I had found the perfect poem on Believe, but have temporarily misplaced it, looked all through my fav’s, looked through all my notes, all my notebooks, searched on line & searched on line, found one that is a good one, not sure  this one was my fav. but it is a nice one & is starting to sound familiar the more I read it

 

I Believe

 

I believe
in one who sets me free
I believe
in one who heals me
I believe
in one who comforts me
I believe
in one who gives me joy
I believe
in one who softens my heart
I believe
in one who gives me everything
I believe
in one who leads me
I believe
in one who speaks to me
I believe
in one who gives me life
I believe
in one who shows me mercy
I believe
in one who prays for me
I believe
in one who is wonderful
I believe
in one who died for me
Now who do you believe in?

SOFT RAIN

have you ever awaken to the sound of rain?It was raining ever so softly early this morning around 4:30 am, since I was up I decided ok why not so I make coffee, & research poems on rain , you know me & my poems! LOL, when you have time you should type in Judy Jacobs “WE Agree”on you tube, she sings a powerful song on Believing God for a latter rain, the Bible speaks of a latter rain coming of an outpouring of God’s power, a time of refreshing & renewing of the spirit

Soft Rain

A soft rain falls outside my window,its sounds play in consonance with
the steady rhythm of my heart.
I watch mesmerized as each liquid bead
bounces off budding greenery, flower petals, and
blades of freshly mown grass.
With a splatter, each burst forth into tiny crystal rivulets,
randomly rushing headlong on their cursory course
to a pre-arranged destiny of final absorption.
Light rain. Spring rain. Latter rain.
It fills my soul. My cup overflows.
As quickly as it had begun,
this afternoon shower is almost done.
Comforting – soothing – relaxing – this spring rain is.
It washes the earth and cleanses the heart,
leaving my inner being composed and serene.
Ever so gently, it lulls me into a welcoming nap.
I wake refreshed.
From my window, as I soak in the beauty of a freshly bathed earth,
I see sunlight sparkling through silken threads of dwindling raindrops.
Renewed and invigorated, I stretch relaxed muscles and
breathe in ionic-charged air.
For the moment, peace prevails
deep within the recesses of my soul.
With it, a tranquility is sustained,
like the vibrancy of green after the rain.

PASSING OF A DEAR FRIEND

‎2 days ago my sweet little 80 something yr old neighbor told her family that she saw her whole life relived and that God told her He was there in the beginning & all thru the middle and that he would be there with her in the end-yesterday she closed her eyes for a nap in the recliner & went on to be with the Lord-we all should be so blessed when our time comes...

MY SHEEP KNOW MY VOICE

 

I am the good shepherd and know my sheep and am known of mine~As the Father knoweth me,even so know I the Father :and I lay down my life for the sheep~And other sheep I have which are not of this fold,them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice and there shall be one fold and one shepherd (John 10:14-16)
