Hi there!       16.5.20 



Hi there

How've you been, Lord?

Am feeling drained

Tired

Turned inside out.


Stacks of trays

Piles of glass slides

Don't seem to be getting fewer

Between you and me

Want to go and hide...


Innundated

Cases to see

One finishes, 

Two land up..

Feeling at sea.


D'you ever feel like this?

There must be

Incessant people

To attend to..

How d'you manage?

Am sure you don't

Put us in a queue..


People's lives

Out of control

Sickness

Deaths

craziness

And then some more..


And now this COVID

We're still reeling

Numbers increasing by the hour

Pandemic still raging

And those poor migrants

Walking back home

Heart breaking ugly truth

Breaks your heart too

Am sure..


Talking to you

Puts things into perspective

So glad you are there

For the big and small things.


And You never 

push me away

When You've every right to

' Please wait for your turn

I've someone else to attend to

Someone with needs

Bigger than yours

You've been blessed so much

Looks like you forgot!'


It's always

Eyes of love

Welcoming smile

'I've been watching you

You've been struggling a while

Come tell me all about it

Come sit, my child..

Take a deep breath

Lean on me

You're not alone

You've never been'


Phew!!

Thank You Lord

Feeling better now

Can go back to life

Stronger than before..


Sorry for taking Your time

There's so much on Your mind

But actually

Can You teach me

About priorities?


Keeping You first

Help me remember

And also that 

That glass slide

Belongs to my brother.


Thank You Lord

For listening to me

In Your presence

there's peace and serenity.

 Living water 19.11.2024 Wonder what she was thinking As she hurried with her water pot In the heat of the day?  Resignation at her fate That people snickered and gossiped And passed rude comments along the way?  She had no inkling what lay in store No premonition that change was coming Her life and many more..  Wonder what He thought as He waited by the well?  He knew He was on a special assignment He moved as His Father said..  Did He, may I presume, Holy God That You identified with her?  Those barbs and cruel remarks His mother, His birth,  A Child's puzzlement at sneers..  So they met And had a heart to Heart,  Outcaste tainted lady And a Savior  Who had loved her from the start..  She must have been beautiful In her heydays Those eyes, her gait, that expression Now ravaged by age and rejection And she met an unwavering gaze..  They had a strange conversation Deep meaningful and revealing A heart thirsty for true love...

The Lord is my Shepherd

 The Lord is my Shepherd 4.11.2024 The Lord is my Shepherd  Even when my mind is racing Especially when my thoughts are chaotic When I'm on the brink of insanity The Lord is my Shepherd..  The Lord is my Shepherd Even when the voices of despair are shouting Especially when I am deafened by my inner critic When I'm caught in the whirlpool of madness The Lord is my Shepherd..  The Lord is my Shepherd Even when I can't go beyond the first line  Especially when I'm alone in the mayhem When I'm slipping down the slope of the pit The Lord is my Shepherd..  The Lord is my Shepherd Even when deep breathing doesn't help Especially when the eye movement exercises prove useless When I need to take my prn medicine The Lord is my Shepherd..  The Lord is my Shepherd Even when I resort to binging Especially when I can't stop munching When all I can do is go to sleep The Lord is my Shepherd..  The Lord is my Shepherd Even when I fall asleep in exhaustion and desp...

Our Commander during the crazy 11.10.2

 Our Commander during the crazy 11.10.2024 Anxiety was rampant Running amok in my brain Added to the crazy Was sheer physical pain..  Needed a respite Someone to share the load ‘Jesus, ‘ I begged ‘ please help me on this downhill road.. ‘ The words began to flow Full of healing and strength As my pen flew on the page The flow blew me away, in its breadth and length..  The Redeemer is as His name Specialist in the broken pieces Broken relationships,  Ironing out the creases..  He's still the Balm of Gilead The Lily of the valley The Bright and morning star Always answers, helps and rallies..  There's power in His name Not just a tired cliche But His grace freely flowing Brings wisdom and inspiration - touche..  So we can rise in His power Legions of angels fighting for us Jehovah Gibbor our leader His blood shield on us..  Stand strong my wayfarer The Lord fights on our behalf We are over comers In His name, the Name our Rod and Staff..  Lisa ...
