Marcia's Poem of the Week 5 27 2022 “A GLIMPSE OF BELIEF”

I drove my Mother to an appointment. We were passing a church with a huge stained glass window of Jesus sitting in a scene surrounded by nature. My Mother pointed at the window and said, "I talk to Him everyday." I then knew she believed and my heart was warmed. 

Sunday's scripture reference was Psalm 19:1-4 “For the choir director: A psalm of David. 1. The heavens proclaim the glory of God. The skies display his craftsmanship. 2. Day after day they continue to speak; night after night they make him known. 3. They speak without a sound or word; their voice is never heard. 4. Yet their message has gone throughout the earth, and their words to all the world.”

A GLIMPSE OF BELIEF    Psalm 19: 1-4

A church was on the corner, 

Of a street where Mother lived, 

She never went there ever, 

To worship or to give.

 

But she pointed up at Jesus, 

On the stained-glass window there,

In belief that His spirit's purpose, 

Would bring love and faith to share.

 

As the stained-glass displayed, 

God's creation for all to see, 

Flowers in every color bloomed, 

By a stream under a shade tree.

 

The Lord's face in a warm glow, 

Shone bright under blue skies,

And the sun-rays from the window,

Glistened in my Mother's eyes.

---------

God's creation is on every corner,

His sun-rays glisten into each eye,

His warm glow is for every sinner,

And will bring love and faith alive.

 

Begin living in God's creation, 

Believe He is always the same, 

Accept His love as a precondition,

To cleansing you of every stain.

Poem of the week by Marcia for my great grandsons: Jeremiah, Tobiah and Elijah

 TIME TO BELIEVE

Families are decreed by God, 

As the best gift God has to give, 

They make you who you are, 

And show you how to live.

 

Children are given parents, 

To love with their heart, 

Parents are given children, 

To love from the start.

 

The world is God's excellence, 

All of life comes from Him, 

He keeps His watch over us, 

Making our place, herein.

 

All creation is about living, 

No matter what you do, 

The Lord does all the giving, 

For creation and for you.

 

It's God's plan we'll inherit, 

It's His Son that gives new life,

When we receive His Holy Spirit,  

He'll guide us to do things right.

  Poem of the Week by Marcia 9/24/2021   “ONE WHO SERVES” Reflection on 1 Samuel 16:7 “But the Lord said to Samuel, do not consider his appearance or his height for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at things people look at; people look at the outward appearance but the Lord looks at the heart.” And on , Luke 22:27 “For who is greater, the one who is at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who is at the table? But I am among you as the one who serves.”   “ ONE WHO SERVES”   Each En-Gedi God creates, Where a servant is assigned, Is to exemplify integrity, And bring unity to mankind.   To pray for those that serve, Is a joy and privilege, For the nature of a call, Is to love and encourage.   For together we are stronger, And together we are one, For God loves His people, And leads us through His Son.   Where we learn His holy word, And receive His Spirit's peace, We are sealed by His blood, Where fear and worry

  Marcia's Poem of the Week Reflecting on Genesis 45:4, 5, & 9-11 “GOD WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU” Forgiveness is really difficult. But holding an unforgiving spirit can make one sick. This story was one of the best stories for me to understand that God shows us how forgiveness works. Joseph could have been angry with his brothers and with God. And who could blame him. How many times have you been angry with God or someone else? Joseph was able to see that God's work took time. You can be sure that when you are hurting God is working to make things right. Talk to God, be patient, wait and watch Him work. God will take care of you.  In Genesis 45 we can read how God took care of Joseph and his family. Genesis 45: 4 “Please, come closer,” he said to them. So they came closer. And he said again, “I am Joseph, your brother, whom you sold into slavery in Egypt. 5. But don’t be upset, and don’t be angry with yourselves for selling me to this place. It was God who sent me here a
