I write for fun, fulfillment, and other cathartic reasons. But I also hope that in some small way I can help others in desperate times and desperate situations. My faith is a great comfort to me and I want to let others know they have a God who loves them and is waiting to help them in life- if only they will turn to Him.
God bless you. Cecilia.
Card Crazy
All the presents have been purchased, and the food has been prepared.
Nothing’s been forgotten, “we’re ready” is declared.
Then another card received; that person wasn’t on your list!
Hastily one is sent, let’s hope the post has not been missed!
Such a nervous scramble, tension mounting all the while,
How can peace and calmness, pervade without a smile?
Somehow in this hustle, it’s easy to forget,
the message that is Christmas; all we see is rising debt.
How secular this world is, all tinsel and no soul.
Material possessions, seem its only goal.
So in the midst of the entire bustle, pause and take a breath.
In only a few short weeks, we’ll be declaring Jesus’ death!
His birth now reminds us, of the reason that He came.
Not to seek a fortune, or lead us on to fame.
He died because of sin, and we’re the ones to blame!
So we’ll let His coming, release our lives from shame.
Every morning comes the dawn, but how many before we die?
Lets live as He does wish us, with His commandments we’ll comply. Cjs.
Politically Correct (pc).
We’re made in the image of God, the whole of the human race.
Each and every one, from the highest and the lowest place.
So sing we loud His praises, of His love to others tell.
Teach all his little children, they must learn as well.
But the devil lurks insidious, sowing seeds of doubt,
Implying that its wrong, to send this message out.
Well-meaning individuals, believe it’s politically incorrect,
for God to have a mention, be it from any particular sect.
And those that hold no faith, also mustn’t be upset.
No prayers for the children, who must no bible readings get!
Leave God out of life, lest offence to some ensues.
Better for the majority, this path we all must choose!
If the world demands, that God leave us so alone,
why then should He protect us, if we go it on our own?
How simple to ignore the Lord, then lay blame on His head,
for the world has gone to hell, for nobody’s listened to what He’s said!
Thou shalt not steal nor kill, but love your neighbour as yourself.
His commandments thus negated, discarded….just by stealth!
Any discussion of God, is suppressed as not pc!
But the lewd and crude and vulgar, are shared for all to see!
Make a stand for Jesus, proclaim His word for all to hear!
Be concerned for what the Lord thinks, of what others say..don’t fear! Cjs.
Sibling Surliness
Why is it when we’re growing, siblings often fight?
Personalities and feelings, make each think we are right.
Thoughtless in our dealings, we give an hurtful retort.
Sometimes in annoyance, to violence we resort.
Concerning to our parents, this sad state of affairs,
on occasion all the family, of harmony despairs.
We children must remember, in the family we’ve a place.
Each must be respected, when problems we do face.
No matter what our age is, be we child or adult grown,
we all have much to learn, and will reap what we have sown.
So listen to each other, to fully understand,
the other person’s feelings, don’t do anything underhand.
Use words truly that are kind, not those that will inflame.
Never hold a grudge, or point the finger that will blame.
Our brothers and our sisters, they too are made as we.
Sons and daughters of the Lord, of whom He made this plea…..
“Be good to one another, for what you do….. you do to ME!”
So siblings love each other, and if we’ve perceived a wrong,
reconciliation is our duty, for to Christ we all belong. Cjs.
