Patience of the Weaver...





“The Weaver”

The Weaver
weaves a web
In life.
He makes a home
To dwell
And snare.

The weaver sews the thread
Each day..
Seldom does he roam...
for his work is steady
and done with care.

The weaver holds tightly.
Only a lost prey he bemoans
He’s unseen but ready...
Never slothful to prepare…
for the catch
Is coming.
The catch is unsteady.
The catch is not prepared…
This is shared.

In patience he
Quietly goes about the chore…
As evidenced by a prolific trap.
We...as the separated are no less…no more
Using no tracking map
To enter a day
Where demands seem forthright…
But never free.

The patience of God
Carries Him from one web to another…
On a mission of cut…and release.
A long suffering that
Comes as a gift…no works or even please…lest any man
Claim might or right…
Only a claiming in a spirit of…love…
While we wait...
Let us move forward with patience
Given by the Holy Spirit.

..."while the dew is still on the Roses"...




As the hour of his death drew nearer, Jesus went with his disciples to pray in the garden of Gethsemane.

Lest we forget !


 
Memorial Day Prayer...


Soldier, rest! Thy warfare o'er,
Sleep the sleep that knows not breaking,
Dream of battled fields no more.
Days of danger, nights of waking.
-Sir Walter Scott




In the tangle of the fast pace...
and rat race...
of even a day off.
Let us make a celebration of courage...
one marked red, white and blue.
Even only a short moment of reflection
held for those who...
have found freedom’s door
and live no more...
in the shadow of tyranny.
A respite of peace
provided for us fortunate ones
by the deceased brave.
A concave
of all we stand for in America.
A testimony to a fortress of loyal spirit
that allows us choice...
that provides for us a security and sense of pride.
Even that we present ourselves this morning
as believers in the God of all nations...
let us be thankful for those who have preserved ours.
Those for whom flowers
can be laid..
and prayers relayed.
But mostly hearts can be released.

Thanks Be to God
for those men and women of conviction and courage.

Amen and Amen

Happy Mother's Day


A Mother Who Cares....

There is no store made caring
          n0  invention of man
that can
match the love...
of a Mother.

There is no other sharing
            no contention that stands
the test
of the love...
of a Mother.

There is no heart as tearing
            no caressing hand
that holds
as that...
of a loving Mother.

And there simply is no preparing...
            no group that can band
together to
match the package
of  a Mother.

Ours has in truest form
            stepped aside from the norm
and as each child and grown man.
finds no other Mother quite like his own...
and indeed...that is the way God planned it.


For all you have done
            for all that you mean.
For all the true love
            above all we could convey.
We lift you up in honor
            on this OUR....Mother’s...Day.
