 Marcia's Poem of the Week 12.17.2023 “TRIUMPHAL ENTRY” 

Matthew 21:6-9 / 6 The two disciples did as Jesus commanded. 7 They brought the donkey and the colt to him and threw their garments over the colt, and he sat on it. 8 Most of the crowd spread their garments on the road ahead of him, and others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. 9 Jesus was in the center of the procession, and the people all around him were shouting, “Praise God for the Son of David!   Blessings on the one who comes in the name of the Lord!  Praise God in the highest heaven!”


“TRIUMPHAL ENTRY” Matthew 21:6-9

The Lord's Triumphal Entry emerges,
As a distinguished red-carpet scene,
Where waving live palm branches,
Celebrate Jesus as Lord and King.

Waved palms were laid in His path,
Where garments were also thrown down,
And the people shouted His praises at last,
As Jesus rode the colt through the town.

This was a most memorable moment,
That was observed for all mankind,
For He opposed corrupt management,
And put the fear of evil and death behind.

For the coming of your Lord and King,
Brings forgiveness and life-eternal,
And gives hope beyond all thinking,
To end both corruption and the carnal.

His aim is filled with love and purity,
He came so you'd know your King,
He redeems your sins and gives posterity,
That'll make your heart and soul sing.

For your Lord was sent to go before,
As a self proclaimed overcomer,
He came to save His people forevermore,
Where we'll all reign together forever.

Poem of the week for my great grandsons, Jeremiah, Tobiah and Elijah. Mark 9:36-37 NLT 36 Then he put a little child among them. Taking the child in his arms, he said to them,  37 “Anyone who welcomes a little child like this on my behalf welcomes me, and anyone who welcomes me welcomes not only me but also my Father who sent me.”

“WELCOME HIM”

Oh, be still my beating heart,
For Jesus is coming today,
And as He comes to my town,
He'll be riding a colt on the way.

And I'll happily sing and worship,
As each leaf lays under my feet,
And be thankful for hope and purpose,
Because He makes my life complete.

I'll let my family and friends know,
They'll want to see him too,
And I will wear my spiderman suit,
Along with my favorite shoes.

I'll let the Lord be in control,
As I sit quietly at His feet,
His words are food for my soul,
And His songs of love are sweet.

  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
