COMPASSION

COMPASSION


Compassion comes when you least expect it
An unfortunate slip on the ice
A broken ankle
A piece of cardboard placed gently under my head for comfort
A blanket that appeared from somewhere
Two loving souls on their knees in the snow rubbing my arms to keep me warm
A dear friend blocking the icy wind with their body while waiting for the ambulance
Words of support and reassurance that help was on the way
A long wait in the emergency room so I would not be alone
A ride home at midnight
Saltines to ease the vomiting
A helping hand up the stairs
Phone calls, food, visits, personal service
Random acts of kindness I will never forget
It is sometimes harder to receive love than it is to give it
Love that comes from the heart
Overwhelming
Inspired by HIM….BRILLIANT, WARM, GENUINE

I am grateful my dear friends
I am truly blessed

SOBER EYES

SOBER EYES


My mind now sees through sober eyes
No more fear, no more lies

My Saviors Grace has set me free
Patiently teaching and guiding me

I never dreamed of peace like this
True serenity, joyful bliss

No more worries, no more tears
He bears them for me, He’s always near

I was lost, hopeless, and bare
He has opened my eyes, He has made me aware

He promised me life, He touched my soul
He walks beside me, I give Him control

My job is to serve Him
My pleasure is to praise Him
My honor is to join Him


In His Fathers house someday………..

"FEED MY SHEEP"

“FEED MY SHEEP”


"Feed My sheep"
Was His command
An encouraging word
A helping hand

Share His message
Spread His love
Use your gift
From God above

A servant leader
A friend to all
With smiling eyes
Break down the walls

Walk His walk
Comfort the lost
Shine your light
At any cost

His time draws near
Like a thief in the night
Gather His flock
With all your might

Sing your song
Praise His day
Help the hopeless
Find their way

To His loving embrace

Bad Romance

Vanity
Insanity
Arrogance on parade

Plastic
Drastic
Shallow promenade

Pleading
Bleeding
Integrity fades

Lost
At a cost
Jackals tirade

Packaged smile
Infantile
Kiss of death

Vacant trust
Silicon bust
Bittersweet breath

Glowing
Knowing
Combustible lust

Tragic
Magic
Stand alone I must

Seductive eyes
Forsaken lies
Betrayal caress

Loss of hope
Hangmans rope
Fire red dress

Leave me now
Fly away
The cost of war

Romance
Fat chance
Ciao heartbreaker

Your words of love drip blood
