231110 How Did I Get Here?

How Did I Get Here?


How did I get here? I don't know

Seemed sometimes fast, other times slow

Though, does not matter what the pace

Still wonder how came to this place


How did I reach this point in time?

Reality of it's so sublime

For most of journey was uphill

Through hard fought land, yet, I'm here still


How did I get from there to here?

In baby steps year after year?

Know sometimes how I reached this place

Was through tremendous leaps of faith


But, other times, through missteps went

To places that I never meant

Through valleys deep or forests dark

Through turbulent waters full of shark


Yet, oh, so many times I've found

That when I stop to look around 

The sun is shining on my face

And I am in a lovely place


A place with lush, green, rolling hills

With irises and daffodils 

A place of rest, peace, and beauty 

Exactly where I want to be


I've found as I trek on my way

Sometimes have both in the same day

Day can begin as walk in park

Then suddenly turn very dark

Or start out with a sense of dread

But end with loveliness instead


No matter how reached where I am

Through easy roads or traffic jam

There's one thing I am certain of

I'm always guided from above


Yes, God has always been my guide

Jesus with me, Spirit inside

And even when I get off track

My Lord will always lead me back


Teaching me lessons 'long the way

Molding me gently every day 

Knowing I'm where I'm supposed to be 

On my way to eternity


So, as I keep on journeying

No matter what each day does bring

I praise God for each one so dear

Knowing that He has put me here


Jeremiah 29:11

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for your welfare and not evil, to give you hope and a future 


Psalm 121:8

The LORD will keep your going out and your coming in for this time forth and forevermore 


Proverbs 3:5-6, 16:9

Psalm 23:4

240606 The Word You Use

 T he Words You Use Be careful 'bout the words you use For words can injure; words can bruise Be careful 'bout the things you say For hurtful words, one's soul can slay It's not just words you use, but tone For tone has meaning all its own And if you've raised a teenage child You know their tone's what drives you wild The words you use carry such weight To express love or start debate For kind words can be source of life But biting words breed only strife A loving word makes someone's day Like honey, are kind words you say Yet, angry words, spoken in haste Will only leave a bitter taste  Don't know 'bout you, but I feel bad If speak unkind because I'm mad And though I'm sorry in the end Know they can't be unheard again Repaired relations come with price Won't have to pay if just talked nice The damage is already done  Though the word battle you have won The Word says tongue's a two edged sword  And words once said can't be ign...

240531 In the Garden

In the Garden In my garden I find peace From all the troubles thrown my way My breathing slows, tensions release When digging in the dirt and clay To garden does not feel like toil Or work that I am forced to do It's joy to feel my hands in soil To grow things and watch life renew The weeds don't even make me pout Imagine each one as a care I pluck them up and throw them out Now gone as if we're never there What joy to watch new sprouts appear From bulbs I planted in the fall Their blooms filling my heart with cheer The tulips, daffodils, and all Each early morn while there's still dew And sun has just begun to rise I rush to see what sprouted new Each leaf and bud a sweet surprise  Then, carefully, I tend each one A little water, proper soil The right amount of shade or sun Such pleasant work, nothing can spoil You all are truly gardeners, too  A fact that perhaps you don't know You're sowing things by what you do And also reaping what you grow For when you pla...
