love bounces back

when it hits a wall

when not received

no not at all..

love has no barriers

but some hearts have walls

so love will bounce back

from the good intentions and all..

Alone

i see you

sitting alone

are you in sorrow?

i see you

sitting alone

 this late afternoon hour

i wish i could convey

to you

that

i feel your pain

and

i feel your sorrow..

 

When I Am Weak He is Strong

quiet friends

they are around

some so silent

and don’t make a sound

strength comes in numbers

together we are strong

but the enemy

wants to take us

all down..

Dear ones, Thank you from the bottom of my splintered heart. Your prayers are appreciated and the cries of our heart are heard in the heavenlies.  I am a witness to the fact that He carries me, and all that concerns me. 

There was a search done today and there is not a trace to be seen or found at this time. If only Jadey’s dog could talk. I know they are missing their human mom.. She’s had them since they were puppies. My love and gratitude, for your warm expressions of concern..

Washed

that cold sharp tone

makes my bones shiver

i know now

that a heart is changed

when one recognizes

that self

does not have

all of the answers

in humility

traipsing

to

the

alter

to

lay

it

all

out

that

we be

washed

from the

filth

 of sin..

God help us

 

We are all infected and impure with sin. When we display our righteous deeds, they are nothing but filthy rags. Like autumn leaves, we wither and fall, and our sins sweep us away like the wind..

Isaiah 64:6

 

Sunday Soul Search

golden leaves

sky so blue

every day

is

brand new..

with an open heart

and eyes to see

i thank the good Lord..

for what he has done

for you and me..

And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

Tone it Down

could you, would you, please

tone it down

or turn it off

are you telling the world

this is what you’ve got?

profanity is not pleasing

to my ears

especially when

i consider

that children hear..

if you are thinking

that it will get my vote

i am sorry to tell you

it seriously will not..

                                                                                                                               r gould

 

 

Heart Matters

words like honey

oh so sweet

but for some reason

not coming from some tweets

i am not a twitter bird

but, i do know

that wise and kind words

really can flow..

and when they do

it will surely show..

For although they knew God, they neither glorified Him as God nor gave thanks to Him, but they became futile in their thinking and darkened in their foolish hearts..

Romans 1:21

 

summer mood

summer mood

a bit subdued

heavy heart

from fires that start

loss of life

and loss of home

exhausted bodies

people bemoan

and question why

God bring comfort

and please

 rain down on them..
