Alphabet Soup Garden Varieties

I was watching a National Geographic show
called Photographer
and it really inspired me to be more creative
in beautiful ways my mind enjoys
but it also sparked the holy spirit in me
and got me thinking about all kinds of things
the last episode was of a photo journalist
that was capturing images in war zones
of the people, the people...
little frightened girls clinging to hope
boys trying to just be children playing
mothers struggling to stay alive
in unthinkable uncertainty surrounding them daily
I am sure there are countless refugees
in camps around the world that all want better
so much war so much loss so much chaos
so much terror we are fortunate not to know
this photographer and his wife started an organization
to help refugees in need and I am touched deeply
we sometimes forget how fortunate we really are
that the Lord has blessed us with simple things
like clean food air water and a place to sleep
what do we really need that He has not given us?

Father in the name of your Son Jesus Christ,
might we stay humble meek modest and loving
might we remember to be thankful for the little things
our "first world problems" come from a place of vanity
we all have sick children, ill loved ones, and struggles
what are ours in comparison to that kind of desperation
sometimes I think many of us take for granted
the kinds of lives we have been able to lead
teach us to be more generous and kind
Amen.
 
May our Father in the name of His Son Jesus Christ continue to bless us all, and this site :)
Thank you for all you do Cosia; you are an inspiration to many along with everyone working behind the scenes.


Ive always wondered about angels
where they are where they go what they do
so many questions so few answers
do they fly around with wings
or have we entertained them
can they walk through walls
like the one that set Peter free
from the jail cell he was in
then simply disappear
what majestic holy creatures
they were made to be
Im sure they are beautiful
and peaceful things
I hope they are watching
and fighting battles
I know nothing about
cause sometimes
I think I can feel them
just knowing they exist...
 
Thank you thenami what a beautiful post. I too, pray the LORD will protect this site, and every single member.

I agree about the angels, and their wonderful duties they have. Would any of us know if we had been visited by one of God's angels. Sometimes I have wondered.
God Bless

Good morning, thenami;

We also watch a lot of National Geographic. I saw the previews for Photographer and have to watch it at the scheduled time in our area.

I like how you take this show and bring in the Father, what He already sees and knows and what He's going to do.

God bless you, thenami.
 
our Fathers love is bright like the shinning Son
there is no wickedness in Him for he is kindness
He is holy and shall preserve our souls in the heavens
may we rejoice always as a forgiven servants
glorious are all the things He prepares for us all
might we remain cheerful and happy children

may we try not to cleanse our hearts in vain
for our sins are washed clean with daily forgiveness
but in the flesh of our bodies we continue to transgress
for the day is long and we may be plagued by evils hand
might we remain steadfast in our faith and strength
with the Lords words as a kindling light in this darkness

amen
 
to wish I had fear
less courage and less strength
the lack of empathy and understanding
an inability of self expression
would still never bring me

back an innocence

I crave like plants need rain
and I feel that emptiness
to know I welcome death
for heaven will be
a reunion long lost friends

and I cry for myself

cause I cant remember
what it is like to know
many things others do
as I sit here unaware
of my true numbness

to turn off and shut out

anything I find offensive
to recluse away
with a semblance of knowledge
of how maybe early Christians felt
about the world around them

and I pray...
 
I enjoy connecting with my hearts love
that fundamental wisdom within me,
to let go and see the world from above
and cultivate genuine strength I see,

with insight good principals to uphold
I may uncloak mysteries found inside,
no uncertainties to resolve untold
just an openness to take this life's ride,

transformations do always take some time
when I understand my hearts desire,
there are some universal truths that chime
like musical thoughts now set on fire,

we want what we want and love what we wish
happiness is always a special dish :)
 
tests and more tests
still no accurate diagnosis
only symptoms which remain
or too dangerous solutions
no one wishes to attempt
I try to remind the nay sayers
life is not in their own hands
they are simply tools being used
for the greater good of humanity
but the aged old bloody battle field
betwixt science and religion remains
as past miracles require logic
in mans conclusions or exclusions
while I pray a little prayer
knowing there is a grand plan
and His will shall be done
no matter the outcome
we dont have to like any of it
only praise His holy name
for the beauty gifted
as long as we have it
 
yanno it kinda seems backwards
as I age less bothers me
cause I dont give a flying hoot
live and let live whatever
I have no control over anything
expect for me and my own happiness
so go on with your bad self
cause God will get you
better repent before He does
I guarantee you wont like it
for our Father so loved the world
He gave His only begotten Son
that whosoever believes in Him
shall not perish but have
everlasting life
if you dont want to accept that fact
dont cause there a place for you too
and eternity is a long time for damnation

hope to see you in heaven...
