Southern Porch of Comfort - summer

There's a southern porch of comfort

I once knew,

where all my loved ones gathered

on a lazy afternoon.

Talk was of the family or neighbors

down the way,

wafting with the sleepy sound

of a porch swings serenade;

there was no place for to go,

and nothing much to do,

so time sat with us patiently,

not inclined to move.

*

Sometimes it all comes back to me,

I see and hear so clear

all the people long since gone

but with just a thought

drawn near...

the more the years in passing,

the more I choose to stay

on that southern porch of comfort

before the colors 

fade.

A Wedding Poem - summer

A wedding has a way

of bringing us together -

what a special day

as you both will enter

into union

by the Lord's design,

celebrating the original Love

that He had in mind

for all of us -

so now it will be,

as you share life in His joy

so abundantly!

 

 

Hosea 2:19

I will betroth you to me forever;

I will betroth you in righteousness and justice,

in love and compassion.

Sinking into Summer - summer

I'm sinking into summer

like a cozy stuffed chair,

all warm and barefoot

surrounded by the soothing air.

Nothing here so pressing

that I have to jump and run,

so lazily I'm lounging,

moving slowly like the sun.

Living in the outdoors

whose arms are open wide,

there's a different pace

in this place of grace

less confined than when inside.

Sinking into summer

like a warm cozy chair,

storing up for winter -

Like a hibernating bear!

Living Truth - summer

If lately we would look

into the heavenly realms

of You, Lord, here on earth

and the revelation it tells

of a Holy God,

Hallowed and Supreme,

fighting back the forces of evil

who are desperate to the extreme:

who know they are defeated

and are clutching at our souls

that through the Power of Jesus Christ

are beyond their ability to hold.

God is working through people and prayer

to provide others with release

from all the devils tempting and schemes

so we can exist within God's peace.

More the miracles lately I've seen

and more the affirmation lived

that Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life

waiting to be given.

As the end of times is drawing near,

He will give us personal proof

that He is unconditional, saving Love

and the only Living Truth.
