Break the Curse- poem

Break the curse they said, 

Start a new 

but before long 

Addiction set in 

Depression, 

a new view

Does Addiction come first 

or depression start

or is it self medication 

of a broken heart?

Natural, or man made 

It's all the same-  up, down

a cycle round 

Everyday no choice 

to make 

It gets you in it's hold 

LIFE STOLE

but you need it and want it 

each day

it anchors you down

a living decay.

And the 

Curse is still there 

Wings broken, no care

Apathy all around....

and you can't get off the ground.

a fledgling still 

the bottom of the hill.

a clouded mind

ties that bind

Curse not broken 

only.......you 

cause you decided to self 

medicate 

decide your own fate. 

No matter though 

how far you go

Hope still remains 

to get up 

clear up

fall seven 

eight,get up nine. 

Break the curse

while there's time.

Just One Towel in this Privileged Life.

Image
 I was joking with my niece the other day about the kids keeping their towel that they swim with and re-using it. She joked back and said and you get one towel for the shower all week too.  I am sure I might have said that at some point. Encouraging less waste and holding on to your towel and using it more than once.  Maybe it is unusual in this privileged life we lead.  Yes I said privileged life as we have so much here in America, we waste so much and it's okay that is what we do. But is it really? I recently got to travel and let me tell you we stayed at an AIR BNB which was someone's home and guess how many towels they gave us for a 3 day stay? 1 towel each. Not per day, but for the whole stay. I have stayed with others who also do that. So it isn't uncommon in other countries or in this country to use one towel for a few days.  So I started thinking what else... well in other countries  It isn't uncommon to ride public transportation all over everyday.  A majority

The garden of life..

As I was doing my devotion this morning, lots of things on my mind and as I was writing my prayers I wrote something like this... As I stumble through the weeds and briers of life dear Lord, please help me see the flowers among all the brush, help me to come out unharmed, unscratched and with the hope only you can give. I began to think how life is like that. Often coming upon obstacles that knock our feet out from under us and how we must go on and do the best we can. Each day IS NEW and we choose how we re-act to all the briers and weeds that try to smother out the sunshine. Hoping that bud underneath will bloom into the beautiful flower it could be.    As I began to pray, I thought about my husband and how he is such a blessing to others. How people want to glean from his happiness, his joy and want to be in his presence because of the positive vibes, good counsel and hope that he has. I am thankful for him and what he stands for!! What a light he has, although he has not always

Upon this Rock I will build my Church

I often think of this scripture found in Matt 16:18 And I say also unto thee, that thou are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.  I think of this scripture when I think of the "church" and I am in no way a scholar on all this, you would have to talk more to my husband who is...lol.. nah just kidding.. but I do know what God has revealed to me. Jesus wanted the "church " built around Peter's faith and ministry and the disciples and what was He(Jesus) teaching them? He was teaching them to love others, to care for others and disciple others. James 1:26-27 If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion in vain. Pure religion and undefiled before God is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction and to keep himself unspotted from the world .  Whew.. I am convicted each time I read this.... and you kno
