Fear Abates

When we are worried
About our friends and family
We find ourselves clinging
To the source of peace, tranquility,
The mighty Lord Jesus Christ
Who only and forever sets
The captives free and protects
The lives of all humanity.
When trouble rages
Sickness invades, defeats us,
Strife causes us to quake in fear,
The losses bring on many tears,
When the world seems to
Run in circles, gone amok,
We call to Heaven in our prayers
We find the Savior always there
Ready to help us in our need
He fills us with LOVE and
We receive gifts to help us
Overcome each adversity.

My New Normal

I cannot really say a lot, but I will say things have changed and I believe for the better. I have a computer that works so well I can do creative work I have only dreamed of before. I have been to Wal-Mart, where I had quit going because I was afraid; a few times. Today, I was given a gift, picture below. I went to MicroCenter and got a new holster for my phone because mine was three years old and worn out.

Someone cares enough to talk to me regularly, I get hugs, and I do not know, we shall see.

The Wealth Of You

Yesterday has faded past,
The present not long shall last,
Tomorrow’s promise may not hold fast;
So be faithful to live in every moment
Meet each challenge with courage
Share your love as if the world depends
Upon the outcome of all you do,
Because dear one you are meant
To be a blessing, many dreams come true.
*************************
Walking where we have
Never explored before we
Meet ourselves maybe
In a freedom prior unknown
Understanding depths unseen.

Inquiry Into Idiosyncrasy

Sometimes I wonder
Being a curious sort,
Do we know people
Or do we know them only
As we imagine they are?

The explanation
Of how we wrap others up
In our thoughts, hopes, dreams,
May explain relationships
Being awkward to maintain.

When the hologram
Stored with mental notes in mind
Is inaccurate
Compared to the true person
Acting out in present time –

Worlds begin to clash
Configurations may crash,
Curtains pull away
We are all left gaping on
The bare stage; reality.

Perhaps endeavor
To better acquaint ourselves
With who we may be;
Encourage others to see
Us in actuality.

Well, as usual, Mr. Squier proved a tremendous inspiration. There is one mistake in this I did not catch before I put it on the glass. I can live with a little imperfection when I have been reading loads of it in eBooks lately. I am generally good at catching my faults and heavily berating myself over them. Yeah, gotta LET IT GO!

I told you all I had four pages left in the journal, well, it is now full. I have to find a new companion to see me through the Summer. Not sure about that thing at all. Choices, choices, ain’t that the burn of change? The dog will bite if you don’t put him right in his place. Color, plain, patterned, thick, thin, wired, bound, cheap paper, something with tooth, dot, lined, blank, leather, paperboard, wood – see, you know I have to think this over. It is much more a thing because I take my journal everywhere I go. I never know when the need to write is going to ambush me. You know I write a little bit, well, LOL!
