Christmas story

In a world, so full, of darkness, we were all looking for some light

For someone, Who could turn  the pages and make everything, all alright

Our petitions were raised up daily and our prayers were soaring  High

The ALmighty responded to our petitioning and descended the Heavenly Sky

So we saw Him inside of a manger where animals and wild ones would graze 

God came to us as One of His answers: a Great Miracle for all of our days

He sent to us His Most Precious treasure:  His only Son, as  pathway  to Him

He would save us, from all of our darkness and the clutches of evilness and sin

So hidden beneath all of this  apparel:  of flesh and bone and breath

God came to us,like us so mortal..He was unable to take His first step

He started  off like all of us had started: so cold and helpless and Light

But would grow up  completely rejected and would ultimately give up His  Life

So whie we are, all,  out there celebrating with  laughter and love and   giving 

Let us not wander too far  from the story, of Christmas; and its real beginning

We are all part of the story of Jesus; and the story of all that's  to come

Let us be grateful for moments of celebration and appreciate what's been done

True treasures

There's beautiful skies and beautiful seas

Land all around to bless you and me

But of all of these beauties  and all of this grace

Which of these treasures will  hold you in place

We have countries of splendor and bars made of gold

Countless or travels on which we've been sold

Malls made for shopping and online stores too

But which of these outlets can satisfy you?

We buy all of the gadgets and have all the new

We have Iphones and Ipads and houses..it's true

Our bling is so sparkly..  our houses overflow

With all that we have, here; there's something to know

That  nothing we purchase and nothing we can buy

Can top what's been given from our God by and by

Everything's passing and everything will  end

But what God has given will always extend

Our families our frienships and all  formed out of time

Like verses will be written with great  rhythm and rhyme

Continuing through centuries and not costing us a dime

Let's value these treasures, this Thanksgiving time

Happy Thanksgiving .. thank you Lord for all you have given us.

Be thankful

 Be thankful you're breathing and walking around

That when you are sleeping you're not on the ground

Be thankful for sunshine, for winter, and  rain

For good times, for bad times and even some pain

Be thankful for lodging  for big homes or small

For nourishing nutrients and blessings that fall

Be thankful for dark times,  the moonlights and sun

Be thankful, be thankful for each and everyone

And, finally,  be thankful for whoever you are

You don't need to sparkle or be like some  star

Just be for each moment God's vessel of love

And always be thankful for all of your stuff

It just takes a moment

Golden leaves fill up the trees

While gentle coolness rides the breeze

Softly speaking,  Autumn tries

To bring her beauty before  our eyes

The time is, now, nearing for our earth

To settle down inside of her rebirth

Quietly changing ..transforming too

Each season can do this for me and you

Seasons will come and they will go

But each one is   different as you know

All are so beautiful and all can rhyme

In beautiful verse that fills our mind

How to embrace it:  the  autumn's gold..

So much is inside of those  leaves so old

Secret  solutions, inside of   the breeze

Reflecting an Image that one one sees

We can tottaly miss it: the beauty outside

If we continue to burrow ourselves and hide

Inside of our media and inside of our net..

Let's promise to explore it ..if just, for  a bit

God has the answer

Times are so challenging, this, we can see

But this shouldn't shake us up: shake you or me

Because we all know this . .and this is our truth: 

God is watching over  us:  watching:  me and you

Wars are arising and some streets are on fire

Some are  being led by some selfish desire

Cost of our living and the things being high

Has made us all question it : why, oh Lord, why?

Take a few  moments  and take a little time

conside each syllable of this  poorly written rhyme

We must, all ,  consider this and turn it  around

All of this disunity is making  unhappy ground

Having our differences and having our way

Is so very human like and it's really okay 

But we shouldn't be pushing it pushing our thing

When it won't be a solution to solve anything

We all have our crazinesses.. our sanities too

Which make us so different ..so beautiful it's true

We shouldn't be upset then or make it our goal

To turn everbody into some prefect mold

Pray for our countries, then and pray for all times

Which see us all struggling with unquestionable lines

Of homelessness and families who can't even unit

God has  the answer if we're willing to try 

Slow your hurried-ness

Through the air that fills our lungs

Through  creation's cryptic tongues

We can experience it.. feel His way

God is loving us... every day

In the elements, in  the breeze

In the grass  and dancing  trees

God is encouraging us to and fro

Directing us  guiding us: where to go

Not with a noisiness or a crowd 

God keeps teaching us:  not out loud

But with quietness  gentle.,,still

The Ominoptent Creator  inside our will

Slow your hurried-ness slow your pace

Allow yourself some time for grace

Nothing much needed, now.. just a space

God will enter it with His embrace
