Imagine, It Is

Peaceful images...
No faces...
No races...
White as snow!
Pure goodness
Joyous lights
Streets of gold
Shimmers reflections
Scents so fresh
Limitless life
Forever in glory
Giving way...
So please don't stay
Away from His promises
Lift up His name
While He lifts you on up
Higher than the skies
Filled with fluffy like
  cotton shaped clouds
Touched by His love...
How wonderful His eyes
Upon us all...
How merciful is His essence
Into our lives...
How endless is His love
So pure for our wellness...
Never lose sight...
Never give up...
He never does so
With us.

Relationships

Relationships are sometimes tricky
What seems to be
Is not always as is...
Holding hands in public
May not be out of love
But perhaps, more out of control...
Smiles may seem chipper
But dying sounds of cries
Echo within their inner being...
Not one relationship I have seen
Has ever been 100% compatible...
For none were born alike...
But share similarities;
Yet the ones I have seen reach
An extended amount of maturity...
Are those who give each other
Mutual respect and care for one another...
But I realize too when asking
Some of these long relationships
In which I have witnessed;
Their key element is God...
As in anything in this life...
God being the center
Brings everlasting joy, love & life.
Glory be to God for His loving touch
Upon all who have breath...
Let us pray for all those
Who are having challenges in their marital relationships...
Relationships with family...
Relationships with friends..
And any work relationships...
That communication, respect and trust
Will be healthy and uplifting...
Let us all love God
In His way within our life...
I feel that if anyone has a healthy
Relationship with God, Yeshua, the Holy Spirit and our blessed Mother,
Then the individual can have a healthy
Relationship with anyone else.
May God be in the center of all we do
And all we are... Amen.

Blessed be God.

There is so little
We can control...
We waste our time
Trying to control
Way to much
And neglect to control
That which we truly can:
Our anger...
Our words...
Our income...
Our emotions...
Our behaviors...
Our walk with God...
Our testimony...
Some perhaps our harder
Than others...
But when Yeshua was
Placed upon His head a crown
Of thorns...
Being mocked, ridiculed,
Spit on, beat, whipped, tortured...
Made to carry His cross...
Nailed upon the cross
And even then continued mockery...
He never cursed... put anyone down...
Called fire from heaven...
Lost His temper...
He even asked God to forgive us...
Wow!!! Wow!!! Wow!!!
And we today
still have the audacity
To complain and pout
Shame on us...
Let us be thankful
Let us give praise...
For He did walk upon this earth...
He did perform miracles
And teach us how to live...
He did show the love
of our Father God...
He did die for us
To be free from the bondage of sin
And have a ticket to heaven...
He did conquer death and hell...
He did rise again!!!
He is knocking
At the door of your heart...
And with all this
If we repent
And accept Him...
He takes full control
And we really need not worry
About much...
But pray... serve God... live clean... take care of the gifts
of the sacraments
and the gifts of the Holy Spirit...
Follow the commandments...
Love one another... above all,
Love God with all out hearts...
But so many choose not to...
And lose eternity with one choice.

Let us control nothing
That God has full control of...
We must live day to day
But with God as our center
There is no need to worry...
But live freely
Through Yeshuas love
Our blessed Mother's embrace
And the Holy Spirits guidance.

Be blessed everyone
And Happy Resurrection Day!

¡Viva Cristo Rey!

Little Girl?

“Little Girl?”
Looks as if she is
my youngest daughters age
holding her face together
with both her fragile hands
sitting on the stairs
while some walk up
and other walk down
luggage below her feet
“are those you parents there
Playing their hearts away
With instruments and song?”
wages for some food perhaps
your eyes look weary
did you not sleep
what happened?
Your parents play and sing well
Look around and listen
Little girl, do you speak?
Or do you choose
To rub away the sorrow
That is expressed with each facial sigh
I cannot say what is
For I have never sat
Upon the stairs
As people go up
And others go down
But there is no sense of frowning
Regardless of the disposition
Give some recognition
And understand that you can
And hope will rise to new situations
“Easier said than done?”
I know, I know
That is what I said
When I felt it was all said and done
But hope sprung
When least expected
Can’t say it is all perfect
But little girl
Know this and this alone
Our Father in heaven
Sees all and cares for all
Just stand up and give Him recognition

You are... You will be.

The mountains rose
So will you
The seas roar
So will your soul
The sun is bright
So is your mind
The moon shines
Alike your precious essence
A light guides
As it will lead
You to the place
One is meant to be in
So hasten not
Nor walk with sloth
But embrace yourself
For the ride is never ending
As is this grand universe
That our Father in heaven created
Be at your best
Never giving up to a test
Imagine
And act upon it
Dropping all traces of fear
You are more than you think
And then some…
Lift your hands up
And roll down and rise up
Excitement… relaxation…
Tears… laughter…
Walk… run…
Over all have fun!
The clock is ticking
So listen,
There is you calling
Jump up and catch it
And begin to live
Never too late
Never too early
But take for granted never
That which you truly are
A blessing to those
And a blessing to me

Do things change?

“Some things never change..."
A collection of letters
To make words
Into a catch phrase...
With a negative connotation
Or hopefully in my case...
A positive one...
In regards to how I feel.
I am thankful for Yahweh's
Never ending mercy, grace
And Agape Love...
For it was written:

Hebrews 13:8

Jesus Christ, yesterday, and to day; and the same for ever.

Although, if we are living for Yahweh, through Yeshuas life, death and resurrection, in the name of their
Holy Spirit... and our Blessed Mother's
Nurturing care, love and intercessions, then:

2 Corinthians 5:17

If then any be in Christ a new creature, the old things are passed away, behold all things are made new.

And change from our bitterness, resentment, addictions, idolatry, false religious practices and anything contrary from God's Holy Commandments must change...
We must be as He said...
And never again change...
As in any change,
There comes training, practice,discipline, obedience, humbleness, forgiveness, repentance and acceptance.
Nothing to do with change
Ever comes easily...
Diets being a hard one...
But if followed...
Oh, the rewards are grand.
Such is the spiritual diet
In changing sin for holiness.
The key thing is for
The transformation to take place,
Is realizing that the battle against sin
Was won through the life, death
And resurrection of Yeshua!
Wow! And all we have to do
Is ask Yahweh to forgive us,
Repent of our sinful ways
And accept His will for our life,
Being filled by the Holy Spirit
And letting Yeshua lead our way.
He never changed
He loves us, as when he walked
Upon the earth we walk on;
He died on earth for us...
and was risen unto the heavens
“Some things will never change..."
Glory be to God for this promise
And may He empower us
To change that which we must
So that one day
We will live with Him forevermore.
And perfect... oh, not one of us is:

John 8:7

When therefore they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said to them: He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.

So let's move forward in Yeshuas
Holy, precious name
And reach His paradise:

John 14:3

And if I shall go, and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and will take you to myself; that where I am, you also may be.

So let us change what we must.

Amen.

Fine Line

There is a fine line
Between yesterday
And between today...
Just as Christ Jesus
Did knock at the door of your heart,
The devil is waiting for you
To leave a door cracked
To rush into your heart
To rush into your mind
And poison your soul...
Christ Jesus does not push
His live into your life...
But the devil is a thief
Waiting to break into your life
And steal your joy
Steal your gifts
Steal your future
That God so designed for you.
Today is another day
And if you left the door cracked
And the devil is causing chaos,
Kick him out with the Holy Spirit
Through prayer and fasting
Wash away your soul
With the blood of Jesus Christ
Let Jesus be your friend and king,
Center God first above all
And no doors cracked open
To the devil
Who will lie, kill, and destroy us all.
The devil knows God's potential
In your life and will not stop
Until you are burning in his hell.
