REACHING OUT (A NOTICE TO MY READERS)

REACHING OUT (A NOTICE TO MY READERS)

Once every week I try to post
Two new poems for all to see
But if I don’t get comments from my readers
I will not know who is reading them but me

It’s very simple to help me out
Just join my blog and comment at no cost
And if you truly like what you have seen
There is absolutely nothing that you’ve lost

God has blessed me with this talent
To reach all those who click on my site
But if I don’t know if they’re being read
Is there really any point for me to write

I’m going to post this poem every week
Until I can see what good it has done
Please help me out I have to know if
I need to find another way to glorify God’s Son

DO IT HERE AND NOW

DO IT HERE AND NOW

Yeshua is the living God
The Son that the Father did ordain
Messiah and King of Israel
Who was crucified and rose again

The Sacrifice Lamb who took on
The burden of sin for all
Those who accept Him as Lord may stumble
But Yeshua will catch them before they fall

Unbelievers on the other hand
Still mock and curse His name
When God the Father removes their blinders
I guarantee that they will never be the same

From the remnant of The Way
Until the day of Yeshua’s return
We all need to read the Word of God
There is so much more that we need to learn

Only through Yeshua can we reach God the Father
Profess Him as your Lord and Savior this very day
If you don’t when you arrive at the pearly gates
You’ll find that pride has sent you the other way

DON'T LOSE SIGHT OF REALITY

DON’T LOSE SIGHT OF REALITY

Who out there would like to know
What it’s like to be totally blind
For starters things that you routinely see
They have to visualize within their mind

For those people who have been blind since birth
Except for what they’re taught to hear or smell or feel
Blue skies and other things like food
To them are just words that are not real

Then of course there is the ability to judge
Such as cutting food into manageable sizes
Without someone to show them how
They might be in for some big surprises

There is also the frustration factor
Something that even sighted people do
Like putting on two different socks
But without vision they have no clue

Don’t feel sorry or pity them
Just help them whenever you can
Even though your abilities may differ
We’re all a part of God’s eternal plan

ETERNAL LIFE IT ONLY GETS BETTER

ETERNAL LIFE IT ONLY GETS BETTER

Many great things have happened
Within the span of my entire life
Next to my salvation the best of these is the day
That we were pronounced to be husband and wife

I love my children and grandchildren dearly
As everyone with other family should do
But it’s hard to compare to the way that I felt
On the day that the Lord lead me to me to you

When I accepted Yeshua as my Messiah
I could never envision so much blessing
But as I read and heard God’s Word
I know this is just window dressing

Even though it brings a deep sense of fulfillment
When I’m able to lead others to their salvation
Living life by honoring God’s Commandments
Will fulfill my life with even greater jubilation

For when God no longer needs me here on earth
That’s when the timelessness of eternal life begins
There are no losers in the kingdom of heaven
Only winners who’ve been cleansed of their sins

And on the day when the shofar is blown from above
That awesome sound that signifies Messiah’s return
The Lord will lead His children through the pearly gates
A day of jubilation for which all believers yearn

TWILIGHT

TWILIGHT

Lost in the midst of an eternal dream
On a lonely desert isle
Remembering a million yesterdays
Repossessed in a single smile

But reality comes with each new dawn
That intimate moment cannot last
The dark of night turns into day
Ever present yet long since passed

MAKE AN IMPACT ON GOD'S DECREE

MAKE AN IMPACT ON GOD’S DECREE

For most of my life I will admit
I was afraid knowing I would die
I could not explain why I felt this way
Sometimes the feelings made me cry

Much later in life I understood
That I had no reason to feel this way because
Yeshua brought salvation into my life
Now I live my life from day to day

His teachings showed me not to fear
For when it’s my time I’ll have God’s Grace
And my Spiritual Soul will be led to
God’s Kingdom where I’ll be in a better place

Through Yeshua my sins have been forgiven
I must try harder to walk in His way
Because even unknowingly we all sin again
So I must Asking for forgiveness when I pray

I have no clue how I’ll be judged
Only God knows what He plans
Now each day He is my first priority
All of my past actions are in His hands

I did not write this to scare you or sound morbid
What I have written is just biblical fact sir ma’am
When you put God first in everything that you do
It will surely impact the decision of the Great I Am

LEGEND

Legend


Atop a mountain oh so high
In a land far far away
‘tis told down through the ages
A lover’s tale of another day

It’s said while scaling this surmount
A handsome noble prince
Met the goddess of this mountain
And was never heard from since

Yet there are always rumors
And some claim to have seen
Atop the lofty mountain
The young prince and his queen

**SEE 1st NOTE BELOW

FYI-- The 3rd posting from today should have been 1st and anny typing errors (like in poem 2 were uncorrectable because of problems on the site.

ONE OF MANY LESSONS FROM GOD

Trust in the Lord in all that you do
No matter what your trouble
For if self should fail in any way
It will surely burst your bubble

You may make it through your problem
Because God knew that you could handle it
But if what you seek does not work out
The last thing you need to have is a hissy fit

Even when you ask the Lord for help and
Things don’t work out like you think they should
Perhaps God is trying to tell you something
The outcome was for your own good

Who are we to question why
Only God knows the answer to all things
It’s a depth no one can fathom
Even those with angel’s wings

If you don’t put your trust in God
Because you want to be self reliant
The only reason that you won’t succeed is
Because God knows that you’re being defiant

So get the message loud and clear
Pray and ask for what you need
If God believes your request is worthy
It will be granted but at His speed

REALITY OR DREAM

REALITY OR DREAM Climb Climb on board
My sailing ship
For we’re about to take
A different kind of trip

We’re headed for an island
It is called the land of Zod
Where normal things look very strange
And strange things look extremely odd

It starts as we arrive in port
We docks under a full moon
How can this be happening
It’s just barely after noon

We want take a buggy ride into town
But the carts they have square wheels
And it isn’t horses that are pulling them
It’s a team of red and green striped seals

In the lobby of the hotel
The bellhop was a clown
And when he took us to our rooms
All of the doors were upside down

That night we went on a walking tour
Passing palm trees heaped with snow
And saw purple colored butterflies
With blinking headlights all aglow

We passed a water fountain
So I thought I’d take a drink
When by accident I pulled the handle off
What came pouring out was dark blue ink

With all these weird things happening
It’s no wonder that I began to scream
For all of this had t o be a nightmare
It was definitely not a pleasant dream

Just then I woke up somewhat startled
And I heard a voice from the TV recite
I hope that you’ve had a pleasant trip
We will see you again tomorrow night

AS PROMISSED, I'M BACK

AS PROMISED, I'M BACK WITH A NEW COMPUTER SETUP AND 2 NEW POEMS EVERY SUNDAY, BUT BEFORE I POST THIS WEEK'S POEMS, I HAVE A PRAISE REPORT TO THE LORD. HE IS AWESOME AND HIS GRACE AND MERCY ENDURES FOREVER. BLESS HIS HOLY NAME.
lAST WEDNESDAY MORNING MY WIFE TRUDI HAD A DOUBLE KNEE REPLACEMENT. THEY SENT HER HOME ON FRIDAY AFTERNOON BECAUSE SHE HAD PROGRESSED SO WELL. THE NEXT DAY WHEN THE HOME THERAPIST CAME OUT TO EVALUATE HER, HE TOLD HER THAT SHE WAS ALREADY 2 WEEKS AHEAD OF SCHEDULE. I COULDN'T ASK FOR A BETTER PRAISE REPORT THAN THAT. THANK YOU LORD, AMEN
TODAY'S 2 POEMS WILL BE POSTED AFTER LUNCH. NOW I KNOW WHY THEY SAY A WOMAN'S WORK IS NEVER DONE. I FEEL LIKE THE TRAINER WHO JUST PICKS UP THE PIECES AFTER THE FIGHTER WHO DOES ALL THE WORK.
