Day: January 2, 2022

These are the days given to us

Sometimes they are very cold and snarly

I think:  What happened during the night

To produce this dreamy kind of malarkey

The dark faded when it was time

It left us with chilly, gray on the incline

To be kind the wind stopped hollowing

The lake glazed over with a stage of ice

I think about all of these days and wonder

What would they become if they were seeds

And could be scattered about to grow?

What would we be getting?  A cornucopia

Of delight, joy, happiness, and goodwill or

Something more like evil, hatred, violence, and death

We will never know for it is something we can’t do

We must take the days, one by one, and live in

The one we’re in, influencing it in our unique ways

Depending on how we feel or how others

Respond to our actions.  We become the growth

In the garden, depending on so many things

And others if we are to have a chance at fruition

Many things to ponder while knowing

That there is one truth and we have

This one day to bloom in a complimentary way

It has been given to us, let us use it well

I thank God for His love as He allows words

to flow through me that are significant and

have the meaning that He conveys through

the words of the scriptures.  Today’s times

are different in many ways just as they are

the same in others.  The Four Horses of the

Apocalypse existed and still exists.  We wait

for but have to be patient for the return of

the Lord.  All events are done in his time. 

We are anxious as we witness a corrupt world. 

We pray for intervention for the sake of the

abused.  Innocent people are turned into slaves. 

Christians are being killed in many countries. 

We cry for justice and are unjust ourselves. 

We must prepare to receive His grace.  He

is ultimately the one we turn to and the

one we should follow.  We should focus on

this day as the past is over and tomorrow will be new.
