This poem for you today fresh from my morning journal.

May it bless you today as we come close to the day we celebrate the birth of our Savior and Lord, Jesus. Emmanual – God’s desire has always been to be with us…

may our heart’s turn to Him!

Look up, consider the stars…Have a blessed and beautiful holiday- may you be truly free and able to celebrate in a spirit of love and grace. God with us.

I hope the poem helps you draw near.

Now godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.

1 Timothy 6:6-7 (NKJV)

From this morning’s pen and messy journal…

Behold Judah Rising (Revelation 5:5)

I wrote this poem last Christmas Eve morning…

Though we wait for a babe in a manger, as gentle as a lamb-let us never forget, the power of His roar.

I love the season of Advent. A season dedicated to waiting with hope, while yet in darkness.

I love music. Any kind of music. I love, I love, I love, I love music…I hope the O’ Jays don’t mind, because their words are still swimming in my mind after all this time!

I hope you get the message. I do enjoy listening to music, and worshiping God through singing. Even some of my poems come to me as songs. However, I am not musically inclined in the sense of reading music notes nor do I understand the subtleties of music composition . What I do know is this: I like what I like!
