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.
                     Matthew 26:36

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

The Love of God...

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.

“A Potter’s Place”

Isaiah 64:8 (New International Version)


8 Yet, O LORD, you are our Father. We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand.



Ne're shall we forget the potter and the vine.
Ne're shall we distract from His Glory...

The fields are filling

with the green of Spring.

The trees hold full

with branches worn by winter's ware.

The showers to follow

The flowers to bloom

Not too soon

ForThose

Who mark the early morn

find an ease beyond January...

An opening Summer reborn

from past scattered seed...

All meeting the need

for one seeking a cleansing rain...

a gentle breeze

and the beauty of a single rose.

He is Risen !

Good Friends !

A Time for Quiet...

How Important are Friendships to You?


Perhaps the greatest example of friendship we have in the Bible is David and Jonathan. They made a covenant with one another and throughout their lives protected and loved each other deeply. When Jonathan died, David said “Your love for me was wonderful, more wonderful than that of women.”
They had an intense friendship. An enviable one too. After all, who wouldn’t want a friend that would defend you even in the face of death?

Those Who Care...Send Hope!

The Straight and Narrow...

There are...those who care.
Those who are so willing to help
ones in need.

They send a message of support
And comfort
Accompanied by a continuous
Attitude of duty
And an exemplary propensity to share.

Those Who Care
form the foundation for successful efforts.            
but not by notoriety.

They are the foundation by faith

and not by position.

They hold true to form...

far and above the norm...

but not that you would so easily notice.

Those who care

have no hidden agenda.

Their reason for acting

is consistent with their Maker.

Compassion has no century

nor has it any boundaries.

Yes, there are those who care...
wishing not for the stars..
but for the surrounding clouds.
For you see
help is most needed when
the light is dimmed...
and answers seem galaxies away.
I am so glad you came my way
and I thank God for those......like you
who truly do....care.

A Time for Quiet...

Have you found that quiet place...

I hope you will.

I hope it’s quiet and still.

everybit as real...

as the sun.

Have you spent that special moment.

I hope you do.

With someone who

is among the very few....

who become as one.

Have you held that unique partner

I hope today

And that you’ll say

words that come the way...

Of the heart.

Have you sought the solace of morn

I hope this sunrise.

And that your caring eyes

Will thus surmise...

The canvas of the painter...God.

And then as light comes forth...

A new feeling sets within...

One you yearn to share or send...

Something special...a loving thought.

Happy Special Birthday

An Eastern Welcome...

Hello from downeast!

Inside the Man....Written on the Heart

A Safe Place to Rest...

When it all finds its way south

and doubt
runs rampant through the mind...
i find
a time for quiet.

When it all seems further north
and I'm back and forth
with thoughts of every kind...
i find
a time for quiet.

When it all holds east or west
and my best
still leaves me far behind
i find
a time for quiet.
                                                                           O God

I'm still

Thrill...

me with Your voice...in my heart.

Impart

what I need for this day.

Protect me from evil

and help me stay

within Your Will...

a safe place to rest.
