel so weak.
Strengthen me Lord with your word.
Help me to cope when not an utterance is heard.
To know in silence you are still here.
I Love you father get me out of here.
Locked inside this head is dread .
Please bring me warmth and rest instead.
Your word brings life and peace.
Its you I need
Help me to knock and ask and seek til i find.
This path is so rough I feel so attacked.
Devil get out you have no place here.
My God is the victor and that is quite clear.
Take my hand Lord lead me to you just for today ,
let it not be me but you !!!!!!!!!!!!!
