Alphabet Soup Garden Varieties

how do I cook these things
I find so raw with emotion
one single scribble at a time
do I boil them quickly
or let them stew for hours
maybe deep fry in animal fat
place on a cookie sheet to bake
fire roast on a charcoal grill
there are too many options
so I will just throw them in a pot
and add some human thought stock
to mix them well until done
and spit them out unevenly
each tiny letter until they form
sometimes complete sentences
in my home-made Alphabet Soup
shaken not stirred
which grow in this garden
of internet soiled fields
built upon the foundations
of everlasting love and life
may we continue to be fed
by this site- Amen
 
Thank you so much for your works, here, at CFS. You are very talented and the membership and staff appreciates your wonderful contributions.

Again, Thank You.

disappointment seems to be a way of life
no matter how hard I try not to have expectations of employers
I still fall into the trap of wishing they would do the right things
and I set myself up for the mayhem of heart that follows
that insurance company commercial comes to mind... lol
but Im a caring person so I try hard to do my best
as it is not always good enough to compete
in a world that does not really give a hoot
so I sit here on my thread and vent
and it always makes me feel better :)

thanks for reading~ peace hugs and happiness to all

Hey thenami;

I have a feeling if you and I worked in the same company we would have worked well together. For most of my career I was a growing believer in Christ and implemented my faith in my work ethic.

In some companies I was also exposed to the warp and corrupt management, taking shortcuts in business dealings, backstabbing employees, and provided lack of training because management was spending much of their time trying to meet the demands of their upper manager and so on. This does impact the company as a whole and the moral is broken down.

I was always easy to get along at work but for many years I was also disappointed and had to learn that it was God’s company and He already knew the hearts of the managers/owners, and my paycheck came from His provisions. I always had the opportunity to move on but while remaining at my job I sought to serve Him first, then my managers, co-workers, vendors and clients.

This gave me perspective and toward the end of my working days I had peace about it.

God bless you, sister.
 
Thank you bobinfaith. The older I get the more I appreciate my few Christian friends, saved family members, and the peace of solitude.
Reasoning with the unsaved (or the difficult saved that dont act like it) is always a chore, but the work involved isnt always worth the effort.
Sometimes even our Father in heaven wants us to close doors so He can open other ones. The greater lesson is knowing when enough is enough.
I dont believe our good nature was created to be a door mat; we can still love one another with the confidence not to tolerate b.s.

Amen, sister. Isn’t this what Jesus taught, “Shake the dust off your sandals”. There are other opportunities that He will open.

God bless you always, thenami. 😎👍
 
its one of my favorite places
in sunshine and moonlight
on hot or cold days
just not so much in the rain
Im fond of the relaxation
as my mind is able to wander
along with my eyes
maybe the chickens will visit
as I get a sneak peek at the horses
nay nay while I wave hey hey
ah my sweet lightest blue hues
unless I turn the lights on
then I have an assortment
comfortably cured of discomfort
while surrounded in bubbles
soak longer or not to soak more
to care about neighborhood onlookers
or ignore them all as they walk away
I do believe I dont give a hoot
much about anything while inside
in my own personal warm water world
of jets and pressure that isnt perfect
I think I will stay in here though
for a little while longer...
 
does wind wrestle between buildings
like a sumo warrior banging down
can it listen to its own opera
with climatic endings halting to a stop
might it miss itself in stillness of spirit
too exhausted to move in any direction?

if it does these things and more, I understand

for I wrestle in and out of buildings
like in a gym class trying to get through
listen to personal blues rhythms beat
that screech to a scratching halt
as I miss myself when too alone and quiet
even when exhausted and dont wish to move

I imagine the wind gets ME, and understands
 
another holiday season is approaching upon us
underemployed as a fashion stylist for a major corporation
I need more hours so I have been putting in applications
please pray for me as I search diligently at my age
which has become an issue in these days and times
I am hoping an art and crafts supply takes notice
as I have dusted off an old graphic design portfolio
and will bring it into them for an advanced peek
if they so choose to have the time to spare for me

so I am asking for prayer, cause Im heading off there sometime tomorrow

I would also like to ask for prayer for my daughter
she is going to have gallbladder surgery
after neurology releases her cause she still has neck issues
which cause her to black out sometimes
shes not well and combined issues and other minor surgeries
will keep her out of work for the next two months
lets hope she doesnt get fired from her job

we all have our own brand of issues, no one gets spared

This site is truly a comfort, blessing, and a place of love carved out by our Father in heaven in the name of His Son Jesus Christ.
The impact we have on each other's lives is more than we could ever imagine. Oh, the power of prayer, and faith as small as a mustard seed!
Peace, mercy, compassion, and grace are found among these pages (and more).

Thank you for the support, and prayers. Hugs and happiness~

Dear Sister thenami
There is much inspiration, truth, and fellowship in your posts.
Praying along with your brothers and sisters here, that the Lord will lead you to a good work place
and good health for your family.
God Bless you thenami
 
Went to the art/craft supply, with no luck in seeing a member of management.
Handed in a paper application; it's a waiting game. I did show my portfolio to the lead at the time.
Still have hope, as with prayer all things are possible.

Leaning on the everlasting arms...
