Rest in ME

"My child" said HE who has no form,

“Just come and rest in ME, 

I'll give you comfort like none else

And show MY power to thee.”


I followed Him as close I could

Uncertain, where He’d lead

But knowing I could only trust

This answer to my plead.


This ONE, who made the worlds from naught,

Why would HE let me down?

He only can do GOOD to all

Rewarding, with a crown.


And so, I daily take a step

To follow  in His way

Encouraged by His constant love

Poured upon me each day.






Composed after reading the following on a MeWE page

DEAR LORD

Dear Lord please hear my prayer
I need your help right now
I feel hurt everywhere
I want to feel better and don’t know how

I thought I could do it on my own
I thought I could get by
This pain is like one I’ve never known
However all I do is cry

Please heal my broken heart
Please take away this pain
Direct me to a new start
Let me be better once again

I know you have a plan for me
Only You know what I need
Guide me to where I’m to be
Let my heart no longer bleed

I turn this over to you Lord
May I do what pleases thee
For You are mightier than the sword
You alone can heal me.

I’m doing my best to live my life for You
Although at times I let you down
You know what I’ve been through
I know Your love is all around

Give me the strength to move forward
To continue sharing Your love
May I be able to share Your word
Let others know that we are all loved up above.

Christmas Past

Gifts of gold, incense and myrrh For that baby lying there Were not gifts without much thought, Significant references, they brought. GOLD , for riches of a king, Of properties e'erlasting ring, To celebrate the Kingly birth, Who came as man upon the earth. FRANKINCENSE came from the east For th'annointing of a priest, This babe, a Prophet, Priest and King, Eternal life for all to bring. MYRRH was given, though bitter it's taste, Preparing for the death to be faced, The purpose of His life, - the Cross, To save the world from eternal loss. The media bombard with ads., Pushing forth the latest fads, The parents now seem under stress, They're spending more, though giving less. Oh to live in bygone days Though cash was scarce, with less in pays, The children, then, were quite content And knew what Christmas really meant

I love you dad.

    I told my dad, while on his bed, assuming he did sleep, In hospital, [ he'd not come home ] with tears my eyes did weep, “I love you dad” Then hugged him tight, while feebly he replied “I.............love...............you................too..............son” THAT’S the thing I cherish, since he died. With forty years age difference, while young, we were not close. He wasn't very tactile and nor was he verbose, But as we aged, did closer grow, in ways he’d show his love, We’ll meet again, don’t know the ‘when’, – the ‘where’? – in Heaven above. I then went out to my car after this and bawled my eyes out at having had this special moment.
