Lady Lake, Florida

Christian influence, being a 'book worm," my affinity to God's virtues, the impelling beauty of His Creation and my love of people contribute to my desire to share thoughts and feeling through poetry. A Literature-Class poetry beginning, suppressed by life's priorities now emerges with "empty-nest" flexible time to enjoy: writing poetry, church friends, rose garden and being Grandma to Sarah (11 years). I write to promote education, patriotism and Christianity, using words of encouragement, challenge, persuasion and love. Published: A few poetic efforts in newspapers, Christian newsletters, periodical and anthologies. Pending: Book with my poetry and my husband's.

My God, My Jesus, My Comforter

Thank You! My God, My Jesus, My Comforter!

You are my HOPE,
My Saviour, my Salvation--the Greatest Gift,
My Eternal Home, my inspiration, my aspiration,
Forevermore!

You are my JOY,
My Song--rejoicing, singing Your praises,
My life, my Love--awesome, precious, complete,
All the day long!

You are my PEACE,
My Rock, my shield, my fortress,
My Truth, my Light, my solace, my quietude,
Forever with me!

Thank You!
My God, My Jesus, My Comforter!
That, in all Thy Wondrous Glory, Omnipotence, Omniscience,
Thou Art still so
Mindful of Man!

In Jesus Name, AMEN!

Look - Think - Remember - Love

God's Omni-presence is revealed in all of His Creation.
LOOK for Him in all that your senses see--
And when you are aware of His Omnipotent Presence,
Be Thankful unto Him and Bless His Holy Name!

When you wash your hands with your liquid soap,
THINK of God's Cleansing Power--
By the shedding of blood by His Precious Son, Jesus,
He washes away the sins of the World!

REMEMBER His love for His own--
He gives Hope, Joy, Peace-- comforts in pain and strife--
Heals-- Takes away our sins of omission and commission
And remembers them against us no more! Hallelujah!

He's Omniscient and cares for our every need--
But grieves when we ignore, disobey, neglect,
Do not seek His Will, fail to serve Him-- or show our love.
LOVE Him and Others-- He first loved us!
