You must listen for that still soft voice inside.

You must read God’s words.

You must follow His directions.

Go down 5 lines. Make a right turn. Start there.

Don’t worry about what you don’t see or understand.

Just do what God says, for He sees it all and knows it all.

A Fall Season

I picked up falling leaves that

Had falling from the trees

And were waiting to die

I found them hiding beneath a bench

Caressing the ground not making a sound

They were huddled into a circle of round

Some were green and some were brown

With a hint of orange sunshine

I wondered if they were having family circle time

As I walked away without a sound

Some four or five leaves blow my way

As if to say

Take us with you on this cold cloudy fall day

I Asked God, why do leaves

Fall and die?

–––––––—

God answered me and said,

"To every thing there is a season,

and a time to every purpose under the heaven…" (Ecclesiastes 3)

Memory Box

I looked into my memory box and found

Things that were no longer dear to me

I started to discard them with out a care

Then I heard a soft voice say, hey

You’d better not dare,

For those in heaven above

Would give you such a stare

God why?

––––––––––––

God answered me and said,

"Give and it will be given to you…" (Luke 6:38)

It is best to find someone for whom you could share
