86, 9-6, SHOW NOTES & COPYRIGHTS, (1/12/2023)
Today, 1 poem from God’s Rhyme & 2 recent ones.
THE RETURN (God’s Rhyme, Pg. 38)
listen –
I hear,
I hear a whisper;
a sound
ever so gentle,
as if a cool breeze
comforting
in the heat
were found
when standing still.
Shh . . . . .
I hear it again,
calling,
calling me, . . . “come,
come,
you are falling,
feel My arms,
I will catch you.”
“I’ll comfort you son.”
Oh, thank you Father,
I love You, I missed You.”
“Welcome home,
We rejoice in your homecoming,
son.”
“Your room
is as you left it;
as are you & I,
as we once were.”
The water drops
on His sleeve
were not from storm clouds;
gone they now are.
No, my tears fell,
fell freely
on His majestic robes of grace.
He so loved me
and rejoiced in my return.
I wept
joyfully
in His arms,
My Father,
My Redeemer,
My God.
Reflection:
THE RETURN, a recurring theme. One I wish I didn't have to write about, but am glad that I can write about. No matter what I may do, God will always welcome me back. And when I later realized how I must hurt God when I wander, I also realized that I must also forgive myself. If I don't, I am still distant from God until I do forgive.
Discussion:
The next two poems were written are the first two written in 2023.
DAY TWO
Day two,
The year is new,
So much to do
Beyond day two.
As I have been blessed,
I must help the rest
Find peace in their life
Overcoming strife.
Yes, I can write a word
Others may have heard.
Now I must share
With love an care.
My life no longer mine,
I have now seen the sigh
Of words ever divine.
I see the finish line.
I will follow where He leads,
I will pray and plant the seeds.
He has prepared good deeds
For me to serve other’s needs.

WHAT IS WRITTEN
(1/2/23)
Opportunity knocks
And the door unlocks.
I once wrote of Dirty Socks
And God In a Box.
(1/4/23)
What is left,
Writing in bass clef*
Or should I rest
And hope for the best?
I break words down**
Letter by letter,
And only frown
When I am not better.
That was then,
This is now.
This is not about me
And who other’s see.
My life is about God’s Son
And the battle He has won.
The word is His,
The healing is mine,
And as the world I live,
To other’s I must give.
What I have received,
As in Him I believed,
No longer deceived,
By His word I am set free.

* I played the trombone in elementary and junior high, music written in bass clef.
** I like to taka a word and see how many other words I can make out of the letters.
AS WE CLOSE IN PRAYER, MAY WE CONTINUE IN PRAYER
Dear Heavenly Father we come to you in prayer as we end today’s podcast. Dave and I thank You for Your leading us through the day and into tomorrow. We pray that today has been pleasing to You and honors Your glory.
We pray for our listeners and viewers; for their needs, healing and the salvation of those who have not yet accepted the gift of Your grace by faith.
We pray, Lord, for this world in which we live. Father, as Christians lead us to proclaiming the gospel where ever we are. May we do so in a loving way. Lead us to the truth of the days we are living in.
Dear Lord, prepare us and our listeners and viewers for the coming week. We pray that it is You we live for and You who leads us. As we walk with you this week, may it be Your hand clasped around our hand so we may feel the grasp of Your love.
We pray in the name of Jesus, our Savior and Redeemer.
Amen
