231216 Trust

 Trust

We trust the chair will hold our weight

We trust the trains will not run late

We trust our brakes will never fail

Trust when you say, "check's in the mail."

We trust those we know most closely 

We trust salsa and chips come free

We trust our plane can take to flight

Trust chef before we take a bite

We trust our friend's no secret spreader

Trust medicines to make us better

We trust those other drivers, too

Will stop at red light, not speed through 

Perhaps we shouldn't trust these things

A lack of trust though, worry brings

For when we're not the trusting kind

We're always fearful things aren't fine

So much in life we take on faith

But, is our trust in the wrong place?

For things can break and trust can too

When someone close has betrayed you

To trust no one's no place to be

Yet, must be placed in what's worthy

For broken trust's hard to forget

So, what to trust that's a safe bet?

The one to trust that's always true

Is the one who created you

Can put your trust in Lord above

For all he does, he does with love

God says, trust every word I say

Same today, tomorrow, yesterday 

No word I speak will ever fail

My divine will shall e're prevail 

So, trust the Lord, for he's worthy

Then his peace will replace worry

Your life's secure within his hands

For you can trust his perfect plans


Proverbs 3:5

Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding 

Psalm 56:3

When I am afraid, I put my trust in you

Hebrews 13:8

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday  and today and forever 

Jeremiah 29:11

Isaiah 26:3-4

Philippians 4:6-7

Psalm 40:4, 118:8

240129 Feelings

Feelings Oh, those pesky feelings How they do get in the way I really don't feel like Doing anything today  I'm not really feeling it Is something I might say When adult responsibility  Is simply what's at play  I'll do that later on, perhaps When I feel in the mood And so put off important things  And not do things I should  My feelings can be fickle things One moment up; next down Can walk around with smiling face Which quickly turns to frown Too often, I give up control  To other's words and deeds Allowing feelings to be hurt And anger to proceed  And oh, how Satan loves to use Emotions that I feel To have me buy into his lies Believing they are real Then, acting on those feelings Oh, so quickly, without thought Bypassing close analysis  Not acting as I ought Of course, God gave us feelings We are not just some A.I. For suppressing all emotion  Is like living in a lie But balance between heart and mind Is how we hold the key To living with...

240528 Choose Joy

  Choose Joy Whenever there's a choice to make Let joy be path you choose to take When love and hate are on the scale Let love be one that does prevail When anger - patience doth compete And people we tend to mistreat It's said we sow in what we reap So, sow in patience- temper keep When circumstances bring you down And all you want to do is frown Choose happiness instead, my friend Then soon you'll see your sadness end I know it's easier said than done Often more battles devil's won But get back up and try some more  For after all, God's won the war Choose kindness 'stead of getting back Instead of shortness, practice tact With every godly choice you make The devil's grip begins to break With practice, then quite soon you'll see Good choices come more easily Thus, love and joy will conquer strife Becoming hallmark of your life

240125 Let Others Do It

Let Others Do It Don't really want to put self through it And so I'll just let others do it I'm certain it's too hard for me Sure others can more easily  Don't want to put the effort in Thus, wait for others to begin Not my responsibility  So, really don't depend on me No interest in taking the lead So, wait for others to proceed Though help is needed for a task Don't have the time, so please don't ask Need someone to sit on committee  Look anywhere, but don't look at me I have no interest in the least Besides, don't have the expertise  Ever notice when there's work to do It's often left to just a few The others somehow must be lead Or they'll just stand around instead Perhaps they are a lazy lot  That might be true, but it might not For certainly, there's those that shirk Responsibility and work For some, it's lack of confidence  So initiating makes them tense A fear that they may not succeed Disables them, so don't proce...
