ASSUMING

After observing actions or hearing words, choices come forward. Celebration of happiness may occur, while at other times there may be concern. Either way, showing care, rather than assuming what is or is not, can change a life. God does not assume; He gives us the benefit of the doubt.

LOOKING AT LOST TIME

LOOKING AT THE LOST TIME
Can one make up for lost time? Not really. Move on from where the moment is right now. The past cannot be changed, but what will happen next is between you and God!

LIFE'S FOUNDATION

When based on positive experiences, the foundation of life is solid. If sadness or anger tears down this unit, a new one slowly rebuilds. At its center is the Holy Spirit, taking in the body and soul. Holding the unknown future, it will remain firm, because of God’s great strength.
~Marie T. Morrison~

RISING UP

A favorite phrase is, “I will raise you up..”. So many ways have I been lifted! God has raised my spirituality, my care for others, my humor, my learning, my teaching and my love for one another. I know I am not alone among my brethren. Praising God, as He lifts me, never ceases!

A SPECIAL GIFT

A SPECIAL GIFT
Taking something special of yours and handing it to someone else to enjoy can bring more pleasure than keeping it yourself. If we listen, we will hear God’s voice, thanking us for sharing His gifts.

ONE MORE PUSH

As exhaustion is felt, there is a feeling of wanting to quit. Reaching beyond exhaustion is God, helping to give one more push, moving His loved ones along the never-ending road of life.

PRIORITIES

Keeping the priorities in life are important. Tending to a living creature is much more important than tending to a clean house. The house will always be there, but our loved ones won’t. Take care of all those having a heart, soul and mind, just as God has told us to do. It will be something we will never regret.

A CHAT

Handing someone a cup of tea can completely change someone’s day, making it be pleasant, rather than one filled with concern. Once the worry has disappeared, there is time to have a chat with God, thanking Him for all the goodness he has provided in one’s life.

STRAIGHT AND NARROW

Following the straight and narrow path can be tough at times. That may be, but the door at the end of the path is open wide, to welcome those who have chosen to lead a life in the image of God. How great eternity will be, already following God’s ways while on earth!
~Marie T. Morrison~

SENSATION

Take a minute to drink in your surroundings. Taste that first sensation of where your eyes have taken you. Refresh those memories of what you touch and see.
Hear God responding to those times. Feel a renewal of strength as you begin your day.
~Marie T. Morrison~

WHAT GOD IS WAITING FOR

Often asked is when God will answer a prayer, waiting for that special moment. God also is waiting, for the minute He is truly taken into one’s life. He will patiently wait, dancing with His Child when the time comes, of being welcomed into the heart, soul and mind, knowing the shared love will be everlasting.

HIDE AND SEEK

My faithful readers,
I came across a request on my poetry site, to write a poem that rhymed, for the parents of a seven year old boy, suddenly passing away on November 7. Given were a jot list of what Kyle loved. I prayed to God for the words to say, writing the lines as I was blessed with them.
Please do put Kyle in your prayers, as doctors do not know why he passed away. Tests are still being done to give the parents an answer. In this writing, I mention Scott. He passed away at the young age of 24, from an enlarged heart, unbeknown to the family. He had just started out on a mountain hike when he collapsed and died.
This is not a lyrical poem of sadness, as the request was to write something light. As I frequently mention, it is God giving me the words on what to say. Playing hide and seek were His words on what to write.

HIDE AND SEEK
Kyle was just a little boy,
Gorgie was his favorite dog.
Kyle did not need any toy,
Gorgie meant more than any ol' frog.

Together, they loved Sponge Bob,
Carrying him everywhere,
They always laughed, never a sob,
Happily singing without a care.

Never were the two apart,
Going from the park to town,
In sync was the beating heart,
As beautiful as Kyle’s hair and loving eyes of brown.

During a game of hide and seek,
Kyle could not be found.
Gorgie looked for more than a week,
Kyle went away, without a sound.

Gorgie will continue to look,
And so will his mom and dad,
They will continue to check every nook,
Not finding him has left his best friends sad.

God will take care of Kyle,
Many will look for his secret hiding place.
He will be loved all the while,
Hopefully soon, someone will
Find his home base.

Kyle left on the birthday of another,
My own nephew was born that day.
He was also playing hide and seek,
Never coming home after a day at play.

Now in Heaven, the two boys, Kyle and Scott,
Sponge Bob and Plato between them,
Are laughing, singing, never being caught,
As they play hide and seek, whispering,
“It’s okay, I’ve tagged ‘im!”
