Wednesdays Song

Apex of a 5-day week
Day to really get into your work or activity before the week end...
A lot can be done today
Keep a steady pace
Take this new energy and let it rule as you give it direction....
Stay the course today

Let it carry you in a forward moving motion
Let nothing stop you
Let the song of today carry its own tune
let your ears listen to the melodic notes
Let the lyrics play joyfully lifting up your spirit.

Wednesday, song -cf

Each Day...

Each day is a new prayer
Each day is a blessing
Each day is a gratitude, that brings thankfulness

Each day brings a new idea
Each day brings a new thought
Each day brings a new wisdom
Each day brings a new energy
Each day brings a new opportunity
Each day brings a new life
Each day brings a daily bread to nourish our souls...a new manna, in the Lord's will...

Each day has its own provision
Each day does not depend on yesterday

Each day is special
Each day is priceless
Each day is what YOU make it
Each day! -cf

Woman At The Well

Beautiful soul needing new water
Mid-day trip, daily routine
Peaceful moment to recollect
Peaceful moment to regain herself
Peaceful moment to get away...
Unbeknownst new encounter to come to disturb a quiet sanctuary(?)

Thirsty stranger waiting
From a long journey sitting, waiting
Friends are gone to come back later
No cup, no jug, no bucket to use
Throat is parched dry, needing water
Unbeknownst new encounter to come to save, a blessing to behold.

At the well
The well was since given by ancestors past, Jacob...
To bring people together in unity
To communicate in harmony
To love one another as I have loved you
To quench each others thirst

Two strangers meet
Thirsty meets quench
Conversation erupts in a quiet way
Listening with assurance
Listening with compassion
Listening with authenticity
Responses bring awareness
Responses bring change
Responses bring joy
Thirsty is given water from the well
Quench receives new Living Water to fill her soul
Quench is overjoyed with this new nourishment
Quench goes to tell the good news, of Thirsts miracle, to the townspeople.
Woman at the well, a beautiful soul restored to new life.

Ascension of the Lord

Our beloved Lord ascends to heaven.
Lifted up, by the clouds out of our sight.

What does it mean to us left behind?
It means to be patient and wait for the promise gift coming from the Father.
It means to be 'my witnesses' says the Lord.
It means the Lord has left me for works to do on HIS behalf.
It means a new faith is born within me.
It means a new purpose is awakened in me.
It means a new adventure waiting on the horizon.
It means to get ready for a new anointing.
It means our heavenly Father God, wants us to partner up with HIS beloved Son, our beloved Savior.

Pastor's Sermon (on the mount)
-awakens a deeper knowledge of our beloved Lord.
-a message anointed to give us hope.
-a message to bring us closer to the Lord
-a message to let us know how special we are to our Creator, Lord in Jesus Christ.
Ascension of the Lord!
A blessing to behold!

Beauty of Faith

As we enjoy our Saturday, let us reflect on the beauty of faith.

When Jesus talked about faith, He knew that it was among us. All we had to do is use our senses to help our unbelief to believe. Jesus teaches us how to believe and the Holy Spirit is at work within us bringing it to fruition.

There is a reason to believe that faith has a way of working and weaving its beauty into our lives.

Nature has a way of reminding us that there is a faith at work among us. It has a way of basking in that realm. Soaking up this goodness that feeds its purpose.

In order to believe, we have to have something that helps our unbelief. Something tangible that touches our 5 senses: see, hear, touch, taste, and smell. Something happens to us when our senses become part of this work of faith.
Our responses, are positive because that unknown place will become a known place and we can see it or touch it. If there is a negative response, then, there was no connection and there is still unbelief, which tends to be a product of unwillingness.

Book of St. James: 'So also faith of itself, if it does not have works, is dead.'

Nature's inner workings are really based on what it was created to do. Our knowledge also plays a part in the workings of faith.

Roses are one of my favorite flowers. When you plant the bulb of a rose in rich soil, it has only but to grow up into a beautiful rose. This is because it was created to grow to be a rose. The beauty of the rose is that it comes in different shapes, colors, types, and sizes. It does all this, without losing its identity of being a rose. This identity gives it authenticity. Our senses our captivated by its beauty and we respond in saying 'what a beautiful rose'. It is known to be the queen of all flowers and is one of the most beautiful and popular flowers around. Hence, the rose has fulfilled it's purpose it was created for. Its Creator is then glorified!

When faith is at work among us, something positive always comes out of it. That is the beauty of faith. In essence faith is good. Let us connect our good within us to the faith that is at work among us.

Book of Hebrews 'Faith is the realization of what is hoped for and the evidence of things not seen'.
Blessings!

Wings of Hope

Soaring through the sky, above the plush clouds,
flight of this adventure overtakes me.
My eyes are fixed on the Sun before me.
Never looking down or to my right or to my left.
The wind carries me, there is no fear to distract me.

Nourished by the light of grace, filled with eternal joy, I began to slowly descend.

Hope brings me to land on these soft green pastures.
Flowers of joy, sustains me.

Strength & courage carry me forward. A new day, a new gift, and a new adventure to take on.

Wings of hope.
