The Eyes of the World

The eyes of the world behold...

Why?

The eyes 

Of the world

Behold the bad and 

not the good.

Why?

Moon and Stars

Time moving slowly
second by second
days exhaust their
usefulness early
without cause I 
readily await the
Moon shining with
artwork of stars and
constellations above
delight to show God's
handiwork and sing
praise for starlight
giving wonderous
sparkle in the skies.

But with dawning of
new day, time must
wander as the day's
ever increasing trek
follows Sun's slow
paces with weariness
awaiting Moon's bright
glow and ascension
with brightness and
constellations cause
great gladness to God.

Honor and What It Means

I was thinking about the word honor and how we as individuals view it. Wikipedia states honour (American spelling honor) is an abstract concept entailing a perceived quality of worthiness and respectability that affects both the social standing and the self-evaluation of an individual or institution such as a family, school, regiment or nation.I felt honor even when my daughter was graduated with Honors, receiving her Masters Degree last year. I felt honor because I had instilled the characteristics that she needed throughout her lifetime to achieve honor. 

Honor can be used as a noun, adjective, and verb so it has multiple uses but these all point to high regard or esteem that you recognize or bestow to someone. Honor has a close relationship with the word, integrity,an honorable word showing character. According to Wikipedia, "integrity is the qualification of being honest and having strong moral principles, or moral uprightness. It is generally a personal choice to hold oneself to consistent moral and ethical standards." It is my opinion that we as a society use the words honor and integrity, frivolously not bestowing the honor due these words.  The poem was written yesterday to honor Earth Day.   Susans Soul...

Just Imagine

Just Imagine

Just imagine a world full of peace. No wars, no terrorists, no bombings or shooting. No violence of any kind against man, beast, or nature. Just imagine the world like this. Is it possible?

Not as long as the world is run by Satan and Evil. But just imagine it. Peaceful leaders, peaceful politicians, peaceful bosses, peaceful families. No infighting or abuse of any kind. Just peace and joy and happiness and rejoicing.

Communities that love other communities and share amongst themselves the resources each has. Just imagine no poverty, no discrimination, no evil competition.

Just imagine that we could live in the world like this. Is it possible? If we each try to impact one other person with kindness and love rather than indifference and hatred, it is possible. But the first step has to come from you.

You see, it's a mindset, an attitude, a life of peace. It's all inclusive. Will you join me? Doesn't it sound enticing? Don't you long for peace, happiness, kindness, joy, rejoicing? Who could show us the way? Could God show it to us?

Are you willing to risk coming to know God so that you can see if He and His Word are real, living in peace and harmony. Loving and unity are part of the equation.

Just imagine that you wake up tomorrow and find all this to be true. Just imagine. Can you?

As we head into the busy holiday of Holy Week for Easter, find time to relieve your stress by stopping for a little bit of time to read a poem, listen to a song, or meditate or pray. Then, you will be refreshed again.

Reflections (A Vignette)

I

Reflections of light and sun peer through my window. Glimmering colors appear as sparkling arrays of diamonds and rubies as sun’s shining rays peek through. Each glimmer reminds me of hope’s last vestments seen. I celebrate this light show a creative sun source of beauty.

II

Reflections appear as freeze frames of past experiences. Deja vu frames dressed in innocence and light. Future hopes are clothed in colors of pinks and lavenders. Hope reminisces about past and present moments and attaches herself to an assurance of the future.

III

What is to become of the sights, sounds, and smells of my freeze frame events? Will the sights remain while the sounds and smells disappear? I can hear sounds of nature. The rustling of breezes through the autumn leaves. The quiet sound of blossoms falling as the cool chills the air. The smell of lavender and roses permeate my mind as I encounter the changing season’s beauty.

IV

Reflections of past, present, and future mingle with all of the sights, sounds and perfumes of the garden. Autumn’s morning crispness conspires with Summer’s memories to prolong the experiences of my mind’s eye as I beckon to these experiences to allow me communion with God’s glorious creation and His being. A song of joy fills my heart and bursts forth as praises to the Creator.

Poetic and Mezmerizing Questions

This I found on Google Plus It's a 9 min video of the universe set to fabulous music/acoustics. I'm telling you don't miss this... it is mesmerizing. The question that came to mind is, if God created Heaven and Earth, did He create the universe and galaxies that we can view by special equipment and Hubble Telescope? And if He did, is there Biblical evidence-based scripture and verse please? Susans Soul

Gratitude

God is so good. I woke up this morning feeling blessed by Him and realized that I don't give him enough gratitude and thanks for His daily presence in my life.

G-R-A-T-I-T-U-D-E

Getting up this morning
Radiant sunshine today,
All God's blessing He bestows.
Tough times to mold me, lessons learned,
Indwelling of the Holy Spirit as my guide.
Triumph when I think the battle beats me.
Unbelievable miracles in my life.
Dwelling on earth awaiting My Savior's return.
Eternal life given by His Grace.
