White Rose ~

White Rose by Walter Poe

In the storm
Stands the white rose
tumultuous waves
of destruction abound her

Yet tall is the white rose
strong in the face
Of the sensed doom around her
And she does not bow down

Pure is the white rose
In the compost earth
growing eternal strength
in the nights that so hurt

I see not the white rose
She is so far away
But I long to protect her
But only the words can I say

So I send her my words
And my poets heart
To help her when
there is hope to see her through

Be Strong little flower
Your heart will guide true
And as long as you want
I will always talk to you

The mystery of God ~

God is truly man's best friend on this earth. No one loves like He. No one cares like He. He is patient and true and waits with open arms for us to return to Him in truth. God is also the greatest mystery. We believe that he is all powerful and capable of doing anything and yet there is suffering in the world. On the other hand there is an inherent goodness in mankind which seems to echo God's goodness. We look up to him in gratefulness, and shake our fists at Him in anger. He fills the world and yet the world is not his place. The mystery of God. I need you God forever ~

How I feel tonight

This is how I feel as I lie here tonight,

Why do I feel it?

So many reasons inside.

I’m lonely because I’m lost,

Lost because I’m confused,

Confused because I’m scared,

Scared because I’m hurting,

Hurting because I’m fearful,

Fearful because of the pain.

But why the pain?

Is it because I love too much?

Or is it caused by trust?

I will never know the answer

As this tear washes it away.

"Come to me ,all you who labor , and are burdened "...

1. Watch, O Lord, with those who wake, or watch, or weep tonight,
   and give Your Angels and Saints charge over those who sleep.
   Tend Your sick ones, O Lord Christ.
   Rest Your weary ones.
   Bless Your dying ones.
   Soothe Your suffering ones.
   Pity Your afflicted ones.
   Shield Your joyous ones.
   And all for Your love's sake. Amen.
   These two prayers suggest a similar need for our Lord’s vigilance:
   Be present, O Lord, and protect us through the silent hours of this night, that we who are wearied with the work and changes of this fleeting world, may rest upon Thy eternal changelessness. Amen.
   O Lord Jesus Christ, Whose unwearied eye neither slumbers nor sleeps, but continually watches in defense of thy servants; take me and mine, I beseech thee, into thy protection, and grant, that whilst my body is asleep, my soul may be awake to Thee, and that I may hereafter behold Thee in that blessed and heavenly country, where thou, with the Father and the Holy Ghost, rulest eternally, and where all the angels, with the blessed saints, are citizens forever.
   The first two of these three prayers remind us that our Lord Himself invited those who are weary to “Come to me, all you who labor, and are burdened and I will give you rest” (Matt 11:28-30).
   Touching on the references to eternity in the second and third prayer, we can also derive great comfort from knowing that Christ’s own death upon a cross couldn’t separate us from Him, for as he said after His resurrection “I am with you always” (Matt 28:20).
   Indeed, all three of these prayers for protection bring to mind a wonderful passage from Psalm 121, meant originally to reassure those on arduous journeys that God was watching over them: “Behold, He will neither slumber nor sleep who guards Israel…the Lord shall guard your coming and going, henceforth and forever” (Ps 121:4, 8). This comforting thought can help us sleep better at night!
   Give Aliyah , Cheryl , Mommy and Daddy rest tonight ~
