Tiny Scorpion

Tiny scorpion lying on my floor
How on earth did you get in?
What are you here for?
Tiny little scorpion 
Why are you inside?
Did you think you could stay?
When my grandsons are around?
Tiny little scorpion
I am sorry but you must go!
I don't want you here
Just in case you let your venom flow!
My grandsons are so precious to me
You are the one who must be gone!
Yes! Tiny little scorpion: you have to leave
Before you sting anyone living here!

Feel the love

Feel the love of the Holy Spirit
Feel the love of God
God is love!
Love is of God!
If we don't love one another
We are in darkness!
God sent His son to save us!
Whosoever confesses
That Jesus is the Son of God:
God dwells in him and he in God
There is no fear in love
We love Him because
He first loved us!
The oldest commandment is: Love!
God's love is perfect!

Anger and frustration

A child's feelings are more important
Than the broken shards of glass
Lying on the ground beneath his feet...
A mother's love is more important
Than her anger for the loss of a thing!
His pain and tears so much more 
Important than her anger any day!
Yes he dropped that expensive thing!
He didn't mean to do it: it was an accident!
Forgive him for his clumsiness
Forgive him for his fears
He is only 5 years old: though 
Sometimes he seems way beyond
He understands the consequences
He understands your anger
But what he needs is your love
At times like these: you need to see
He is only that little child
He needs your love and understanding
For many more long, long years!

In the light of Jesus' Love

In these darkest times
When the Light of our Lord
Is seen to be shining less brightly
We are called upon
To keep the commandments
To stay close to our Lord
To live the life of Jesus Christ!
Too many care not how they live!
Too many only do what they want!
As Satan goes about like a roaring lion
We must stand up and be counted
We must be closer to our Lord
We must show the world that
Only through the power of Jesus' words
Will we be able to stand
Thus must we study His words
Keep them in our hearts
That when that dark day shall come
We will be found standing 
Among the ruins of this earth
Steady as His beating heart
Righteous unto salvation!


Galatians 5: 22
The fruit of the spirit:
Love, joy, peace
Long-suffering
Gentleness
Goodness 
Faith, meekness
Temperance

John 15: 1-12
Jesus is the vine
We are the fruit
Jesus says: 
If I abide in you
You will bear much fruit

Revelation 14:12
Here is the patience of the saints
Here are those 
Who keep the commandments of God
And the faith of Jesus

Walking with my Lord

I love to walk along the beach
After a storm has been
There are so many precious shells
Along that beautiful beach to be seen
The waves have tossed and turned
All that fury has played it self out
What remains upon the shore there?
Are all those beautiful little creatures
Who have given it their best fight!
I found so many beautiful Olive shells
After a long dark stormy night
I gathered those precious little shells 
Took them home to share their light!
I have some on my beautiful shell table
They are so precious to me
For they remind me of those days and
Those nights long gone by as well
When I lived beside the sea side
And walked the miles with Thee!

Jack-knifed

You have to have your wits about you 
You have to be so careful as you drive
You have to take notice of everything
If you want to stay alive!
Following along behind another car
Just keeping all in control
I was surprised by a bit of commotion
As the big truck ahead took off
It was jack-knifing off the highway
It was ploughing through a fence
Dust was flying up into the sky there
Like a plume of toxic smoke
The truck finally came to a standstill
And the dust settled all around
My heart was beating like crazy
As I took stock and looked around
I'd tried so hard to miss that car
Pulled my steering wheel to the right
But something; someone also grabbed it
And stopped me from taking us out
Onto the other side of that busy highway
Kept us safe from harm!
Thank you dear Lord for saving us all!
Whenever I drive: no matter how far
I always take my Lord with me
I always pray for His protection
As I set off onto those dangerous roads!

Sleazy serpent

My first office job was so cool

I was enjoying my job as a clerk

Even dreaming of the accounts

When I was asleep in my bed

I dreamt of Honeywell and Howard

And all those other accounts

That were floating around in my head!

But there was one thing that bothered me!

One thing that really pissed me off!

There was a sleazy guy who lurked about

Trying to embarrass all the young girls

Rubbing himself against us

Insinuating himself between us 

And forcing us to move past him

As he leered at us and made us feel

Like we were just his playthings

That sleazy look upon his face

He tried it out on me one day

I turned around and gave him an icy glare

He stayed away from me after that

But I still watched as he intimidated the others

Still made his sleazy presence felt

A she slithered around that office

Like Satan the serpent himself!
