My Desire

A desire hidden with all of us is often ignored or taken as something else. I have a desire burning inside me and it will keep on burning every day until my Saviour returns to the Earth. The desire to be pain free, sorrow free, heartache free, free from darkness. Oh how much it burns but how sweet is the power that can subdue it all.

My Desire

Oh the loving desire in my heart

So deeply hidden within

I begin the day waiting for Him to bring it out

Only He can do it without a doubt

He’ll bring me from the dark to the light

There is not one man on Earth

Who could pull this desire from me

It’s perched way down in my heart

Awaiting the One

Many a day I wander

Hoping to subdue my desire

It burns in me like fire

I yearn for the One

Who can put this fire out

He’s coming soon,

I have no doubt

Oh how I count the days

Till He descends upon the Heaven's rays

Down to Earth

And rescues me from this fire within

and take me home to the true place I desire.

Phillipians 1:6 Being confident of this, that he who began good work in you, will carry it on completion until the day of Christ Jesus.

Christmas, the Gift from Heaven

This was my final Christmas poem that I wrote for 2012. As we get ready for the Christmas season 2019, I wanted to come back to this and share with you all.
Merry Christmas everyone! I pray you receive many blessings of good health and prosperity in the coming year. God Bless Everyone! Thank you Lord for this oh so special gift. I will treasure it forever.

Christmas, the Gift of Heaven

Colourful ribbons and bows

Frost upon your nose

Streets lined with glistening lights

Preparations have begun for the 

Holiest of nights

Stores are full of shoppers galore

as they buy more and more

T'is the season with much greed

we need to be reminded of a greater need

that stays all year round

not just when the snow falls to the ground

It's the poor and lost that need us the most

so before you give that toast

Open your heart to a time long ago

to an event I'm sure you'll know

Feast your eyes on that big bright star

that shone from afar

that led so many to see Heaven's gift

Look how we've fallen adrift

in a sea of hurts and unforgiveness

Let this be the time to give up those sins

and turn back to His love and kindness

May the Lord's grace and mercy

flood your heart with the desire to care

and may it cause you to share

His wondrous gifts

with each and everyone you meet

be sure to spread His love everyday

not just on Christmas Day

It's the ultimate gift that never stops giving

Straight from Heaven

My kind of gift.     

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               

Gift of Jesus

As Christmas draws nearer and the shopping comes to an end, I thought I'd post this reminder of why the season came to be. It's nice to shop and buy but to recieve this special gift is the best reason of all!

I will have one more post for Christmas. I hope you have enjoyed my Christmas poems. Please do leave a comment below or on any of the Christmas poems.

Merry Christmas to All! May the Lord fill your hearts with warmth, love and many blessings in 2013.

The Gift of Jesus

Each year ‘bout December time

In the midst of chaos 

Begins the race to find the biggest and best gift of all

We stress and tire 

And search up to the wire

At any store or mall around

But can it be done?

Can we really find the biggest and best gift of all?

At the shopping mall?

Truly there must be a bigger and better gift?

Why it’s just under our noses,

The problem is we never stop to smell the roses

So how then could we ever know of the Bigger gift?

It’s larger than the biggest shopping mall,

Can’t fit it in a box

It's made for sharing when opportunity knocks

Whether we search high to the North

Low to the South then out to the East 

Back to the West as the oceans flow

Or where the winds blow

It's spread from your house to mine

And laced through our hearts

Still we fail to see 

We think it only comes once a year

So lend me your ear and I will tell 

Of the Biggest and Best Gift of All

That only One can deliver and surely He has

We must be eternally thankful

For the gift of which I speak is simple you see

It’s God’s gift of Jesus for you and for me.

There is just no other gift that can compare

The Biggest and Best Gift of All

Is ours for the taking.

Jesus was and is the Biggest Gift of  ALL!

Mathew 1:22-23All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet. The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son and they will call him Immanuel which means-God is with us!

Wrapping up Christmas 12 ways

A dozen ways to give Christmas. So many search malls for ways to give Christmas. How about going back to the right ways. Here is a dozen ideas.

I think we need reminders of the reason for the season!

Just another reminder of what should be in our hearts at Christmas time and the whole year through!
MERRY CHRISTMAS FRIENDS and FRIENDS!

Don't Save It till Christmas Day

Glimmering lights bounce of the falling snow

Sweet smells of yummy treats linger slow

The magic fills the air 

Christmas shopping with care

but concentrate I cannot

for my thoughts they wander

to a time long ago in a place over yonder

where a special One in a manger lay

The bright shining star at top the tree

reminds of the angels shining high 

in the sky for all to see

just where hope of peace for mankind began

His birth oh what a gift for you and for me

Such a gift of love

sent from our Lord above

Decorations on each branch

remind of all the blessings for a second chance

to change our hearts and save our souls

to read and know the word

of our Gracious and Loving Lord

I ponder over songs of peace, love and joy

Savior smiles on every girl and boy

rejoice as families come together

no matter the weather

but Christmas needs to be more

there needs to be no more war

for all to obey and live by God's way

For the world to love and trust

in Jesus Christ is a must

To love and care for one another

as sister and brother

is the desire of The Father

So put down those weapons

silence the nasty tongues

and if it wouldn't be too much of a bother

Say MERRY CHRISTMAS

be kind and loving in every way

today and every day

Don't save it till Christmas Day!

Candy Cane Kisses

OK so I was having fun. I had to come up with a craft for me wee friends(day care) about candy canes. I wanted something a little different. The phrase "candy cane kisses and marshmallow dreams." popped into my head. So I cut out some red candy kiss shapes and had the children glue on white and green strips of paper. Then I thought it needed a little poem. This is where I had some fun. I attached it to each of their "Candy Cane Kisses" They look so cute. This is my fun poem of Christmas. As Christmas draws near I do hope you get smothered in candy cane kisses from your own little ones.

Candy Cane Kisses

Candy cane kisses, oh so yummy and sweet

to receive one is just so neat

only to be followed by marshmallow dreams

that ooze through the stickiest of Heavenly streams

Come on with me and take a whirl

on these peppermint swirls

As we climb to the sky

be sure to take a lick as we fly by

Christmas is here

Let's give a great cheer

Grab hold of someone along the way

And share with them these joys of Christmas Day

Let's fill our hearts with oodles of sticky love

As we float through the streams from above

May the peace and joy inside 

Be with you and your kin

today, tomorrow and always

May you spread your own candy cane kisses

and be blessed with many marshmallow dreams

for many years to come.

Have a Very Merry Christmas

and a Blessed year ahead!

Christmas

Christmas 

Sparkle, twinkling shining lights

help to take the dark from the night

the colours they glisten and bounce 

from snowflake to snowflake

all to the Glory of it's name sake

Jesus had come, Jesus had gone

but it's what He had done

that we remember the most

the message from the Heavenly Host

was clear as could be 

but falter did we

as Christmas draws near

reminded are we

of He who came to wipe our sins clear

Each light that twinkles,

each branch adorned

each gift wrapped in pretty paper 

A Heavenly reminder 

of a babe in a manger 

whose purpose was 

to spend his life teaching us of the Father's Love

and bring us to our Lord above

This Christmas season friends

I pray for one and all

that as you hang that last Christmas ball

You'll pause a moment and bow to pray

in thanks for that Glorious Day

when our Lord and Saviour came our way

Though He does not walk in the world with us

He's never left our side.

Let's not get lost in all the retail fuss

inside our hearts is where He needs to abide.

Merry Christmas Friends, Families and Foes

Glory to God in the highest

and on Earth peace to men on whom his favour rests

This has been my Christmas Wish and Always will be

I've been waiting for this season for a whole year! Yes, I can never get enough Christmas. The only thing that isn't the same from the Christmases when I was young is the lack of snow. The area where I now live doesn't seem to like having white Christmases, but that's not my point. This world has turned so far away from the real meaning of Christmas, the real reason for the season. There are many people that observe Christmas and celebrate but do we really know what it's all about.

I have written a few poems that are all about Christmas. I love Christmas for all the reasons it's meant to be especially because it's the time when we celebrate our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ's birth. No one knows the exact day this is supposed to be. It all depends on the place in the world where you observe. I believe in God's word and His gift to us. If we observe that on December 25th, then so be it. I celebrate my Lord everyday. Christmas is everyday. The festivities last a few days but Emmanuel is there all year

round! Come Emmanuel! Come!

This is what I wish for Christmas every day and every year!

Christmas Miracle

After all the stores have closed and lights go dim

I can’t help but draw to my thoughts of Him

That beautiful babe so tender and sweet

That would one day suffer a feat

But not be conquered when He fell

All for the glory of One we don't know well

We honour and celebrate every year

Yet seldom think of why He was here

Why should we when we have shopping malls 

and video games

What would we have to gain

Shouldn't we feel shame

How could we abandon such a friend

To our selfishness and idolatry, 

I hope there is an end

My Lord and Saviour He can save

Us all from a nasty grave

For that’s why this miracle came to be

He had to take the rap for you and me

Are we all so lost

Oh how I long to see that Peaceful Glory of Christmas

That has been lost along the way

My wish for Christmas is simply a Miracle

A Miracle in Faith

Faith that my family and friends

Will be still and listen to the silence of the Lord

In what is the most glorious time 

I wish for everyone, everywhere

to stop on Christmas Day if you dare

and love one another 

and receive the gift of our Father

again for the First time

Merry Christmas to one and all

Please remember He who took the fall 

And reach out to Him

Without Him your future will be grim.

Acts 3:18But this is how God fulfilled what he had foretold through all the prophets saying that his Christ would suffer; Repent then and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord and that he may send the Christ who has been appointed for you-even He must remain in Heaven until the time comes for God to restore everything.

Lost in the Wilderness??

Many times in our walk with The Lord, we feel like He is not hearing us or that He's angry with us. Some may feel that we aren't good enough so he brings us to places that are not so desirable, out of our comfort zone. We might pull back in our faith or do things to show Him we are angry. Really we should be looking to Him more, seeking His face. We shouldn't question why we are there, instead we should look at what can He do for us to help us through, when we are indeed "Lost in the Wilderness". Many times I have felt lost and hopeless. When I turn my eyes to Him, I begin to see His light. I don't understand it, nor do I try but I trust Him. Not trusting and doubting the Lord is a sin.We often want to live in harmony with a status quo. That could just be what is holding us back from finding our way through the lonely wilderness. Looking up and saying "Please forgive my sins", then reaching out and letting Him lead is the way out. There will be many times when we will be lost in the wilderness of life, it is then that we need to ask less and follow more. Then and only then will we see our way out. To seek Him is to Believe.

Lost in the Wilderness

Purpose and meaning are on my heart

I don't understand what's keeping us apart

Why can't I find you in me and me in you

what do I need to do?

You've brought me here to this desert place

why can't I see your face.

Where are you Lord

time in this place I can't afford

Please Lord tell me why you bring me here

what is it that I fear

The wilderness is a nasty place 

why can't I just l live with your grace?

What is it Lord you need to me to see

from this place I want to flee

but don't know where to go

I run to the east and to the west

can't get out even when I try my best

I climb to the north and the south

but only cries come from my mouth

The wilderness is a nasty place 

why can't I just live with your grace?

What Lord was wrong with where I was

tell me Lord what is your cause

I don't want to face what's in my heart

too much is there to cause me pain

leave it there don't want to live it again

The wilderness is a nasty place

why can't I just live with your grace?

Mathew 6:33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

Ephesians 1:7-8 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace that he lavished on us with all wisdom and understand.

He Endured it all

This is the reason we have Easter. It's not the bunny or the coloured eggs but it was Jesus' birth and later his death on the cross. You can't have Christmas, without Easter. They go hand in hand. Without the birth of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, I'd hate to see what will happen to the world, when the end finally comes. I give thanks everyday for God's gift to us. I embrace it, I learn it and I love it. No one one earth would sacrifice something so special for me to have a second chance. Today I give praise to God the Father, for His blessings and gifts to me, and to Jesus for enduring it all for us. I'm far from perfect, but He is perfect.

Happy Easter! Sunday is a coming!

Cause You Endured it All for Us

You were but a lamb

Led to the lion’s den

Stripped and strapped

Deserted and alone

We stood to watch as if to condone

How foolish were we

To think we could live without thee

You endured it all for us

Something we will never comprehend

To have such a loving friend

Jesus, Dear Jesus

How can you forgive us?

Why does Our Father set us free?

How could you do this for me?

You endured it all for us

In You we must trust

As our Lord and Saviour

With greatest of Honour

Fear not must we

As we are led by thee

To Our Father above 

And are forever grateful of the love

He sent to Earth

Through your birth

You endured it all for us

You are my shepherd now

I follow wherever you lead

I look to you for what I need

No longer will you be

Deserted and alone

For in Our Father’s home 

We will roam

Cause You endured it All for Us.

Mathew 16:24-25If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it but whoever loses his life for me will find it.

Happy Thanksgiving my American Friends!

To all my Amercian, sister and brother and family members as you celebrate your Thanksgiving. Here in Canada we celebrated in October but everyday is an opportunity to give thanks. I join you in giving thanks today because I have so much to share. God is truly amazing for he does for us. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving! God Bless America and all who dwell.

Thanksgiving Blessing and Prayer

Thank you Lord for the earth on which we roam
Thank you Lord for the land on which we build our homes
Thank you Lord for the morning light
and the moon that gives light to the night
Thank you for the creatures big and small
for in some ways they are a blessing to us all

In these days when the air is cold,
it warms me through to know Your heart is pure like gold
It's over flowing love surrounds us like a glove
I am filled with joy and peace as I set my table here
and hope for my family and friends as they draw near
on this fine fall day
this blessing I will ask if I may

Lord, today I pray for peace and tranquility
in the hearts of all my American sisters and brothers
May you bless each heart with a perfect helping
of grace and healing
Serve up a delightful side of compassion and forgiveness
and please don't don't forget to top it off with and good scoop of mercy
Open all the eyes with hope and humble pies
then tuck into each heart a cup of Heaven's perfect tea
and lay each one down to rest with a careful touch of your joy and admiration
Please pour this blessing onto every nation
near and far
to remind us all we are here because of who You are
Thank you Lord for giving us the one
so our sins could be undone.
May we always put our trust and faith in you
in everything we do
May we seek your blessing each and every day
and not just on Thanksgiving Day.
AMEN

God's Whispers I heard them today

Many times through out my day I think I hear someone speaking to me but when I turn around and no one is there. I used to think I was crazy. One day not long ago, that started changing. I was hearing something. I was hearing whispers from someone so amazingly special. 

God's Whispers

They travel with the wind

through the trees

and cool evening breeze

In the hush of morning's first light

they sing out through the robin's song

Sweet somethings He sends

that tell me to Him I belong

Be still and know

is the message falling with the snow

each flake a sprinkle of His love

falling from above

aiming for my heart

away from Him I will not part

His whispers He sends all day

when I'm on my way

They dance and swirl

and call to my inner girl

They ask me for a dance 

leaving me in a trance

At times I do not hear 

the whispers from my dear

but never does He stop

He'll shout them from the mountain top

to be sure I hear every soft word

Oh my Love how he showers me

with whispers so quietly 

that my heart it burns as it waits

and yearns for them to flow my way

and guide me through my day

The whispers they carry me

from morning's first light 

through the darkness of night

Whispers comfort when I'm in tears

and guide me through my fears

I thank my Love, my Lord

for these whispers straight from Your word

 you still my heart and warm my soul

with every whisper that You send

For to capture my heart is Your goal.

Ps46:5,6,10,11 God is within her, she will not fear. God will help her at the break of day

Be still and know that I am God, I will be exhalted among the nations, I will be exhalted in the earth. The Lord Almighty is with us, the God of Jacob is our fortress

Owl in the Clouds

I Love to watch the clouds. They can be so mystical. Yes they can be dark and full of stormy weather, but the white fluffy ones are the ones I am talking about. When was the last time you laid on the ground and just gazed up at the clouds. I love taking time to do that. I watch the sky often as I walk. A few years back an image of a cross was revealed to me in the crisp morning sunrise. An image I cannot even begin to describe it's splendour. Then just last spring I was out for a walk and I looked up and saw something perculiar. It looked as though the face of a wise old owl had been painted in the sky. I didn't have a camera with me but it was really neat. When I went home I wrote this poem about my Owl in the Clouds. In my search for a picture to add with this, I was unable to come up with a photo that was like what I saw. This one I have here is the closest I'll get to the image I saw. At least it will give you an idea.     

Owl in the Clouds

High up in the cluster of clouds

There peering down at me

Was the face of a wise old owl

I felt it stare from under its brow

It’s gaze like that of a father watching his child

I couldn’t help but stare 

Back into its glare

Its gaze filled me with such warmth

As though the Lord himself was there

Not taking my eyes off him

I reached up to the sky

Pulses of love wriggled through me 

Down to my toes

I felt myself being lifted high

Upon the clouds I did walk

With that wise old owl

Though he did not talk

We danced and flew through

The sky of blue 

In and out of the clouds

Then back to the ground

Without a sound

He smiled and returned to the cloud in the sky

As I turned for home I felt his whisper

“I’ll carry you wherever you roam”

I spoke not a word

But continued my walk home

How awesome is that?

A whisper to lift me high

From the owl in the clouds.

Deuteronomy 1:31 and in the desert. There you saw how The Lord you God carried you, as a father carries his son, all the way you went until you reaches this place.

He is forever mine...and I His!

Nov 13, 2012, at the front of my church I stood and gave my testimony as to why I chose Jesus as my Saviour. The peace and renewal I felt from that moment stays with me today and I know will stay with me forever. Around this time I had written this poem about the silly things that we hold with value but not looking at where our values should. It seemed a fitting poem for what was about to happen with me. 

My New Life

Pish, posh, pot pourri

All these possessions just for me!

I’ll take this one and that one

Before the day is done!

Not because I need

If surrounded by possessions is the way to go

Why do I feel so low?

I should be on a natural high

But how else can I get by?

There can’t be another way

Can there?

I’ve heard of someone so mighty and big

Who has created this land?

Someone so big He can be seen everywhere

But who can this be?

And why would there be a second chance for me?

Grace, mercy, forgiveness

Is that what will fix my mess

Just to ask for all this

And receive a life of Heavenly Bliss?

WOW!

Then pour it on Oh Mighty One

For with my old life I am done

From now on it’s a new life for me!

Deuteronomy 30:20 And that you may love the Lord your God, listen to his voice and hold fast to him. For the Lord is your life and he will give you many years in the land he swore to give your fathers.

Joshua 24:15 But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.

Remember Our Fallen Brothers and Sisters

 I wrote this as a tribute for Remembrance Day a few years back. It's hard to just give tribute to the fallen soldiers of yesterday but I also have total respect and love for the soldiers of today's wars. God Bless You All!

To the soldiers then and now, there isn't a day that I don't feel blessed because of the work you do for my freedom! I thank The Lord God Almighty for giving you the call to serve in the name of peace. May one day everyone lay down their guns for good. Thank you dear soldiers. Thank you.

Soldiers Dear on Remembrance Day

Listen here to a tale that happened

not so long ago

but when it will forever end we do not know

 Soldiers strong and bold

their courage never grew old

They gave up homes and lives

to help keep us alive

Tucked into their beds of mud and bugs

while we continue to share special moments and hugs

to protect the innocent was their goal.

Sons and daughters

brothers and sisters

and fathers alike

all gathered amongst strangers

to become rangers

in the fight of their lives

all for me and you

 

Though some have gone

before the dawn

their purpose stayed true

they wanted peace and unity just like me and you

senseless battles they did fight

to help try and make things right

to these soldiers what do we owe?

a great amount of thanks

for all the battles on the banks

of enemy rivers

to think of it gives me shivers

So join me will you please

with prayers of thanks and blessings too

for our veterans near and far

because of the special thing they did for me and you

Let us remember them all not just today but EVERYDAY!

Nothing Compares to Him

God created the Heavens and Earth. He created each and every soul. There is no one like my God.

I can't help but sing His praises for all He has done, is doing and will do in the future. There isn't a long explanation as this is what is on my heart right now, right at this moment.

Yahweh, Nothing Compares to You

Can anyone do like You?

Can anyone grow a tree from a seed

and supply the birds with every need?

Who could split the mountains and valleys so right?

and separate day and night?

Who would dare to hang such wonderful lights in the sky?

and make creatures that swim and fly?

Who loves the world so unconditionally

and whose works are undoubtedly

incomparably, remarkable?

Who pressed on even when His creations came undone

and to fix it all, gave His only Son?

My mind thinks of only one who is deserving

My heart tells of only one who is worthy

of every praise

for each of my days here in this world

Forever a place in my heart I will hold

The One who caused this earth to be

extra special for my sisters, brothers and me

Forever true, My Yahweh

My Saviour, My Creator.

Psalm 145:3 Great is The Lord and most worthy of praise; his greatness no one can fathom.

Alone and Scared

Have you ever felt alone and scared? Who did you turn to? Are you still in that pit? Do you know how? How about a boost? I know someone that can help.

Alone and Scared

Here in this deep dark pit 

Alone and scared I sit

weeping yet unheard

passer byes just walk on

Why am I in this place?

can't seem to climb this wall

each time I try I fall

I cry but no one hears

I'm left drowning in my fears

Alone and scared

weeping yet unheard

broken and hurt

Will I forever be covered with this dirt

Left alone here in this deep dark pit?

Where can I go?

I just don't know

Alone and scared

weeping yet unheard

who will even care if I should fade away

don't care to see another day

Now a blinding light shines in causing me to turn away

I see a hand reach down out from that light

and pull me up with all it's might

It dusts me off and strips me down 

then  washes me clean 

and places over me

the cleanest, whitest gown I've ever seen

No longer am I alone and scared

I weep no more

He takes me in his arms whispers softly in my ear

"Fear not, for I will always be here"

I am rescued, I am healed

into my soul God's love has been revealed.

I'm lifted from the darkest pit 

and placed in his palm

to be forever His 

I am His and He is mine

together in each other we will shine.

Psalms 25:15-21 My eyes are ever on the LORD, for only he will release my feet from the snare. Turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am lonely and afflicted. 

The troubles of my heart have multiplied; free me from my anguish. 

Look upon my affliction and my distress and take away all my sins.

 See how my enemies have increased and how fiercely they hate me!

 Guard my life and rescue me; let me not be put to shame, for I take refuge in you.

 May integrity and uprightness protect me, because my hope is in you.

UNITY

The Body is a unit, though it is made up of many parts, and though all the parts are many, they form one body. So it is with Christ. For we were baptized by one Spirit, into one body 1 Corinthians 12: 12-13. We as Christians are united by this. We serve for the glory of the Lord. And as Christian we must stand together in support and love for one another.

United We Are

One hand

one heart

one soul

It's you who keeps me whole

Two feet

Two eyes

One path

It's you who carries me from where danger lies

One life

one world

one Creator

It's you I adore

One Spirit

One Father

One Son

It's Your will to be done

Forever and always

United we will be with

One mind

One body

One heart

Awaiting a fresh start

That only you can give

7 Candles

Candles are beautiful. I love them. I love to stare at their flame as it flickers. I love what they often represent. Tonight I light 7 candles because Jesus is my light. As long as my light is forever I can get through anything life throws at me.

7 Candles

I light a candle of repentance

As I kneel to pray for deliverance

and pray for Him to shed some light

on my messed up day

I ended my day in darkness like the night

I must now confess before I sleep all the sins I do keep

I light a candle for forgiveness

for all the sins I do confess

Conviction is near

The Lord's wrath I do fear

I am truly sorry for all I've done

I light a candle for mercy and grace

Even though I do sin

His anger holds no place

His love will conquer all

and He will catch me when I fall

I light a candle for hope

as I begin a new day

in hopes My Lord will pave my way

as I travel down the road to serve

and that He'll guide me around each curve

I light a candle for faith

that my daily bread He will bring

filled with His strength and wisdom for my day

and to Him praises I will forever sing

I light a candle for love

A love so grand

that it can only come from God's Mighty Hand

May it be forever flowing

into our hearts and forever will this candle stay glowing

I light a candle in remembrance

of my second chance

For God so loved the world He sent is only son

so that His will could be done

We are loved and free

Keep this candle flame within our hearts

burning forever

and He will be there with us throughout each and every endeavour.

John 8:12When Jesus spoke to the people again he said "I am the light of the world, Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life"
