UP!

OK ok I know, why do I keep posting older poems instead of new ones? Well it's simple I'm so busy and preoccuipied my thoughts just don't come out. My older poems capture what my heart has felt, does feel or just a simple word of encouragement. For my regular readers, you'll know when I have edited one of my older poems. For now I am collecting so many ideas, I feel I will be composing again soon. So please keep reading it will encourage me. God Bless All!

Have you ever thrown yours hands up and been frustrated because something came your way you weren't expecting? Could be a smile from someone when you are in a bad mood, or traffic jam or a "Be back in 5 Mins sign" We experience them everyday. Sometimes they drive us crazy cause it's not what is in our plan for that day or time.  It isn't about what we have planned. It's about what He has planned for us. Sometimes the Lord sends us little things to interrupt something that might not be what He has planned for us, or we are just going to fast to notice. So as frustrating as things may get maybe we need to slow down and take a better look at who has us on His hook. I know I've had many moments like these. Like for example last year I was coming home from work and had to stop at the bank to get money for my babysitter. I stopped at the bank and was grumbling to myself when some guy on roller blades whizzed by me, startling me. He looked at me and smiled and said" Smile it's a gorgeous day!" My answer was,"Not it's been horrible!" Then off he went, never to be seen again. But then I got to thinking, maybe it wasn't such a bad day. Now when I think of that day, I don't even remember what I was frustrated about but I do remember the guy's smile! It's them little things......

UP
(With the Little Things)

 

Wake Up

Clean Up

Dress Up

Warm Up

Drive Up

Throw your hands Up

It seems the only way to go is UP!

But what about when we want to give Up?

Do we ever look Up?

Do we ever ask Him for help?

Nah, we mostly just stand and yelp.

We fill our hearts with much nonsense

And leave little room for all those little things

Ya those little things thrown in our way

To help our day

The little things we often toss aside

Like mere interruptions sent as messages 

From way up in the sky

To tell us to slow down

And not let life slip on by

Grab hold when the Heavens throw down

Those little things to lift you up

The value of life may be hidden inside

Those little things we like to ignore

And keep us up tight 

As we keep up the fight

Another moment lost in selfish ways

This is not how we should spend our days

So pay attention to those little things that tug your heart

It is what keeps us and Him apart

The only thing we should be raising up

Is our heart to God who loves us so

Before you dress up and go

Look up!

And enjoy a cup of everlasting love 

From above!

Mathew 11:28 Come to me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest
