what does it mean to be a mother?
I believe we all have our own definition
unconditional love is one for me
hopefully endless companionship another

I think children are like flowers
they grow and blossom in their own time
some even watered well shrivel
others seem to thrive among weeds

most explode into beautiful bright colors
while a few have thorns we still love them
even when their bite causes much pain
we still try to remember those softest petals

I count myself thankful for my little bouquet
that keeps producing every year in the sunshine
as I watch them in time with great love
bringing me happiness...
 
Hi thenami
Lovely words from your heart.
Have a wonderful Mothers Day with many blessings.
 
Father in the name of your Son Jesus Christ...

may we diligently search for answers
in scripture finding self-resolutions,
through your gift of love and holy spirit
give us the strength for great executions,

when doubt and depression shadow our mind
might our thoughts find peace evolution,
and you wash us clean from this dirty world
removing us from this earth pollution,

as your spirit intercedes with utterance
to cause introspective revolutions,
may we rest inside your arms in prayer
as you remain the only solution~

Amen.
 
I think some of us try to feel better too soon, and move quickly to remedy our shredded hearts.
In a grand act to feel better some make the big mistake in thinking grief is not a life long process.
Some try replace heart wrenching great loss with other emotions, which is why I feel the nation of Israel got it right.
They took a year to grieve. I dont know who needs to hear this but Ive been up all night. Maybe I can get some sleep now.
It will soon be 7am. EST. and Im tired. Far too many people get hurt in far too many ways when some dont take the proper time to heal.
Greif doesnt work like that; it haunts us when we least expect.

My lesson from all this is to look back into the old testament for things not addressed in the new. Good morning and goodnight.
 
Agree with you thenami
We are all different as well done ldlplr grieve longer than others. We have to allow The Holy Spirit to guide us PM the time. God knows the right time for each person.
Like you the Old Terstament helped me when I read about Israel grieving. It also helped me to understand the beatitude 'Blessed are they that mourn'.
 
I have a thick cozy blanket
that always covers me with love,
even though I might still be cold
it warms me from places above,

freshly laundered made to remain
for it's been washed white as the snow,
to keep my soul safe from harm's way
and in righteousness I can grow,

I carry this like a garment
every place in life I might be,
as many people dont notice
this brings heart felt comfort in me,

please know this piece has been gifted
from a special quilt sewn worldwide,
with the shed blood of Jesus Christ
the holy spirit is inside,

this blanket was made to be shared
and this gift is waiting for you,
to cover the earth with His love
giving believers life anew~

amen
 
somewhere from deep within there is a beat
an energetic vibration of sorts,
I can taste it within this city street
like concrete and asphalt are its escort,

but I surely can find this anywhere
in the forest jungle mountain or beach,
it is a sound that has been stripped bare
cleverly pure almost outside my reach,

its call wailing as it does captures me
courageous knowing I have no fear,
like a musical prisoner of strength
shifting my life into a faster gear,

I understand at last I must listen
to shine like a light for Christ and glisten~

Hello thenami;

The Lord's timing is amazing. This month while I was down with illness I was reflecting on life. I have been seriously in one on one time with God, seeking and hearing more from Him.

I don't know if your poem resonates with what I just shared but it spoke to me this morning.

God bless you, sister, and thank you for sharing.
 
I was writing from the heart, and letting the spirit lead me as we all need to listen more. From a personal philosophical perspective, the holy spirit is like my heartbeat. When I tune into that "station" and hear its music, the introspective intuition provided doesnt let me down. Its the world and people that do that, therefore I need to block them out while attentively hearing what I should be.

We dont have to like what we hear, not are we required to. When we choose to listen to our Father in heaven in the name of his Son Jesus Christ, he is always the ultimate compass.
 
There is an old friend of my daughters, who is also saved. He was deployed several times, so I can only imagine what he has in his head.
He was in a severe motorcycle accident, and has been having grand mal seizure activity for years. He has trouble keeping a job, and having relationships. PSTD, anxiety, and depression plague his daily life. Please pray for him, as he had already been through five brain surgeries.

Life is a daily struggle for many, and their personal happiness isnt always a choice. Letting emotions go ultimately gives us more control than keeping them in. Its ok to scream, cry, and feel even when it is inconvenient for others around us. Someone needs to hear this today, so I felt compelled to share.
 
Hello thenami
That is tragic and a heavy load for him to carry. I am glad he has your daughter as a friend.
We all know God can do amazing things. Praying for healing and happiness.
 
family
we all have a definition
of this relation
what does it mean to you?

friends whom we love
room mates
holiday guests
coworkers perhaps?

my blood relations are many
but how close are we
only my dear brother
really comes to stay

so here we are
just the three of us
together on a Monday
sipping coffee with a straw

in almost silence
clicking away of keys
taps and bings
loving each other

content with company
elated happiness
of simple being in union
family

Hello thenami;

Numbers don't always tell the results in the church but in testimony numbers can reach and minister to the multitudes.

Thank you for authoring this thread for His glory.

God bless you, sister, and your family.

 
Most importantly this is a site to glorify, thank, praise, and love our Father in heaven in the name of his Son Jesus Christ.

Its a special place for me to speak my mind, vent, find fellowship,
and write from spiritual inspiration so others might glean their own reward as well.
We are all blessed by the best, so "grip it and rip it" (-Pastor Gary).
 
I breathe into my mind
words which feed my soul

as they become a part of me
binding with my flesh as one

being burned as by fire
baptized with the holy ghost

which washes my soul clean
from every blemish till the day

I rest in peace in the heavens
with my brethren- amen
 
just a lazy Saturday afternoon
cleaned out the hot tub
I can never get the chemicals right
so I just gave myself a hot soak
did some laundry like always
spent time with my daughter
ate some oatmeal which is wearing off
and on here saying HI!
hugs and peace to all~ ox'
time for some lunch
maybe chicken fajitas?
maybe chocolate ice cream?
anything chocolate
is forever on the menu...
 
I will enjoy chocolate all my days left here on earth.
In heaven Im sure I wont miss it, or the ocean.


I am but a vessel unto the Lord
filling it with love and happiness,
it is a beautiful place deep inside
with His wisdom and my understanding,

the outside is weathered and worn
but the Lord loves me just like I am,
washing away my sins through His grace
and His enteral forgiveness by salvation,

the greatest gift of all confounds many
as they question what faith is,
to me it is believing what is yet to come
and being sure of what I hope for~

amen
 
I do know what it is
about crisp sparkling water
flavored seltzers are good too
they feel extra special

little bubbles clinging to glass
kinda like champagne of thirst
just waiting to quench
with a little bit of nice

maybe even posh
a slice of citrus perhaps
poured slow in a crystal flute
or a silly but pretty jam jar

but I love me some Pellegrino
and sometimes this off beat
ethnic beverage brand
it sure keeps its fizz longer

nothing like the since 1899 stuff
in these lighter plastic bottles
with a European happy flair
and a bright red star

just sipping it away somehow
feels like a favorite childhood memory
all cozied up in a soft blankie
of hydrating comfort...
