The Sacrifice of Praise

When alone and forsaken
Praise Him for His presence
When in need and anxious
Praise Him for His provisions
When ailing and hurting
Praise Him for the healing
When troubled and heavy laden
Praise Him for the peace
When unsure of the future
Praise Him for His direction
When in poverty and want
Praise Him for the prosperity
When in battle and warfare
Praise him for the victory
When tired and weary
Praise him for the rest.
Praise, praise Him, ye saints
For His promises are Aye and Amen
Praise, praise Him, ye saints
For His love Endures Forever!

Wisdom for Today

            Your child needs your time today
            Tomorrow you say
            before tomorrow the child gone,
            relationship hindered!

            Your spouse needs to discuss that matter today
            Tomorrow you say
            before tomorrow spouse no more
            Relationship curtailed!

            Your friend needs to talk today
            Tomorrow you say
            before tomorrow friend deceased
            Relationship forever lost!

            The opportunity here today
            Tomorrow lost forever;
            All that is certain is today
            All you need is today.
            Act now for tomorrow is another’s today!

Nothing Just Happens

" And we know all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose" Romans 8:28.

 

            You fret and anger,
            Complain and nag
            You threaten and curse
            controlled by pride,
            Yet, it helps not!

            You push and shove
            blackmail with tears,
            You plot and distract
            Engulfed in self pity
            Yet, it helps not!

           Stop and listen
           Don’t push, don’t force
           There is a lesson, a reason
           heed to the quiet still voice
           Nothing just happens!

Will you still love me?

God loves us unconditionally and His love does not waver. How many of us can say that we have such love to those we tell that we love? What if you find that the person you love has a past that is tainted with things you degrade? What about in the future? Will you still care considering the change in looks and /or status?

Will you still love me?

Knowing I once roamed streets
Knowing I once begged to live
Knowing I once traded my body
Knowing I once habitated goal,

Will you still care?
When my looks wither
When youth fails me
When my strength shrivels
When health fails me
When my wealth is gone
When prestige dies on me

Love requires strength
It demands tolerance,
Love requires mercy
It demands sacrifice,
Love requires truth
It demands forgiveness,
Love requires stamina
It demands endurance!

Daughter of my Mother

In honor of the sister hood of women

Daughter of my mother

Whom I love and honor,
Why do you sit mourning?
Complaining, yet not acting?

You say “I’m just a woman,
greatness is another’s,
There is no one to help me”
Excuse, excuse, for mediocrity!

Daughter of my mother
don’t you know you are
what you think?
Why wait for another
to validate you?

If you believe, others will,
be true to yours and know,
Power you have to soar
O’er mountains like an eagle.

Identify your purpose and plan
Free you are, to be all
Only believe and act!

The Game of Life

            Life is a game of chess             Full of twists and turns
            You imagine if only
            the if only comes but
            it was just if only;

            Captive of your destiny
            How to arrive you ponder
            You imagine if only
            the if only comes but
            it was just if only;

            Lost in the storms of life
            How to get out you wonder
            You imagine if only
            the if only comes but
            it was just if only;

            Immersed in the fire of life
            How to ease the pain you agonize
            You imagine if only
            the if only comes but
            Wiser as the end draws nigh you know!
