WHAT IS LOVE?

IT HAS BEEN SAID THAT GOD IS LOVE, AND THE WAY TO GOD IS THROUGH LOVE. I CAME ACROSS A POEM WHICH MAKES ME REFLECT ON THE MEANING OF LOVE.

THE MEANING OF LOVE
BOTH LIGHT AND SHADOW ARE THE DANCE OF LOVE
LOVE HAS NO CAUSE
IT IS THE ASTROLOGY OF GOD’S SECRETS
LOVER AND LOVING ARE INSEPARABLE AND TIMELESS
ALTHOUGH I MAY TRY TO DESCRIBE LOVE
WHEN I EXPERIENCE IT, I AM SPEECHLESS
ALTHOUGH I MAY TRY TO WRITE ABOUT LOVE
I AM RENDERED HELPLESS,
MY PEN BREAKS AND THE PAPER SLIPS AWAY
AT THE INEVITABLE PLACE WHERE LOVER AND LOVING ARE ONE
EVERY MOMENT IS MADE GLORIOUS BY THE LIGHT OF LOVE

Prayers for the Homeless

I have often thought of the homeless and maybe to some degree said prayers and at times even given a blanket or a little food. But, recently I have read and seen so many new homeless situations in our nation that I was once again awaken to a need. Living in the Nation’s Capital or other large cities at times we become desensitized to many situations without even knowing it. Many times it is just feeling completely helpless.

While reading and seeing many news reports of the ‘homeless’ I began to understand the great increase in homelessness in our little towns and villages across our great nation.

Because it’s just Destiny

Here is a poem I wrote. It helps me remember God and Jesus are in charge of my destiny. Only God and Jesus know. My song is called ‘Because it’s just Destiny.’
I still believe in destiny
Right there hand and hand
With the Master I worship
And his Son that I love
Will I stay strong
I still believe in destiny
With heaven coming
And a future I don’t see
What will it be
I don’t know
I don’t know
It’s just destiny
Oh, Destiny
Destiny God made for me
With the help of his Son
Who will help me get done
I see and I know they are with me
Because it’s just destiny
Oh, Oh, It’s just destiny

I Bent Low to The Lord

While going through some old journals recently I found this poem, which I wrote in 2003. This poem from my heart was inspired by Sara’s teachings, workshops and retreats from her writings on the ‘Dance of Healing.’ Even after this experience in 2003, I again went through her retreat in 2006 on ‘The Dance of Healing’ with a different creative group, different state but the teachings from the heart of God taught and led by Sara. I have and would and will continue to search and seek Sara’s writings and teachings by making an appointment with God to schedule, travel and to walk through this teaching and others that Sara brings to us through her creative work. Sara has the art of communication and as she has taught and shown us many times without communication our creative work will fail to develop or succeed.

I hope that many will know that they are worth the WAIT. I can only write this because He waited on me.

I bent low to the Lord
when I was but a child
I knew he was here
I heard his voice in the Word
and I believed.
Oh how I loved Jesus
I loved the flowers
the sky and trees–
His handiwork, my creator

Mrs. Davis

I thought of Debi’s song (“Does your Boxwood grow like Mrs. Davis Garden”) as I was writing this special letter for Mrs.Davis. Can you see the influence of this amazing song? (see Gardening Therapy on this site and order one of Debi’s CD’s for yourself and a gift). I believe you will be encouraged, inspired and if you open your heart to the winds of the Holy Spirit you to will be stirred in your creative flow. Let us keep the flow moving until we see Jesus.

try to impress upon you the reasons as a teacher, I feel Ms. Davis is such a
value to her colleagues here at Lake Harbor Middle School.

Uganda Update Trip

Lindsey and I would like to give all of you an update on the ministry this summer to Uganda! We came to The Daily Lily and many others as well along with churches of our community. (see Lindsey on The Daily Lily under Talking Points dated Nov. 13,06). In November ’06, Lindsey extended the invitation to me to be a part of this mission. I without question knew where to go, right to God and my friends and co-labors of The Daily Lily. The trip is coming together so beautifully both in planning and finances. I am so blessed to have the ministry of our little church in Leesburg with our Daily Lily to send me (us) on this mission. It is my goal to represent God and all of you with the very best God has provided me with to bring honor to all of us. As you have read and will hear more about it is teaching teachers and working with the children and women of this nation.

We will be going to Kampala which Lindsey says is a well organized town but the road system isn’t good.
First week – Her Mom will lead meetings on “Grieving” and we will teach the teachers.
Second Week – We will go to Kenya – Her Mom will return to U.S. (marriage). We will go on an African Safari.
Third Week – We will go into the bush and work with the teachers along with Campus Crusade persons from Oauchita University. She said the focus will be on prayer and women helping women.
