You Shot me Through

You Shot me Through

You shot me through

With seeds of hope

May I continue to be

The best me I can be

Thank you.

It’s not what people call me

It’s what I answer to that counts

I know who I am

Lord, give me the gift of understanding

and help me to avoid judging others.

Be Still and Know

Be Still and Know

Be still and know

That I am God

Just follow where

My feet have trod

What adventures do you

Have for me today, Lord?

Pay More Attention

Pay More Attention

Pay more attention to the needs of others.

Try to walk in the shoes of sisters and brothers.

Give a nod to their needs

No judgement on their wiles

A heart full of acceptance

Shows in warm hugs and kind smiles

That person that bugs

You just by being him or herself

May be hurting or grieving

And in poor mental health

If they’ve always had someone

To cater to them, they can

Clean up their own messes

While you cheer from the stands.

Disengage from their worries

So they learn from mistakes

Surrender, and detachment

May be all that it takes

Forgiveness will follow

For your ministering mind

Shut your mouth, stay the course

Their own way they will find

Blessings Abound

Blessings abound

And my heart resounds

With an abundance of

Love to outpour

Oh, the riches, the lavishness

The immeasurable grace

In the quiet of my soul

Is etched only His face

An Understanding

An Understanding

A heart full of gratitude leaves no room for self-pity.

 Judgement or blame

quells resentment, does

not distort or deny

criticize or ask why

There’s a fluidity and ease. 

Practices thank you and please

is saddened by descensions,

Put downs and slights

Respectfully declines to engage

In competition, superiority and

Fights.

Lends a helping hand, opens

Doors, windows, too.

Accepts you for who you are

Masters in transparency

Strives to live a healthy life

Rejoices in others successes

And accomplishments

Encourages and strives to

Understand

Embraces and exudes

Need – free love

A heart full of gratitude is

Lighter than air and willing

To be led to new abundances.

Please Jesus, May I live this

Day with a heart full of gratitude.
