For those of you who called (call) yourself my friend,
For those of you who took (take) the time to be kind,
For those of you who sent (send) smiles my way,
I thanked you then and I thank you now
Because you gave me the impetus to be strong
And I used that push to help another
As I walked along.
You made it possible for me to do what I could while
I could in my service to GOD, and for that I thank you -
For the great things that, so many years ago,
You planned on my behalf
Though they did not come to fruition,
Just know that I appreciated the thought
And walked forward with the mindboggling
Kind words and plans uppermost in my mind
That you had wrought.
And so, dear friends, it is my wish and prayer
That you are blessed today
For the true kindness that you,
With abandon, gave away
And that you will always find peace
And GOD's help with your every care.
So, folks, if you are of the caliber that gives smiles
And kind words away
Keep doing those things that you do
Because your acts of kindness
Are appreciated by weary souls, but most of all
Will bless you during rollcall on that Great Day.©

FATHER, YOU have lifted me past the level
That men thought I should go
And I just want to say, "Thank YOU to the utmost.
FATHER, for YOUR wondrous works and awe-inspiring deeds
I thank YOU, for you moved the mountain and brought it to me
So that I could climb it, I thank YOU
And though I may find a crevice or two
On this mountain, I’ve been presented to climb
That make me wail and want to stop
I will remember that the mountain was brought to me
And I will climb it until I reach the top
With the help of DEITY, YOU, my FATHER
As I remember that I am assured of victory.©

Different Poem - Same Sentiment (Sequel to Moved the Mountain and Made It Mine)
When I am tempted to give up on my quest
I remember that I have been given a job that
Could have been allocated to the best
But, instead was handed to little ole me
And I intend to work hard because of HIS
Faithful lovingkindness to me, thus, my posterity.©

Poem Three of the Set (Sequel to Moved the Mountain and Made It Mine)
I am yet climbing my mountain
That, by now, seems little more than a hill
And I have almost reached the top
What say you, fellowman
Are you striving to do HIS bidding, still?©
********
The work that you see me do
Is not done, in and of myself
But by the GOD of Heaven WHO
Has provided all manner of help.
HE kept my spirits up when
It seemed that my work was
The envy and target of men
Yes, this penchant for writing that drives me so
Is the way that my FATHER would have me go
So I bid you not to hate me
For my work's sake
For, this is the only road
That GOD would have me take
In order to keep my fellowman
From being discouraged and down
And wearing a perpetual frown
Yes, folk, the job has been given to me
To help keep my fellow man encouraged
On their trek to meet eternity.
And though I meet with disappointment and hate
I do the work that has been given me of late
And make no mistake about it
I will continue to do my job
Because I want no errors on my plate
As I follow JESUS's footsteps to Heaven’s gate.
And, for the record, I don't know what
Else the LORD would have me do
Before I leave this place of my sojourn
But, make no mistake about it
I'll be caught doing that, too
For I follow where JESUS leads me
And I trust HIM to keep me safe
On my trek to Glory.©
********
If you have a mind to do a work
For the LORD, you will get it done
And even if you are beset by trials
As you work through the day
And discouragement by night
Just hold on and keep going
And never give up the fight
For GOD is aware of your plight
And will save you according to HIS might.
Just follow the example set by
Nehemiah and the builders of the wall
And work hard to do your best
And never forget that JESUS
Is ever ready to answer your call
For HE made HIS way from Heaven to Earth
To do the work of HIS FATHER
To save mankind because, to GOD,
Mankind was a creation of worth.
And JESUS set it up so that we could
One day be taken, by HIM, back to Glory
There to tell our salvation‘s story
Of how we were led by JESUS from Earth to Glory.
We have been given the blueprint
That can get us from Earth to Glory
Of which, forgiveness is key
And never forget that JESUS is in Heaven
Interceding for you and me
For one day our journey here will end
And we will no longer inhabit the world of men
As Christians, we will have left a legacy
That tells the age-old story
Of how JESUS came to earth
To lead mankind back to Glory.©

"FATHER, I started this journey in YOUR name
Requesting safe passage for my journey
And I’m ending my journey much the same
Requesting YOUR presence as I
Make my way toward eternity."
When I started out in life I didn’t know
What I was going to be confronted with
But I put the LORD in the forefront of my life
And I got to see HIM step into the battle fray
And for this little child, make a way
So I can tell you from experience
That there is no better WARRIOR
Nor PROVIDER for you
So, take HIM with you wherever you go
And invite HIM into everything you do
For HE will defeat your adversaries in battle
And HE will open doors and
Bring you safely through.©

I benefited many times from
The favor that GOD sent
To me, through the benevolence of men
And that favor went with me
Everywhere I was meant
To go to work in HIS plan for Christianity.
HE didn’t do that just for me
BUT for all of HIS children, who were willing
To do HIS work, don’t you see?
To GOD’s faithfulness, I can attest
And other Christians can, too
So, if you are a Christian, are you
Willing to tell the world
What HE has done for you, too?©

There seems to always be some kind of story
That a Christian has to tell
So I will add what happened to me yesterday
As one of my stories and let it swell.
Yesterday, there was
A series of storms coming our way
And as is my usual habit
I got in the bed to wait the storm out
Why do that, well, I will help you understand
What it was about.©
Well, yesterday I noticed that there were
Storms converging on the city
Where I live from three directions
All according to radar detection
Storms were approaching from the north
From the east and the south
But, much wind, there didn’t seem to be
So now you know why I was in my bed
Watching television, while waiting the storms out
I have to say I was amazed at the fact
That three storms in the red were converging on McKenzie
But I didn’t think that convergence
Had anything to do with me
Besides, I knew that GOD had my back
In any contingency.©
The storms seemed to be pretty much run-of-the-mill storms. I could see the red on the radar get larger as more storms formed. I watched the storms as they met, it seemed, at the blue dot that represented the city where I live and then grow into a large red blot at that spot. And then they moved off to the southwest. As I was watching the radar I noticed a light yellow or golden spot that was approaching the other clouds from the east. I figured in my mind that this little lightly colored cloud didn't pose much of a threat; after all, it was not dark red like the others. And since I noticed that this was the last of the clouds, I began to feel a sense of relief and had just told my daughter that the storm was about over.
Well, I managed to slowly get up and walk to
The window and back while holding onto the bed rail
But I can tell you that my stomach was rolling
The walls were spinning, and I did not feel very well.©
I staggered back to the bed,
Sat down on the side, bent down to adjust my sock
While in thought and almost fell
To think, "My oh my! What was going on?"
I definitely I was not feeling well!
The spinning had come back in full force and
Was accompanied by a slightly nauseated feeling
And I remember thinking to myself
"Don’t bend over to look at the floor
And whatever you do,
Don’t look up at the ceiling
Because this spinning has not finished with you.
I puzzled over my condition for the next several minutes or so
And you know how we often do
I went back through my mind
And thought about when I first began to feel unwell
And I remembered it was right after that lightning ping
And phone call as far as I could tell.©
Well, I said my prayers and the dizziness, which
Was still present this morning has gone away
Lightning strike? I don’t know if this were so
But I want a storm shelter in the worst
Way possible now, don’t you know?!
And I will always be uncomfortable whenever
I hear the approach of a thunderstorm and its lightning.
Yes, for me that will always be a bit frightening
Though it would be a lot less so
If I owned a storm shelter. (sigh)
Can't Y'all just imagine how it will be
My daughter and I, both at the hint
Of a storm will be scrambling
For that shelter with alacrity!
Oh, and one last thing about the lightning and me
At a house in which we used to live
When the lightning would flash, I would
Get into the closet in the center of the house
And everybody in the family
Would laugh at me.
Well one day, we had a humdinger of a summer storm
That caught me in the restroom
So, what did I find when I scrambled
Out of the restroom to my place of safety
My daughter sitting up in my chair
That everyone knew was in that closet for me!
And let me tell you, she was wild-eyed
Biting her lips and stuck like glue
(I couldn't get her out of that chair
And I imagine neither could you)
With her legs wrapped around that chair
So much so that we all just fell out
And had a good old laugh at how she
Beat me to my storm chair in that
Tiny closet of safety.©
Though I didn’t know how things were going to be
I’ve always gone wherever GOD led me
No, I have not always known the outcome of things
But, I’ve walked with the assurance
That faith in GOD brings.
HE has given me confidence and
I have proclaimed
To the world that I walk and work
In HIS glorious name.
And as I have said many times before
When my days of proclaiming
HIS goodness are o’er
I will walk in peace on that other shore
But until then, I can say,
“It is well with my soul,”
...I reach for that heavenly goal.©

Mess into a message

Father, when I was a child
That you give me wisdom and knowledge
Was my prayer each day
And you gave me both of them to such an extent
That I am able to use those blessings
Toward humanity as I say
“The God we serve will show nuf make a way!
And I say that my Momma's teachings
About HIM and my personal experience
With GOD live inside of me
And my legacy can be, and my epitaph can read, “She
Lived for and talked about GOD wherever she went! “
When the books are opened, that
Is what I want to hear read
And "Well done my good and faithful servant,"
Is what I want to hear said.©

(v. 10): Wherefore David blessed the Lord, not only alone in his closet, but before all the congregation." This I expected when we read (v. 9) that David rejoiced with great joy; for such a devout man as he would no doubt make that the matter of his thanksgiving which was so much the matter of his rejoicing. He that looked round with comfort would certainly look up with praise. David was now old and looked upon himself as near his end; and it well becomes aged saints, and dying saints, to have their hearts much enlarged in praise and thanksgiving. This will silence their complaints of their bodily infirmities, and help to make the prospect of death itself less gloomy. David’s psalms, toward the latter end of the book, are most of them psalms of praise. The nearer we come to the world of everlasting praise the more we should speak the language and do the work of that world. In this address,1. He adores God, and ascribes glory to him as the God of Israel, blessed for ever and ever. Our Lord’s prayer ends with a doxology much like this which David here begins with—for thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory. This is properly praising God—with holy awe and reverence, and agreeable affection, acknowledging, (1.) His infinite perfections; not only that he is great, powerful, glorious, etc., but that his is the greatness, power, and glory, that is, he has them in and of himself, v.11. He is the fountain and centre of every thing that is bright and blessed. All that we can, in our most exalted praises, attribute to him, he has an unquestionable title to. His is the greatness; his greatness is immense and incomprehensible; and all others are little, are nothing, in comparison of him. His is the power, and it is almighty and irresistible; power belongs to him, and all the power of all the creatures is derived from him and depends upon him. His is the glory; for his glory is his own end and the end of the whole creation. All the glory we can give him with our hearts, lips, and lives, comes infinitely short of what is his due. His is the victory; he transcends and surpasses all, and is able to conquer and subdue all things to himself; and his victories are incontestable and uncontrollable. And his is the majesty, real and personal; with him is terrible majesty, inexpressible and inconceivable. (2.) His sovereign dominion, as rightful owner and possessor of all: "All that is in the heaven, and in the earth, is thine, and at thy disposal, by the indisputable right of creation, and as supreme ruler and commander of all: thine is the kingdom, and all kings are thy subjects; for thou art head, and art to be exalted and worshipped as head above all.’’ (3.) His universal influence and agency. All that are rich and honourable among the children of men have their riches and honours from God. This acknowledgment he would have the princes take notice of and join in, that they might not think they had merited any thing of God by their generosity; for from God they had their riches and honour, and what they had returned to him was but a small part of what they had received from him. Whoever are great among men, it is God’s hand that makes them so; and, whatever strength we have, it is God that gives it to us, as the God of Israel our father,...

"Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble." (Job 14:1 KJV) But Job made it through his troubles to be blessed tremendously in the end.)
“And the LORD helped David wherever he went.” (1 Chronicles 18:6, NASB)
Trouble was here before you were born
Trouble was here before you knew you were you
Yet Almighty GOD always kept you
And when trouble and you became acquainted
Almighty GOD brought you through.
The word trouble covers every contingency,
Be it, pandemic sickness or what have you
The same God that kept David
Knows, and keeps you, too.
You see, sometimes trouble comes in
The form of men, who can be so mean
But I don't long despair because I have
The GOD of David working behind the scenes
-Working for whom, for this little old
Christian called me
And I don't care what you think or say
My FATHER, my GOD, tells old trouble
To let me be.
And I will shout, "Trouble over, free at last
All of that trouble is long past
And I can tell you, world, that the GOD
Of David holds HIS children fast!"©
********
Pandemic seems to say,
"It's too hard to give thought to pray
Don't worry about it; your GOD's gonna
Help you anyway."
But I lift my voice to say
"Liar, pandemic, for my Bible does say
'You have not because you ask not.'"
So children, keep the faith and hold on
And ask GOD for help in carrying on
For help is on the way and it won't be long.©
********
Oh my soul gives a happy shout
When I think about
The goodness of GOD
And HIS being mindful of me
My soul magnifies HIM to the point of overflow
And words of praise run down my lips
And from my fingers so
Much so that joy leaps all around me
Makes me want to skip high
And sparkles from my eyes.
Men sometimes want to take me to task
Because of my view
But oh, what they don’t understand
Is that when you have been
Sheltered, brought, and taught
By GOD’s powerful hand
The joy within you is so overwhelming that
You have to tell it because it will
Not let you stand silent because you
Are of that group that includes
David and Joseph, to name two.
The joy that you have just cannot
Be contained inside of you
And you lift your eyes toward heaven
With amazed and wondrous praise
And thank God almighty for
The voice in you raised.
So sometimes you just half to let it out
And when you do it comes forth
In a jubilant shout
"GOD is the GOD of gods, WHOSE
Lovingkindness is legendary
Of that fact, there is no doubt."
And Y'all will forgive me as I proclaim
That HE is my GOD and of serving HIM
I have no shame
For HE saved me and continues to do so
Under the stamp of HIS name
For HE adopted me a long time ago!©
(1 Chronicles 17:16, 20, 24
Psalm 126:2)
********
Yesterday as I was preparing dinner
I looked out of my kitchen window
And what did I see
A tiny Robin looking back at me
I said, Hello little Robin
Are you listening to me sing?
(Something I always do
when I am cooking
But I don't expect little animals
At me to be listening and looking)
Continuing my conversation with the robin
I said, "Well I am singing to my God
Like you all sometimes do."
Then I continued singing the song
The words of which I will write below
And I asked the robin if he wanted to sing along.
Now I knew that the robin could not or would not
Sing along with me
So I almost dropped my fork when
He seemed to join me in my whimsy
For he turned his head this way and that
And, the Robin and I were singing a duet
I know that was something to see.
Then a squirrel came by as if to see
What the Robin and I were doing
As he gathered nuts beneath the tree
He walked up to the robin
And stood still as if mesmerized by our song
As the robin and I kept singing
I thought about how whimsical
This tableau here below must look
To any watchers looking from above
As we lived in our voices in praise and love
After I finished singing my song
He finished his business and flew away
And I was left musing about the
Whimsical happening that touched my life that day.
Now, before you start thinking
I am ready for the loony bin
Take a look at the scriptures that
I have listed below and
Neither you nor I really know
What the robin and the squirrel were about
As they stood outside my kitchen window.©

"Victory"
I don't know how
GOD's gonna do it
I don't know when
Or how HE's gonna fix it
I only know
HE's gonna make a way for me
Do it
(Help me sing)
Fix it for me.
Like Nehemiah, I must do
The work of my FATHER
Though you look at me with a frown
I have work that I must complete
And I just cannot come down
For I do not want my LORD to
Wipe me clean as a dish
And turn me upside down."©
(Nehemiah 6:3)
********
I don’t know how you can read the Bible through several times and miss so many things, but I have found that every time I read it again, I find things for the first time. Now you take the scripture that I read this morning in 2 Kings 21:13, there again, I was amazed to know that the "LORD can wipe you clean like a dish and turn you upside down." As I read that, I realized that that is not something that you want the LORD to do to you because when HE does that, HE is taking HIS hands off of you, and HE’s done with you because you have displeased HIM mightily. And I thought, "Oh my, I do not want that to happen to me!"
Live
Live your life's walk in such a way
That people will look at your living and say
She is a person who truly gives
Just look at the type of life
That she lives.
Many have walked this way before
But they are gone now and walk this way no more
But of the path that they trod
A record has been kept
Against the day that they will
Be raised by Jesus from the places that they slept
To be judged by the Lord God
And paid the wages that they’re due
Say, fellow man what does your record say about you?
There are so many that I could mention
That have gone on before
I could mention Pharaoh and his infamous pride
I could also mention the horrific way in which he died
I could mention from the 19th chapter of 2 Kings
Sennacherib and his fight with Hezekiah
I could mention ELIJAH and the legacy that he left
When he left this world in a chariot of fire
I could mention Noah and his boat
I could mention Moses and his traipse through the sea
I could mention Elisha who made the axehead float.
I could mention my mama, a hard-working grandmother
Who set an example for all of us to see
Yet, I have to remember that my journey
Is all about me
I cannot get credit for the way
Somebody else lived their life
I can only be credited with
What I said and what I did
And make no mistake about it
The things said and done by me
Cannot be hidden because they are written down
And will stand the test of eternity.
So, when you see me walking as I should
Don’t envy me
For I am just trying to make sure that my tally sheet
When weighed in the balances
Does not come up on the side of negativity.©
Tekel~Daniel 5:27

Not So Normal
For a case-in-point, if these times
Have resulted in the passing of a loved one
We, like David, have to "Look to the hills
From whence cometh our help."
And though the chariot has come and
Taken our loved one for a ride
We lift our eyes to the skies and remember
That God will wipe away
Every tear that we have cried.
And we know that one day
We will see the loved one
Who has just gone away.
And with GOD’s help, we are
Able to begin to adjust
To the change in our lives
Into which we have just been thrust
As we put our all in HIS hand
And look forward to strengthening
Our walk toward our Homeland
Where sorrow reins no more -
Across the way, on that other shore
Where "normal" will be the same
Forevermore.©

River of Life
The river of life keeps
Flowing along,
Through good times, bad times,
Through right and wrong.
I don’t understand all of
Life’s ups and downs,
I just keep plodding on,
In hopes of a crown.
I’ve shed some tears,
Endured some pain,
Had time in the sunshine
And time in the rain.
I smile when I can and
Cry when I must,
But in the GOD of Heaven,
I put all of my trust.
So when my earthly sojourn
Comes to an end,
And the river of life flows
Around that final bend;
I pray sweet guidance to
My eternal home above,
Where I can rest from my labor
In peace, joy, and love. ©

GOD Will, in HIS Own Good Time. Wait, I Say on the LORD. (Psalm 27:14)[/caption]There comes a time in life when try as you might,
You will meet one of your fellowmen that
You cannot help with their plight.
I was greatly moved by the pathos and bitterness
In the voice of a lady that I talked to today
For she was so sad and embittered that she
Wanted no part of godly talk and told me to get away.
She seemed to feel hopeless and looked so forlorn
That I started to try to make her feel better
With no degree of success at all
For she let me know in no uncertain terms that
She no longer believed in the gospel call.
She rebuffed my overtures to try
To make her feel better to such a hostile extent
That the natural comeback in me wanted
To retaliate in kind
But, I had to bear in mind
That I am living my life as GOD's representative
And as such, I have to lay the natural
Characteristics of me aside, and carry on
With the work of uplifting and encouraging
No matter how much I felt that
I wanted to cry.
I had to remember that it was my job to try
To wipe the sadness and the bitter tear
From her eye
And leave her feeling better that I stopped by
And hopeful that this time in her life
Will be gone by and by.
I wanted to tell her that
All of us at some time have to cry
But the trick is to keep stepping on
With our heads raised looking toward the sky
Because we know that GOD will make
The storm cease
And leave our hearts filled with the sweet peace
Of HIS magnificent release!©
********
As I walked along my journey
Feeling all lost and forlorn
I got a new pep in my step
When I came to the realization that
ASSURANCE walked with me.
Sometimes we have to take the time
To smell the flowers and breathe the air
In order to realize that though
We walk in seeming despair
We do not walk alone while we are there
JESUS (ASSURANCE) never leaves us alone
So, take that thought with you as you travel on
And remember to hold your head up
As you sing your positive song
Because the world is ever listening to your tone.©

Good morning.
I know you remember my telling you that the LORD delights in hearing us express our thanksgiving and our praises to HIM. Therefore, I wanted to give you an example of something that I wrote for HIM this morning.
Because YOU love me, I can go
The direction in which
My life’s river does flow.
And though YOU know all things
I just want YOU to know
That I will carry the knowledge of YOUR goodness
Everywhere I go.
I want to tell YOU what, to me, YOU mean
Because on YOUR unfailing strength
I can always lean.
I never tire of talking about YOU
Because YOU keep me amazed
By the things that YOU do.
LORD GOD, I love YOU so much
That I can scarce believe
In my good fortune in being
The recipient of YOUR loving touch.
I just wanted YOU to hear
My lips speak what’s in my heart
Dear FATHER, WHO has loved me
From the start.©

So, I think it would be a good thing for you to do during this pandemic time because after this pandemic is over, you will be as close to HIM as you’ve ever been. There’s something about getting close to GOD in that once you do, you never want to back up because you love the feeling and the security that the intimate relationship with HIM gives you. Know what I mean? If you don’t just keep living, you will. Be safe.

For the Tool You Let Me See
"Special Delivery"
Is how I entitle the
Care package today
Sent to me.
Time is always of the essence
When as a writer you ply your craft
So, when I got to 1 Kings 22:43
That verse seemed to leap out at me.
I suppose it is the times in which we live
That have me reaching for things that
I know that only Heaven can give
While pondering upon why that
Verse stood out to me
My mind started wondering if
There were a way to raise productivity
Of my daily blog and the ease
With which it is produced
And one thought led to another
In rapid succession, and using
A dictation tool is what I deduced
Would make my workload lighter
And so now, I play with a new tool
Which I have to say is pretty cool
And I am thankful to Heaven today
For sending a new toy for writing as I
Use my craft to lighten another's way.
NASB 1 Kings 22:43
And he walked in all the ways of Asa his father; he did not turn aside from it, doing right in the sight of the Lord.
Got You Covered
Jesus died for me a long time ago
And that is something I am grateful for
I want you to know.
Was touched by the Lord’s hand
To awaken this a. m.
So gonna use this Sunday for worship
And to sing out praises to Him.
His mercy is great in spite of my sin
He accepts my repentance and
Takes me back again and again
Oh, how sweet the precious blood of Jesus
That provides saving coverage for all men.
He gave his Son for the likes of me
So getting up and going to worship
Is the least that I can do, don’t you see?
There is a room being prepared
In my Lord’s house for me
And one day I will get to go home
And live with Him throughout all eternity
All because of Jesus’s blood
That covers any contingency.
In this world, there is so much going wrong
That it makes it hard for a body to remain strong
You turn on the news and you hear tell of this
And you hear tell of that
Sometimes it can be somewhat depressing
Except for the undeniable fact
That Jesus’s blood has you covered
And that is why when I go to worship
I open my mouth and let out a heartfelt praise song
One of which might be, “Saved by Jesus’s blood!”

Is Anything too Hard for GOD?[/caption]This pandemic and the status of our country
have put GOD's faith-building and
patience-building apparatus in gear
But you have nothing, sweetie to fear
Because you asked for attributes to
Be built up in you and that is just
What this pandemic process will do
In that it will draw you closer to GOD
That is what it will do.
So don't despair, dear one, just
Remember that you are in the hands
Of your MAKER and HE knows how
Much to bend you enough to accomplish
His purpose, and even if it means
That HE has to break you
Don't despair because HE
Has the love and know-how
To remake you!©
