Talk About Faith
I am me
Sunday, January 27th, 2008
Ask me not why I cry
my eyes no longer wishes to see;
they have seen enough sorrow, pain
and firmly refuse to listen to me.
Ask me not how I live
fate knows of my daily struggle;
I look only to what she brings
and accepts it without a grumble.
Ask me not my name
I long since pretty plainly forgot;
I have buried it beneath the rubble
of what once was my proud heart.
Instead, ask me who I am
and I will tell it to you quite simply;
I am my unique self and no one else’s
just as God Himself created me to be.

Found this poem among the letters I wrote to my then fiance. Just thought I’d post it, as a reminder to myself and perhaps in a way, to others as well.

Isn’t it amazing,
how HIS grace
restores our faith?
Isn’t it amazing,
How HIS wisdom
has no end?
Isn’t it amazing,
How God’s love
can bring us peace?
Yes, HIS grace
restores our faith.
Yes, HIS wisdom
knows no end.
And yes, HIS love
does bring us peace….
Isn’t HE amazing?
GOD is amazing!

Wednesday, October 24th, 2007
We are farmers with soil to plow
We are planters with seeds to sow
No matter where life’s streams may flow
or, how full the river is now
In the fields of life sow, we must
the seeds of love, hope, faith and trust
We are miners of hidden gold
We are weavers of silken dreams
No matter how very hard it seems
To make it all come true, behold!
In the fields of life grow, we must
the tree of love, hope, faith and trust
We are examples, one and all
We are believers, tried and true
No matter what we must go through
sailing the stormy seas and squall
In the fields of life yield, we must
the fruits of love, hope, faith and trust
So while we tarry a bit more
in the fields of Life - our souls, pour!

Thursday, September 6th, 2007
Sometimes, a child’s wisdom,
can just stop us in our tracks.
It can make us truly realize,
what is inside our hearts.
A silly thought of question,
is now a food for thought.
When one, in quiet reflection,
finds out its simple truth.
We see the love of God,
in the eyes of every child.
In heaven, we can believe,
if a child’s faith, we have.

Saturday, August 18th, 2007
A flash of silver lightning
bringing forth a streak of light
A gentle breeze of wind
sending leaves on a sudden flight
A treat, for a very nice trick
on such a wonderful day
A sweet song of praise
for all that comes our way

Monday, August 6th, 2007
A
thorn plucked
from the rose
that crowned a vase
reminds me of You.
You are my protector.
You keep me rather unique.
Some thought you were non-essential
and tried to rid me of your presence.
Do they know I am nothing without YOU?

Wednesday, August 1st, 2007
mystic tree of life
of perfect beauty and grace
purified by strife
restore tenderly
all dreams in sorrow broken
and in truth set free
create, now create
a legend that was foretold
a story so great
arise from the mire
all hope and faith anew
a spirit on fire
then as dreams do end
wisdom found, of glory tell
all, to heaven send

Sunday, July 22nd, 2007
I once walked a lonesome path,
blinded by promises of this world.
Not knowing what to do with my life,
grasping at straws like they were gold.
My steps were heavy with burden,
as I shuffled on to get somewhere.
The paths seemed long and winding,
false hope lurked just everywhere.
Until finally, I gave up:
falling on my knees to humbly pray.
That’s when God answered my plea,
and in His love showed me the way.
I know I will still stumble,
as I live my life and grow;
but no longer will it be empty,
no more living in dread and woe!

Monday, July 16th, 2007
hard on my bare head
oddly soothing to my heart
wetting my skin, the drops
splashing into puddles
as the sweat on my brow
dripping and flowing freely
become one with nature’s tears
swirls form into mirrored pools
a salve to the parched earth
opening up possibilities
rain falls down steadily
to quench my thirsting soul

Author’s Comments:
Rain falls for a reason, always. Whether it is to refresh the earth, grass, trees or us… or feed and quench a thirst….there’s a reason. When we get rained on, it is up to us, how we take it. Be like children and rejoice in the rain for the good it does or, see nothing but grey skies and dark clouds.
Ever notice how things seem to grow more after the rain? And how grass, seem to be greener? One can only hope and pray, that we take the times we get rained on and let it be a time to be refreshed, fed and grow in our faith and life.

Tuesday, July 10th, 2007
On
a cross
crucified.
God’s only Son.
Redeemer of us
who are sinners yet loved.
The prophecy now fulfilled.
Jesus Christ died and rose again.
God’s own Lamb offered in sacrifice.
He is: The Way. The Truth. The Life. He lives!
