 God Did Bless

From His thoughts He worked a place for us

In six days Heaven and Earth created

On the seventh day to this God did bless

Day one, light gave to day and night dictated

Sky rose as waters divided, day two

Day three, sea & land and grass & seed allocated

To this setting how splendid the view

Now everything in place for life to thrive

As God saw, this was good, He knew

Day four, the sun, the moon, and stars arrive

Giving us days, weeks, months, and years

Creatures of the sea and air, day five

Day six, the rest of life appears

Every living land dweller created

Man made in His image as He prefers

With man in mind this world He designated

From His thoughts He worked a place for us

In six days His thoughtfulness cultivated 

On the seventh day to this God did bless

Inspiration: Book of Genesis, Chapter 1. Key Verses 3-29.  Chapter 2 Key Verses 1-3 "Thus the heavens and the earth, and all the host of them, were finished.

Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He rested from all His work which God had created and made" (NKJV).

 Fallen Countenance

The first crime against man became unveiled

Man's being declined to that unacceptable

As anger rose when Cain's countenance failed

From the ground Abel's blood wailed

For to this God was perceptible

The first crime against man became unveiled

Denial of his sacrifice, his heart detailed

Resentment gave to hate susceptible

As anger rose when Cain's countenance failed

Warned the sin of anger, it still prevailed

As jealousy took hold expressible

The first crime against man became unveiled

To this the results, a life curtailed

For him the punishment imperceptible

As anger rose when Cain's countenance failed

Denial of offering, action assailed

When to Cain this not acceptable

The first crime against man became unveiled

As anger rose when Cain's countenance failed

   ©Doris Elaine

Inspiration: Book of Genesis, Chapter 4. Key Verses 3-5 "And in the process of time it came to pass that Cain brought an offering of the fruit of the ground to the Lord. Abel also brought of the firstborn of his flock and of their fat. And the Lord respected Abel and his offering, but He did not respect Cain and his offering. And Cain was very angry and his countenance fell" (NKJV). Verse 7-8 "If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not well, sin lies at the door. And its desire is for you, but you should rule over it. Now Cain talked with Abel his brother, and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother and killed him" (NKJV). Verse 10-11 "And He said, what have you done? The voice of your brother's blood cries out to me from the ground. So now you are cursed from the earth, which has opened it mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand" (NKJV). 

A Poem for The Season

  Christmas of Strange

This year Christmas season has change

Due this ongoing virus event

Making for us a Christmas of strange

Barely seeing any bright lights arrange

As people's spirit is past bent

For this year Christmas season has change

We've had a year of life rearrange

Now hard in this season to be content

Making for us a Christmas of strange

Some do forget what Christmas represents

For it's not about gifts nor the displays

But the birth of Christ that Christmas presents

It's to this our spirit should be ablaze

No matter how strange this world gets

As we try to open our hearts to praise

This season we observe as life permits

Although this year Christmas season has change

The spirit of Christmas Joy He transmits

In making for us a Christmas not strange

      ©Doris Elaine

Thoughts: "Then the angle said to them, Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring good tidings of great joy will be to all people. For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be the sign to you: You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angle a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying: "Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!" (Luke 2:10-14. NKJV). 

Merry Christmas and Be safe!

A Poem For Thought

 Everything Good

This I've known and do understand

It's not a mystery, nor hard to know

Most times It's to the Lord of everything good

And to this give thought, if one would

Sometimes satan makes good to his will show

This I've known and do understand

One needs to pay attention as one should

To the circumstances that are bestow

Most times it's to the Lord of everything good

But to good give praise where praise deserved

As one should know satan is full of tricks

And to trickery no praise be served

If with good the Lord is in the mix

It's clear then to Him is praise to be

For in these times righteousness depicts

Good not always clear to what you see

This I've always known and understood

When good is from above one can agree

These times it's to the Lord of everything good

      ©Doris Elaine

Thoughts: Many times when good happens we can misunderstand to where it came. I know I have at times. I have and are learning to be careful to whom giving thanks when good happens and do try to understand the circumstances of the event. For instance; winning the lottery. Well, that's gambling, not very Christian like. To say Thank You Lord, I believe would be a miscalculation. Why would the Lord approve or give one a winning ticket when let's face it, that's gambling? Again, Not Christian Like! Good does not always come from the Lord. Satan is a master at trickery and will even influence one into thinking his or her actions of wrong are okay by creating something good to come out of it just to trick one into continuing the wrongful act. Most good is from the Lord, because He is good. Just be aware of the circumstances and know the Lord is the creator of good, but in this world devilish influence can change to bad everything good. 

A Poem For Thought

What's Important

Life; existence of endorsement

Living in position of reference

Significance of what's important

Self; life taking it's own warrant

Placing one's existence in reverence

Life; existence of endorsement

Others; your purpose absorbent

Extension of what is held of preference

Significance of what's important

Time; something that becomes out lived

When spent to that insignificant

One's duration vitally deprived

Important; of being significant

Where to life one gives of self

As others enter as a participant

Middle; togetherness being our-self

Life; existence of endorsement

Where to this becomes it-self

Significance to what's important

      ©Doris Elaine

Thoughts: Mine to yours, yours to mine. Give and take when vitally needed; but, the middle is where life meets the significance to what's important. 

Happy Thanksgiving Day!

  We love our family and friends, but spending Thanksgiving with them may make you want to unpack your boxing gloves as sometimes they can bring out the worse in us. No matter what the Thanksgiving situation, there probably will be some moments that you need to carefully navigate through. It's best to adopt the advice of Proverbs 21:23:

"Whoever guards his mouth and tongue keeps his soul from troubles" (NKJV) 

Happy Thanksgiving Day!

“And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body, and be thankful” (Colossians 3:15. NKJV)

 A Mate for Thee

As man stood in the garden with glee

God decided it's not good he be alone

He knew man needed a mate for thee

God brought all His creatures for man to see

But for man none comparable was shown

As man stood in the garden with glee

God caused man to rest to His decree

As He crafted a mate from man's bone

He knew man needed a mate for thee

Man awaking the mate was brought to him

Knowing she from he, he named her woman

As to this he proclaimed in a hymn

God joined them as was to His plan

The two are now one in flesh as mates

Although only one man as it began

Knowing what's needed to what He creates

As man stood in the garden with glee

God saw to man's increase this need dictates

For He knew man needed a mate for thee

    ©Doris Elaine

Inspiration: Book of Genesis, Chapters 2:18-25, Key Verse 2:18 “And the Lord God said, "it is not good that man should be alone; I will make a helper comparable to him".

Promise He Keeps His Way

One can believe what He does say

Even when it seems impossible

To His promise He will keep His way

Although action taken due dismay

In the mist of this made possible

One can believe what He does say

When he heard His voice he did obey

But the voice of her made transposable

To His promise He will keep His way

Although the impossible one may wait

However in believing and following

One's faith made strong in one's fate

Then the impossible seen in honoring

The promise made in time of past

And to this one delights in wallowing

Because of one's obedience at last

As one believing what He does say

One stayed faithful and steadfast

And to this promise He will keep His way

New "Words of Inspiration" Poem

One Language Done

In our distant past we spoke as one

Our language was all the same

And understanding was of everyone

But to this, high and mighty we overrun

Our thoughts of self did make claim

For in our distant past we spoke as one

Our place in growth to heaven was spun

In order to make for us a name

This was the understanding of everyone

Because our need for power had begun

God decided to put a stop to this fame

As in our distant past we spoke as one

So our language of same was done

To each a different language became

And so was understanding of no one

Now our language many as one undone

Where in our distant past we spoke as one

To our glory as one did shame

For this understanding is of everyone

Inspiration: Book of Genesis, Chapter 11: 1-9. Key Verse 1: "Now the whole earth had one language and one speech" (NKJV). Key Verse 4: "And they said, "Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top is in the heavens; let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered over the face of the whole earth" (NKJV). Key Verses 7-8: "Come let Us go down and there and confuse their language, that they may not understand one another's speech". So The Lord scattered them abroad from there over the face of all the earth, and they ceased building the city" (NKJV).
