Life is Fleeting

 Life is fleeting….. 

Today your here, tomorrow gone. 

A memory left, a family alone. 

Hearts broken, peace be still 

Dreams lost, hope unfilled. 

A fight that was fought, 

memories made, 

Hope instilled

Hope betrayed

Life is fleeting, 

then it’s gone… 

Hold them close, 

Hold them strong.

Tomorrow is not promised 

Today is here..

Life is short 

Time is near

A vapor some say

Life today

Here, then gone… 

Vanishing before our eyes

Like a song…. 

Strong, soft, weak 

The time is near, 

The time is now…. 

Life is fleeting 

You wonder how…

Where did it go 

Why…. 

But life is fleeting 

then gone

Like a vapor, a song..

Time not promised.

The present is here

Love them now, 

Hold them dear.

Freedom

I can remember as a child I did not understand freedom. I did not understand the price that was paid, wars that were fought, the struggle, the strife, the pain America suffered to be established. 1776 seems like long ago, but once you study a history lesson and learn about other countries, governments and kingdoms that have been formed, 239 years is not very long. I fear with all that is going on in the United States right now, what will happen to us, but I am thankful for the freedom that I have right now. I am thankful for the founding fathers who desired freedom.  Though this country was founded on God and the Bible, we are far from it now and that is what scares me, because what we were founded upon is going away, will the country last? You see in leadership you have to have vision and our founding father's vision is slightly skewed now days, so what will become of America. Look at the Children of Israel,once the few made it to the promise land, one generation past and they ...

Guard your heart

I will never forget the day I read the scripture that says Guard your heart...... or maybe I read a commentary on it or heard a speaker speak on it, but it really made a lot of sense to me how important it is to guard your heart. Proverbs is suppose to be a book of wisdom and wisdom it is and more !!!  You have heard the saying, garbage in and garbage out... well that is it in it's simplest form, yet so much deeper than that. "  Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life." Proverbs 4:23(NIV) So why isn't this burned in our minds as a child? why can't we possibly understand this until we are in our 20's, 30's or even older when we have lived a life of low self esteem and low self worth and we are searching for that significance, that purpose and we realize... "oh well we must guard our heart".  I was thinking the other day, ok I have met way too many girls and women with low self worth and low self esteem and these ar...

What Matters in the end...

Image
I recently was asked to give my testimony. I really do not like doing it because it makes me feel like I am giving a history of my life basically. With all the dysfunction and problems exposed and out in the open. But more importantly than the vulnerability is the fact that I really do not want people to feel sorry for me. The look in their eyes when I give my testimony is something I would really rather not see. I tell myself though by giving my testimony I might help someone else along the way who might be dealing with or have dealt with some of the same things I am. This time though, I did it a little different. I gave God the glory and reminded everyone that my story is really His Story in that he did an amazing work in me. I say that because I remember where he brought me from. Do you remember where he brought you from? I like the scripture "he brought me out of the miry pit" Psalm 40:2. That would have to be my life verse. As I am reminded my life could have went eit...
