240115 Need More?

Need More?

This noise level sounds like a riot
I need more quiet
My house is full, I have enough
Don't need more stuff

Too early for the birds to cheep
I need more sleep
"To Do" list's driving me berserk 
Don't need more work

My troubles make it hard to cope
I need more hope
World's sadness is beyond belief
Don't need more grief

Not finished before the deadline 
I need more time
Seems life can become quite a mess
Don't need more stress

Can't handle all this by myself
I need more help
Why do my joints all ache again
Don't need more pain

Loneliness has brought me to wit's end
I need my friends
When extra pounds make waist protrude
Don't need more food

Need ones who fit me like a glove
I need more love
Seems everything's up for debate 
Don't need more hate

When other's actions I 
despise 
I need new eyes
When sin has called me out by name
Don't need more shame

Appears for my life to succeed 
There's much I do and do not need
But if I face reality
That really is a fallacy 
For honestly it comes down to
One thing I need to get me through
Though things I want, to make life nice
The only thing I need is Christ

He's friend, he's love, he's calm and peace
He's comforter when I feel grief
He's hope, he's joy, protector, king
Don't need more; he's my everything

Matthew 6:25
Therefore, I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?

Philippians 4:19
And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus 

2 Corinthians 9:8
Psalms 68:19, 84:11, 116:5

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...

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 st...

241210 'Tis the Season

  'Tis the Season  'Tis the season to be jolly With mistletoe, pine boughs, and holly Yet, what if jolly's not your mood  But melancholy, you exude What if the carols in the air Remind you of someone not there Or crackling fire's bright light and heat Can't chase the cold of empty seat What if season's not full of thrills But full of lack and unpaid bills Though sugarplums fill your kid's head You know they'll get little instead  Perhaps in place of peace, good will You have a loved one very ill So thoughts don't turn to season's din But doctors visits, medicines While others have house full of guests All you have though is loneliness  The kids have grown and moved away So it's not the same holiday How blessed if season's joyous one But it is not for everyone  For most December brings good cheer For some, it's hardest time of year Whatever circumstance you claim The Christmas message's still the same That hope came through a baby...
