A Reflection

WE HAVE COVENANTS BETWEEN PEOPLE AND

BETWEEN GOD AND US., ONE THING FOR SURE

IS THAT GOD’S COVENANT IS NEVER BROKEN,

BUT WE MEN ARE WEAK. WE MAKE COMMITMENTS,

GIVE OUR WORD-OUR BOND, THEN BREAK AWAY FROM

WHAT WE SAID. IF WE ARE COGNESCENT OF OUR FAILURES

WE WILL BE SORRY AND THEN ATTEMPT TO GROW

AND BECOME STRONG AGAIN, SO THAT OUR WORD

MAY BE RELIED ON. GOD IS PATIENT WITH US. HIS

ONLY SONN DIED FOR OUR SINS AND HE OOKS TO

NOW FOR GOODNESS.IT IS OUR TIME TO EXERCISE

VIRTURE.

PEACEFUL CONTEMPLATIONS

Quiet prevails in the waiting room

Lunch hour taking place

I wait in peace and

Think of the needs of others

There are many hardships

Along with many blessings

We have to differentiate or

Wind up in a mental mess

We all have more than we think

Good health is most important

Consideration for others is powerful

It is even transformational

Lifting someone up from dread

Can be a life enriching experience

I think about potential calm

The loveliness of the peaceful feeling

Early morning communication with nature

Listening to the sounds; the music

Then the planning to provide

This theater of dramatics to others

Not easy, but it is doable if

The recipient is open to receiving

Prophets are never welcome

In their homeland and advice from a friend

Falls into a similar category, but

There is a spoken word that must be said

A crying baby often needs attention

We approach gently, with grace

We teach to listen; to search for light

To meditate on the source of this

There is a crack in everything

That is how the light gets in

So we look until we are successful and

Find the place where we may enter

We are attempting to renew life

For others and ourselves in the process

I hear my name being called

Time for my appointment

Time to take my counsel and perhaps

Offer the same to my caretaker
