DANDELIONS




                           

Dandelions




                                                      Every morning as I gather my thoughts,
                                                      Listening for The Holy Spirit’s Words.
                                                      I sit across to my Prayer Altar, 
                                                      Staring out of my window in wonder.

                                                      Today, I did not start my ritual early,
                                                      But that was because of busy-busy me.
                                                      I took care of everything and came here
                                                      For my precious Holy Spirit encounter.

                                                      Then looking through the window as I sat
                                                      I saw the yellow garnish on the grassy mat
                                                      Dandelions in full bloom conversing in sunshine
                                                      Radiant yellow brilliant and so fine

                                                      The bane of every Gardener
                                                      And the pain of every Homeowner
                                                      These yellow beauties are not so bad
                                                      And they are no reason to get mad

                                                      Roses have thorns and  fragrant beauty
                                                      Sweet honey comes with a stinging Bee
                                                      But the Lord in Creation made all good
                                                      Even poison can be made into food

                                                      Dandelions though classified as weeds
                                                      Cater to some medicinal needs
                                                      Also, the leaves do garnish some salads
                                                      Nourishing well-honed nutrition fads

                                                      I pray that the wisdom of God’s Creation
                                                      Will come to me in His gracious revelation. 
                                                      Lord, let my day proceed with open eyes
                                                      In humble grace under your open skies.

                                                      Amen & Amen

Beyond Rabbits, Candles and Cakes.

O nly God knows in totality. (Omniscience). He knows what is, and that which is yet to come. Beyond the memories and the historical records, He knows what was, and even beyond eternity past. I spent a quiet Resurrection Sunday, reflecting on the immensity of the Christ Gospel. I found confirmation again, that beyond what the human mind could ever fathom, dwells the simple and gentle all powerful eternal truth of the Christ o s. When three Magi tracked the celestial omen in the night sky for many years, when they, taking advisement from the Angelic hosts were able to circumvent the plots of Herod, king and assassin, there was a Divine fiat established out of Heaven the Mission control Center for the Prince of Heaven’s journey into the midst of mankind (Immanuel).            Predicted in Psalm 91 and used by Satan at our Lord’s temptation (He shall give His Angels charge over thee), we see that snapshots of this Divine entrance had been placed with key players

Adieu 2014

Image
        As the year 2014 quietly faded into the celestial archive to which all years eventually go, I became conscious of the presence of God. I have progressively, by His grace grown in sensing His presence over the years. By His Spirit, God makes His presence felt.                    The writers of the Books of the Holy Bible, inspired by this same presence, gave us so much insight into how the presence may be sought. I spent the last few days of 2014, seeking the face of God even more intensely. Why do this ? Knowing that 2014 was going to fade into memory, without a residue. It was necessary to ride the transition on a more concrete assurance of the presence of God, than on a fading memory. The Holy Spirit was my comfort through the fast fading year, and He will still be the lifter of my head in 2015!           In the Book of Romans, this same Spirit of God, moved Paul to write in verses 27 & 28 of Chapter 8:              "And He that searcheth the hearts knoweth w

A Day the Lord Has made

A BRIGHT NEW DAY  Everyday we wake up in bed, is a  new opportunity. We may have brought some old stuff through the night as we tossed and turned, However  in all reality, the day is new because the rays of the new day's sun bathe everything in a new perspective which demands a new reality. In my book  A BRIGHT NEW DAY,   I explore this paradigm to great lengths. We all need to see each day as a fresh opportunity, full of potential. Then, we have a chance to use the building blocks we have to a greater advantage and a successful outcome. So, how do we plan to use this insight? FIRST Go to bed with expectation. Tomorrow is going to present a fresh start. A better approach and a wiser choice. The mistakes, the misteps, the misunderstandings of today were meant to clarify certain issues and lead us into the paths of righteousness. They are not meant to be repeated and even if we repeat them, we should by now have a sensitivity to notice the error quicker than before. In other words we
