The poisonous attitude
that the world
owes
me

Entitlement.

The very best
antidote
for this
is

Thankfulness.

A grateful attitude
for what
I
already
have.

Help me hear
the
Higher Voice

There is a place
for the wonders
that distract me now,

but first
bring order into my life
and help me to maintain it
...................

Then
will be the time
to listen
to the singing
.............,..

Cj2016
A hope and a prayer.  There is a time for everything.
In Me you have peace
take courage
though you may suffer
take heart
I
have conquered
this world.

As you walk
hand in hand
with Me,
I am in you
and you in Me.

Therefore
each day
walk
courageously.

How I am able to live and move and have my being...
guns don't ****

people do

guns gather dust in the corner
of a peaceful
person's
home

that thing called
the second
amendment

it is a man's  right

to protect himself
against
the
tyranny
of governments
criminals
and
terrorists

those who would
take
away
your freedom
and
your life

the criminals
the terrorists
the governments

will
always
always
always

find a way
find a way
find a way

to get a gun
to get a gun
to get agun

to control you
to control you
to control you

and
strip  strip strip
you  you you
of
your your your
freedom freedom freedom

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

to steal from you
to
take
your
life
and the lives of  the children...

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

if you take
all
the
guns
away
from
peaceful
law-abiding
citizens

then

only
only
only

criminals
c­­riminals
criminals

terrorists
terrorists
terrorists

and

tyran­n­ical governments
tyrannical governments
tyrannical governments

will have them


then

how will
how will
how will

the peace lover

protect
protect
protect

himself

or you?

protect

his freedom

and yours?

the killing

will

never stop...

gun control

will never stop

the dying

as long as we have

human nature

we need

the kingdom of God

as long as

man

makes all the rules

he will call

all the shots

all the shots

all the shots

all the shots

all the shots

all the shots

.............

case in point...chicago is synonomous these days with "gun control".  there are 50 more shooting victims year to date than all of 2015
picturing

God's hands

placing

one at a time

my problems
worries
griefs and sorrows
joy
and  thanksgivings

the placing of it all

into loving hands

and yes,

finally

I climb in too.

serenity......a place of safety and peace
Words help us move on over to the other side....
sometimes a whole lot quicker...
helping us to see where we have been …
to see where we want to move on to....
and where we never want to return..

My own may dwindle
to a whisper
as a flame in a candle
goes out
only to become
smoke
.....
....
..

But a  connection
to The Voice
gives me life
Words of Life
flowing to me
........through me........

Words
which can only come from
The Way
The Truth
The Life

This Voice
gives me
Words of Hope

His Voice
His Words
become
His Life
in me
....

His Voice
....flows through me....

Not of myself

His Voice
becomes mine
incrementally

slowly
I am transformed

nothing
is by my power
or might
only by His Spirit
in me
......

by His Spirit
day by day
.....I am transformed.....

CJ 2016
If God is for someone

No one

can be against them.....

But we must all

(believers, that is)

humble ourselves
....and pray....

If My people
turn, repent, and pray

I will heal their land.

No man

no group

no EVIL

can

stop

ME.

Cj2016
GOD is not a man, that He should lie.

Remember Pharoah?

He and his minions ALL DROWNED in the RED SEA.

Stand still and see what God does.
Standing
Innumerable
Shining
Written in light
Like living hymns
All for His glory.

Cj 20170106
Oh give thanks
unto the Lord
for He is good
and His mercies,
Oh yes
His mercies,
they never fail us
never.
His mercies
they
endure
forever
and ever
and
ever more.

So much we take for granted.  
So seldom, and maybe only as a last resort,
do we get what we really deserve.
