Karma

While you sit there with that smirk looking smile upon your face,

You have no idea how silly it makes you look to those who have to see it  from a distance.

While you think you may have stomped your way to the top into the glory land,

Let me be the one to tell you now, you've only made it only possible that you're the one no one can stand.

I hope you have found a way to be at peace with your choices you've made with your hidden agenda's,

Because I know the truth and what you are really are underneath all that fake magenta's.

You may be able to get up each morning a paint your face up and put on airs to those who don't know,

But to me I know you're only putting on a puppet show.

I only hope before it's too late that you find it in your soul, to know the wrong it is you're doing,

Because what you have in your heart is nothing but the devil brewing.

And if it keeps going you'll soon find that God will show you how he deals with these types of bearings,

Karma is a bad thing when it finds it's way around the world and knocks upon your door.

And I'm afraid that soon you'll hear those knocks come down upon you like a hundreds year war.
Because with those that have evil buried deep in the bottom of the soul like yours it's impossible to break their seal of fate.
All you have for show is a fake smile and a bunch of lies, but those who know the truth, know your full of hate.
Like a rose who's petals have blackened from the sun,
This is one time Karma my friend you will never out run.

Psalm 41:8

An evil disease, say they,

 cleaveth fast unto him: 

and now that he lieth he shall rise up no more.

Where do you want to go?

I want to see the world but not through the eyes of others,
I would travel the would if I had my druthers.
From the isles of the oceans blue,
To the mountain tops to see the glorious view.
I want to spin the Vegas wheels once more before I go,
I want to walk across the large bridges of China I only see on a television show.

I would love to the the arts of Michelangelo especially on the Sistine Chapel ceiling,

I know this would be some kind of beautiful feeling.

But until that day comes I'll have to settle for the TV, internet, or others photo streams
But one day I'll see what it its I want to see if is only in my dreams.
We all have many choice in our live to make and choose them wisely,
Because you don't want to wake up one morning and find your life is gone and you've not accomplished anything you thought you would have.
Do what you can while you can because life is short and tomorrow is never promised,
So live you live like you want it, let all do it honest.

Psalm 104:33

I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live:

 I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.

Psalm 146:2

 While I live will I praise the LORD: 

I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.

How much do you give thanks?

Today I hear the rain and feel pain,

Tomorrow all may be well and there will be no strain.

You never know from day to day what you will feel or if you'll be impaired,

I'm thankful this isn't something that can be shared.

I'm just thankful I've found a way to cope with the agony when it approaches,

A lot of players of sports will hear things like this from their coaches.

You've just got to push through the pain and make it to the end,

The one thing I find that helps me the most is a true friend.

I thank him daily for all he gives me and the things I have and all I have to do is pray.

Because what if you woke up tomorrow and was told you could only have the things you thanked God for yesterday?

How many people or things would you have left in your life?

This will give you something to think about especially if  your a husband or wife.

So never spend one day without a thank you for what you have no matter how small you may think it may be,

Because tomorrow it may be gone for you to never see.

1 Chronicles 23:30

 And to stand every morning 

to thank and praise the LORD, 

and likewise at even:

Stop being child like...

How many people do you know that still crave attention as if to be child like?

When you were a child this was allowed because this was expected as you were a tyke.

Now that you're grown up start acting like you are and put away those childish ways.

This may come over you like a morning haze.

Now more than ever we need to have self integrity, just in case you have know idea what that means let me give you some examples:

  We were not put on earth to talk about others and their faults because we       all have them.

  When we take a job we are there to work not surf the web for most of the day play games for the other half, spend more time getting out of working than what our job is to actually do.

   We should treat everyone, from the poorest of poor to the richest of rich the same, no matter the way they my look or act.

   We should quit using excuses for everything you've done wrong and own up to your mistakes because we've all made them, that's why God sent Jesus to die for us on he cross.

    We need to take personal accountability for ourselves and stop making excuses for everything out there and do what's right.
     God may be speaking to you to do things don't tell him you don't have time, give him the time he deserves because you want him to drop everything and be there when your in need.

   

While I know some of these may offend or make someone mad or even find that they hit a little bit too close to home for you but if that be the case them maybe it is you that needs to make the most changes. 

We must remember we cannot change others the only ones that we can change is ourselves and until we begin changing ourselves will we see the change we need to see in others.

So as the bible says while a child act like a child when you are no longer a child then grow up and take responsibility for your actions and your childish ways.

1 Corinthians 13:11

 When I was a child,

 I spake as a child,

 I understood as a child, 

I thought as a child:

 but when I became a man,

 I put away childish things.

What do you see..

What do you see when you look down this river so gray,

You get to imagine any color or beauty or sounds it may say.

While the water flows over each rock with vigorous force it's almost like a song,

One that can be hear through out the winter day long.

Even though there's not color for you to view,

I left it that way for you to see and enjoy with respect to.

While some may see the winter's blackness of the deadened trees,

Others may see left over colors from leaves,

No matter what you choose to see know that its your choice to view and enjoy,

For this is one time this is the real mccoy.

With peace of each passing day use this as a looking point for a great imagination,

And let it be the explanation you need for translation.

Psalm 107:33

 He turneth rivers into a wilderness,

 and the watersprings into dry ground;

Have you been here?

Have you ever found yourself alone down by the river,

Thinking of things you've done or things you've almost done that'd make you shiver?

The longer you spend there alone, with time to think and think about time long forgotten,

Just remember that also just as quick as those this have been done while you were down trotted.

God has a sure fire way to forgive you of all and everything as if it never happened,

Even the things you've found that have to this day gotten you saddened.

We all have at one time or another done things we need to ask for forgiveness,

For in this world there is no one perfect and no one can do perfectness.

Anyone who professes that they have never done no wrong, well I'd have to question their cause,

Because there is no way to live without sin nor have sinful thoughts or flaws.

But know that everyone has their own faults and blunders,

Which make each of us unique in our own way and wonders.

Colossians 1:14

 In whom we have redemption through his blood,

 even the forgiveness of sins:

Time

We use time for many things to keep up with the moment of the day,

We use time for when we have to be some where right away.
We use time when we are waiting on life to come into this world,
And also that same time will take end a life and send you in a swirl.
The bible God tells us I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
We all know at one point in time our time is going to come to an end an we'll have to leave when he comes to ask.
We need to remember when this time comes as we stand there saddened and weeping it shouldn't be sad,
Because we should be rejoicing for the fact that your time on this earth is over and don't be mad.
The gate are wide, its your time to go join other that have gone on before,
While the flesh of the other are left here to mourn and to give account for.
This is the time when we must know while they are not here with us as a physical being,
We must know that they are always with us forever and this must feel so freeing.
Knowing they are now spending their ever lasting time on the streets of gold,
Make me want to give them praise because now they have something to behold.
So as hard as this time may be her on earth for the ones they've left to mourn,
Just remember that new crown they just received and now adorn.

John 14:1-4 “Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. And you know the way to where I am going.”

Romans 8:16-17 The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him.

2 Corinthians 5:6-8 So we are always of good courage. We know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord, for we walk by faith, not by sight. Yes, we are of good courage, and we would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord.

A time to heal...

When a loved one is taken from us it is not our place to ask why and be selfish to God will,

By questioning his reasons and playing the blame game with superior skill.

We are told in the bible that a merry heart cheerful countenance but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken,

We need to to as God tells us and as the word are spoken.

I know it take time to mend that broken heart and spirit that's left behind here on earth,

We must trust in Gods reason for what its worth

Make sure you read your bible for quality not for quantity.
It's what you get out of the few words you do read!

We need to offer up a simple prayer:

Thank you Father for always being there for me no matter what I have to face.  I know you will never fail me nor have you ever failed me. I may not have always understood why it is I have to go through certain things; however, I do have to understand, because you are God and you are in control in spite of my lack of understanding.  I know that all you require of me is to trust in you and to look to you for faith and you will come save me, and bring me an answer.  You always have, and you always will, because you are faithful and because your word promises me you will do so.  I know at time I have failed you , Lord, but even though I may have doubt and unbelief at times, you have never failed me.  Lord, please remove all the sorrow and grief I feel.  Heal this pain I feel in my heart  and help me trust you more.  Fill this empty place in my heart with more of your spirit.  I ask this in the name of the Lord, Jesus Christ, Amen

John 13:7

 Jesus answered and said unto him, 

What I do thou knowest not now; 

but thou shalt know hereafter.

Never Fail

Have you ever thought you've failed at something or given up on something just for that?

We never need give up nor abandon run away from the welcome mat.

For we have no other connection to any other person that believe is second chances,

Forgiveness, immunity, and graces that enhances. 

More than God and his promises of his written word, 

Nothing else out there has never been written, read and heard.

If at anytime you need a second chance for anything, a forgiveness for everything,

Just open it up begin to read and you will find what it is you needed to cling.

Trust in those written words and you'll never fail at anything you want to achieve,

Then it won't take long for you too to know and believe.

Joshua 1:5

There shall not any man be able 

to stand before thee all the days of thy life:

 as I was with Moses,

 so I will be with thee:

 I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.

2 Samuel 22:3

The God of my rock; 

in him will I trust:

 he is my shield, and the horn of my salvation,

 my high tower, and my refuge, my saviour;

thou savest me from violence.

Do we think or do we know

Many times we find ourselves sitting alone with nothing to do or just thinking about what to do,
With the new year finally here we all know we've promised ourselves many resolutions which will never brew.


We often find time on our hand where we find we think we have nothing to do when in fact we always have plenty of things we could do if we'd just set our minds to it.
We need to get closer to the word and become more fit.


I don't mean fit in the true form of the word it's mean as a metaphor in a sense that we need to get closer to the word of God and more physically fit so we can fight against the devilish ways that the world has become and the ways it has mad us conform to it's ways in order to live and work inside it just to make it in society today.


Take a long look around and you will notice that most of the prophecies of the Bible have already come true and no one know how much longer it will take for the rest of them to become reality as the others have.
We've always trusted and believed that God's word to be true and now is not the time to stop what we've known to be true and now more than ever we should believe and trust in the word as the world and it's ever changing ways have shown us that now is no time to turn our backs away from the reality of what it is capable of and what it has already handed us thus far.


We must always take things at face value remember what we are here for know we always have a way out with God's help and know He'll never, ever fail us in our time of need.

2 Peter 1:19

  We have also a more sure word of prophecy;

 whereunto ye do well that ye take heed,

 as unto a light that shineth in a dark place,

 until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:

2 Peter 1:21

 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man:

 but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.

Lonely or cold

The days grow shorter as winters bitter cold winds have set in,

We spend most of our days indoors to avoid the cold and it spin.

This is also the time of year we seem to see most of our loved ones pass on,

It more this time of year than any it seems that they choose to the glory gates to enter upon.

No one really knows if its the bitter coldness or just the loneliness that comes from no ones visit at this time,

No matter which it may be it is has become their time to begin the climb.

So let us remember that when the weather is cold and the nights are short,

We need to find that the drive is not only into our car port.

How many times have you said I'll go check on them tomorrow or next week,

Well I'll tell you now tomorrow never comes so to speak.

We need to visit the ones we love take care of the ones who has no one,

And when you find yourself in their place one day maybe this viscous cycle will be undone.

Job 10:12

 Thou hast granted me life and favour, 

and thy visitation hath preserved my spirit.

What do you see?

While walking down this path one day I noticed how much moss had grown over the fence rail all along the trail,

Most people would have thought this to be old, broken down and feeble and frail.

But I saw it as something totally different in the fact that it had given it's years by showing how sturdy, stable, and strong,

For it must have been though it must have endured lots over the years and withstood the weather and yet it's withstood all these years long.

We must always remember just because things look rough on the outside doesn't mean the inside isn't strong, steady and firm,

And as long as we are this way on the inside we can be like a rock steadfast and true, throughout the term.

And always remember God will choose the sturdy, steadfast to where to build his house,

And even if we may not think it looks good from the outside the inside may just be perfect for that place.

So next time you have a change to walk down a broken path take a different view from time to time,

You too might see something different in the view and not just a broken down mossy old fence that's lost it's prime.

1 Chronicles 16:30

 Fear before him, all the earth:

 the world also shall be stable,

that it be not moved.

Proverbs 25:28

 He that hath no rule over his own spirit is

 like a city that is broken down, 

and without walls.

Winter's water fall

While you usually spend a springs day sitting watching water flow from top of a stream on high,

Maybe you should give this a refreshing winter's try.

The flow you see is somewhat the same but the surrounding rock, twigs and leaves,

Are more than anything spring or summer will ever bring you or give you over these rocks eaves.

The water that flows this time of year is icy cold to ones touch,

The white glow is something you just would love to watch very much.

The mossy green on the rocks are ever so bright as the sun hits the leaves left behind after falls bliss,

What a more wonderful winter's view to enjoy than this?

1 Corinthians 16:6

And it may be that I will abide, yea,

 and winter with you,

that ye may bring me on my journey whithersoever I go.

A True Friend...

I look at a waterfall as a friend,  they're never ending, you can always find one when your in need,

They can sometimes be the one incredible thing for the day you need.

You can always find one with a short drive just about anywhere you choose,

And when you get there you never have anything to loose.

I heard once a true friend is one who will see through your fake smile and know when something is wrong.

There have been many fake smiles that have been but on for various reasons throughout this life long.

Like a waterfall true friend are always there from start to finish no matter what troubles they have to cross,

Nor how many layers and years of murky moss.

A True friend will be there like this water fall from the start till the end,

When ever you need them there no matter what you can depend.

But like a waterfall we need to choose our friends wisely and with an open heart,

And always remember to allow God in and allow him to take him part.

For if we don't choose them wisely like a waterfall they too will dry up and be gone,

And when you need them the most you'll go there and you be all alone.

Psalm 105:41

 He opened the rock,

 and the waters gushed out;

 they ran in the dry places like a river.

Luke 15:6

 And when he cometh home,

 he calleth together his friends and neighbours,

 saying unto them, Rejoice with me; 

for I have found my sheep which was lost.

Every burned bridge has a story...

There have been a lot of bridges I should have crossed instead of burned them,

But each burned bridge has a story to tell and some of them are quiet a gem.

While most people sit a think back on all the things they done throughout their lives,

I'm sure many will be met will memories of good times, to go along with the awareness and strives.

While most people vow to start over each new year,

Seldom do you ever see anyone who actually see follow through.

And I'm sure there will be many more but which ones are real are for a real friend to know,

And if you're not that real friend then I guess you'll spend many years with you're own fake smiles to bestow.

Job 16:20

My friends scorn me: 

but mine eye poureth out tears unto God.

Job 19:14

 My kinsfolk have failed, 

and my familiar friends have forgotten me.

Twists and turns

To feel like a old branch from a tree all twisted, rough and torn,

Is sometimes more than pain than any one body can adorn.

I awaken many nights with pains that I can't explain,

But no one ever know for there is no need to complain.

Do you ever feel like the knots left behind on this battered tree limb?

Or often there are many days you feel like you've been left behind like a fairy tales Grimm.

I have no idea what to do for the pain or aches,

All I know is there are many days it more than one person can take.

I only wish for others I know and love they never feel not even one ounce of the physical suffering,

Which then leads you down a road of mental pain, agony and tormenting wondering.

My writing and pictures help take away some of the discomfort and distress,

I only hope you enjoy them as I do for God's bless.

Job 14:22

 But his flesh upon him shall have pain, 

and his soul within him shall mourn.

Enjoy Today!!!

Sometimes sitting alone late at night,

If you look outside at the starry sky,

Things you see manifest into various things you eyes see with all their might.

Some times you can see the sky show you various things your eyes think they see,

But playing tricks you think as you star at the twists and turns of the clouds what could it be?

While you might see things out in the nights sky not knowing what's out there, 

Or the day lights clouds alignment awaiting for the daily storm to come near.

No on really knows what others see nor what you're looking at yourself,

But what ever it maybe use it at your will to enjoy the beauty of one of God's gifts he's left.

Whether its to see various things in the nights sky, 

Or a vision of beauty on a cloudy day.

Use it for the enjoyment it is intended for as one of natures stress reliefs given to us as a gift, 

To have as a way to give our minds and hearts a happy little lift.

Matthew 24:42

 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.

Deuteronomy 1:33

 Who went in the way before you, to search you out a place to pitch your tents in, in fire by night, to shew you by what way ye should go, and in a cloud by day.

Numbers 10:32

 And it shall be, if thou go with us, yea, it shall be, that what goodness the LORD shall do unto us, the same will we do unto thee.

What if.....

Walking down the street during the day not knowing who you're going to see or meet,
Do you just walk past people or do you smile and say hello to them with a pleasant greet?


We've always been told to never judge a book by its cover, and just because it torn, tattered and weathered, 
This doesn't mean there's not a good story inside just awaiting for you to ready for you to find beyond the pages tethered.


This could also be the same with the people we pass daily in our lives even on the street, or in the stores,
So let be careful not to judge these people by their outer shells, because we have no idea who they are nor their adores.


The Bible tells us once the last person out there is saved before the rapture,
What if you are out there walking right past the person God has sent you to capture?


If you've asked God to use you in anyway he can, they you need to be prepared to do just that,
Even if it's telling a total stranger about God's word so he can learn and get the fact.


How tragic would it be if you pass by someone that needed to hear God's good word and you were placed there because you asked God to use you and you just kept on walking because of how they looked, smelled or even dressed?


Give this a thought the next time you go to the mall shopping or to the grocery store or even walk down the town streets.
For when you ask God to use you, don't be surprised when he puts you somewhere and who you'll meet.

Luke 21:24

  And they shall fall by the edge of the sword,

 and shall be led away captive into all nations:

 and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, 

until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.

Romans 11:25

For I would not, brethren,

 that ye should be ignorant of this mystery,

 lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; 

that blindness in part is happened to Israel,

 until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
