Below is a poem my friend Tilly wrote and I wanted to share it all with you. Please let me know what you think of it.
Blessings abundant rain from His hand
touched by the Master, yielded to Him
in the storms of the soul
His promise still true
My child through it all
through it all
I'm with you
He is the Man of great sorrows
despised and rejected
forsaken by men
and acquainted with grief
wounded for sins
He never committed
chastised for our peace
all was laid upon Him
He was oppressed
He was afflicted
He bore all our sorrows
and is touched with our pain
but we hid our faces
how we despised Him
we considered Him smitten
we did not esteem
Father forgive us
for we have rejected
we have forsaken
and we have not believed
but with such great compassion
You have redeemed us
You have drawn us with mercy
and with grace have received
Sing oh thou thot barren
break forth into singing
lengthen your cords, strengthen your stakes
Fear not I command you
for you will no longer remember
the shame of your youth
I your God will not forsake
I am your Husband
I will not reject you
I do not abandon
I do not refuse
I will have compassion
nor will I rebuke you
says the Lord your Redeemer
for my name is Truth
Oh you so afflicted
storm tossed, without comfort
though the mountains depart
and the hills be removed
yet My love and My kindness
My covenant of completeness
should all things be shaken
I will not forsake you
No weapon that is formed
against you shall prosper
so come to the waters
come be renewed
for you shall be led forth
with joy by your Leader
and the mountains shall break forth
into song before you
Instead of the thorn
shall come up the cypress
and instead of the brier
the myrtle tree
and it shall come to pass
says the Lord your Redeemer
as an everlasting sign
a memorial to Me
With age-enduring love
I will have compassion
My covenant of peace will not be removed
if your night is endless
bring your darkness before me
I will cause dawn to break
through the darkness for you
For you are beloved
hear Me, YOU ARE BELOVED
I AM your Kinsmen Redeemer
so come unto Me
I will prove Myself faithful
I will be your portion
from everlasting to everlasting
I AM eternity
Have a God Blessed day.

MORE POWER
More power, more power. Ooo ooo ooo As Tim Allen would say. I have more power. I bought myself a riding mower yesterday and was tooling around my yard today mowing my lawn. Oooo Oooo OOOO. What a rush. Little old me on that big horking tracktor. I felt powerful and alive. It's about time I got a riding mower. Pushing the old mower left me lifeless and panting for air. I would have to quit every few feet and take a few breaths and a break. Now I can skoot around in style and finish in no time flat. Too bad summer is nearly over and I can't enjoy it too much longer but then there is next year to look forward to.
Too bad they don't make riding snow blowers. Well I guess they do but they are called front end loaders and made for much bigger areas than my yard. I guess I will just have to trudge along pushing the snow blower. I'm not complaining mind you. I am very happy to have a snow blower and not need to shovel. Yech! No way I could lift a shovel. The stairs will stay full of snow but my walkways and driveway will be clean.
So why haven't they invented a riding vacume or floor sweeper or for that matter a riding floor washer. Only men get the good machines. We still have to do everything by hand and foot. If men did more house cleaning we would have the easier machines. Not complaining again of course as it could be worse. At least someone invented the broom, mop and vacume. Our poor ancestors had to do all that on their hands and knees. Mind you, in a long run, they were better off for it. They got their excercise for free and didn't have to join a spa to get in shape.
We have it so easy now a days in comparison so why are we all so much more stressed out each day? We run run run around doing doing doing and what do we really get accomplished?
Imagine getting up at 5:00 in the morning and feeding livestock and milking them, collecting eggs etc. Then coming in to a large breakfast that momma made while dressing and getting 12 kids ready for the day. Fresh bakes bread, hand churned butter, freshly slaughtered bacon, home grown fresh potatoes, free run chicken eggs, hand sqeezed orange juice, milk from the cows, etc. Talk about being busy and the day is just beginning. Then having to go out and plow the fields with a horse and whatever it is they call that thing they drag behind it. Then planting acres and acres of vegies to keep you over the winter.
And WE THING WE HAVE STRESS. Sheesh, how did they survive? I guess they were just too busy to have stress.
Now I have to worry about gas and oil changes. And do you ever need new tires for a riding mower? What if something breaks? What do I do? What if the thing tips over? Will I be able to turn it over? What if I lose the key? How do I start it then? Worry worry worry. What have I got myself in for? Maybe I could just take a pair of scissors and clip the grass that way. Better yet, maybe I will get a cow and wouldn't have to worry about mowing. Just milking and vet bills and feeding and and and..............
Have a powerful day.

WHAT COLOUR SHOULD YOUR BLOG BE?
| Your Blog Should Be Purple |
 You're an expressive, offbeat blogger who tends to write about anything and everything. You tend to set blogging trends, and you're the most likely to write your own meme or survey. You are a bit distant though. Your blog is all about you - not what anyone else has to say. |
WHAT PATTERN IS YOUR BRAIN?
| Your Brain's Pattern |
 You have a dreamy mind, full of fancy and fantasy. You have the ability to stay forever entertained with your thoughts. People may say you're hard to read, but that's because you're so internally focused. But when you do share what you're thinking, people are impressed with your imagination. |
