Marcia's Poem of the Week 8.19.2022

 Marcia's Poem of the week 8/19/2022 

DO A GOOD DEED Titus 2:11-14 NLT 11 For the grace of God has been revealed, bringing salvation to all people. 12 And we are instructed to turn from godless living and sinful pleasures. We should live in this evil world with wisdom, righteousness, and devotion to God, 13 while we look forward with hope to that wonderful day when the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, will be revealed. 14 He gave his life to free us from every kind of sin, to cleanse us, and to make us his very own people, totally committed to doing good deeds. 

DO A GOOD DEED

God's still small voice speaks for you,

Should yours be seized by silence,
God's word, like eyes sees for you,
Should yours be skirted by blindness.


God's word like legs will walk for you,
Whenever yours grow weak,
God's word like hands will up-lift you,
Making His power in you complete.


God's word will give you new energy,

Strengthening your growth day by day,
God's word quenches you when thirsty,
Lest you dry up and wither away.


God's word will set your mind at ease.

Should your belief wane or fray,
God's word will build-up your esteem,
Should you be beset by a willful way.


Make time to read God's Word.

It holds the purest form of peace,
His words are truths you've heard,
Devoting you to doing good deeds.

Poem of the week for my great grandson's Jeremiah, Tobiah and Elijah.

DO A GOOD DEED

You are taught to be quiet,
When you get to loud,
At times you run in the house,
When you are not allowed,

And times you don't share,
Or, you want to play alone,
But brother is sitting there,
And wants to play along,

Sharing is hard to learn,
But you are so very smart,
And giving brother a turn,
Shows love from your heart,

Love is shown through play,
And by giving to each other,
Brother learns the way,
To be kind to one another,

Thus, everywhere you turn,
God's power will sustain you,
And create a loving pattern,
From every good deed you do.

  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
