New Page "The Choir" Added

Greetings, Dear Ones!

Please join me in praying for the Lord's blessing, the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, and the covering and protection of the Holy Angels for our children and their teachers, instructors, coaches, professors, administrators and security personnel who are returning for the first full week of school since the end of the Summer vacation! May Almighty God have mercy upon each and every one of them.

I have added a new poem page entitled The Choir.

This poem has an interesting story behind it:

 In my home church when I was a young lady, we had several accomplished singers. However, there was a particular Sister in the congregation who had two daughters who both had beautiful voices and, to hear her carry on, you would believe that she was instrumental in them having received their voices. And, of course, the goodly Sister never failed to let you - who "though" you could sing - know that you were no match in the singing department against her gifted daughters. 

Now, on any given Sabbath, you  could expect to hear one or both of the sisters singing, and on this particular Sabbath, every time an item of special music was announced, one of her daughters go up to "perform." Well, they were on a roll at that particular Sabbath evening's program, and the goodly Sister was in kiddie goat heaven!

I guess it was about the third announced item of special music when both daughters got up to go to the rostrum that their dear Mother outdid herself!

She jumped up and, proud as a peacock in all its glory, gleefully shouted: "My STARS!"

Without missing a beat, several of the other singers who has been stung by her insults on their talents responded: "Mon-STARS!"

Sufficed to stay, that was the end of that type of behavior.

Well, go have yourself a read, and have a blessed day at work, school, or at home, whatever your chosen activity.

New Page "Prayer for a Terminally-ill Friend" added

Greetings, Dear Ones!

     I hope that you are all well, and that you had an opportunity to get out and enjoy the beautiful weather we had today!

     On a somber note, I know that many of us, myself included, have had family and friends cut down in the prime of life due to the ravages of cancer, and for this reason, I have added a new page with a prayer entitled Prayer for a Terminally-ill Friend.

    It is not easy watching loved ones slip away, and I pray that this prayer will benefit someone.

    Let us bless the Lord all times, especially during the trying times where terminal illness is involved, and keep "pressing on the upward way!"

Be well, and be gloriously blessed,

New Poem Page Added entitled "The Lust, The Lust!"

Greetings, Again, Dear Ones!

     I hope that your day has been a blessed one!

    In line with the new format announcement, the first poem to get its own page is entitled The Lust, The Lust! 

    This poem is loosely based off of 1 John 2:16 which reads as follows: 

King James Version (KJV)

For all that is in the world, 

the lust of the flesh, 

and the lust of the eyes, 

and the pride of life, 

is not of the Father, but is of the world.

     Please have yourself a read, and please feel free to comment, AND don't forget to share!

Be well, and be gloriously blessed

Happy Sabbath!

Greetings, Dear Ones, and Happy Sabbath to you and to yours!

     Another Sabbath Day has arrived where we come together to tabernacle with the Lord, to sing His praises and to rest in Him!

    Let us all give thanks to Our Almighty God for this time we can spend together, and for the myriad blessings He, in His Mercy, provided to us throughout the week just past.

    The offering today is a poem entitled The Raindrops and the Song of Praise is Be Strong in the Lord. You will also find A Prayer of Thanksgiving!

    I pray that you all will have a Blessed Sabbath day!

Be well, and be gloriously blessed,

Remember the Sabbath Day!

Happy Sabbath!

     Thanks for coming in to rest a while!

     In honor of the seventh-day Sabbath, I have added a new poem called, Sabbath, and a prayer for the Sabbath.

     I pray that you will, indeed, find your Sabbath blessing, as our Lord promised.

     Rest, Dear Ones, and blessed.
