In order to become entirely his
it seems that I must welcome tests and trials,
expect to have to exercise patience,
and just continue on for metres\miles.
And also, we must bow before the God,
accepting where our lacking is displayed,
& ask him for his wisdom to have trod
where God is calling us - be not dismayed!
And when we come to trust what he has gi'en
and use it fresh from God (the only wise)
it's like he gives it staight to us from hea'en,
if only we would look up to the skies.
Then weirdest thing is what he then says to
them if they'll take the med'cine that he gives:
"that perfect and complete, may be all you,
& lacking nothing” - just as Jesus lives!
..........
“Let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.”

baby sitting...
Txt2WP: Oh sorry Dad, I'm baby sitting for friends today.
It don't sound quite right, that "baby sitting"!
I guess it's ok for babies to do,
along with weeing, screaming, & *iting,
though when adults do "baby sitting" to
those little tiny baby boys and girls,
it conjures up some damage to them big,
like inner problems, not just hair that curls,
it's more like hair that falls out, then a wig!
* can stand for a combination of letters, or the letter 'b'.

God's goodness gives, and is for giving.... reflected in praise, and general thanksgiving.
I give thanks to the LORD, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever.Psalms 136:1 (PM Version)
Oh you are, you are,
O God, you are good.
We can't see too far.
Maybe that's as should
be, but please help us
when we use our eyes
to see, and ea-ars
to hear; to surmise
truely, to discern,
then to be grateful
for good things given.
Not to be spiteful,
or take for granted
your goodness and love.
Cynically ranted
responses we'll shove
in with the rubbish,
so to be thrown out.
Then we'll refurbish,
since mind and words spout
whatever fills them
that's what will slosh out,
when something sudden-
-ly knocks things about.
So we look to you,
the source of all love,
and we say "Thank you",
and lift eyes above.

No Meet. On street!
Txt2me: Hi Paul. Some deep apologies. L. and I are taking a much needed break with our small caravan and will be away for about two weeks from tomorrow heading northwest. .... Best wishes and God's blessings upon you. G.
Go well brother Geoff,
sister Lindsay too!
We won't hold our breath,
but hope in a few
weeks we'll see again,
smilling, your faces.
Enjoy lower lanes,
and slower paces.
And recoupe the brain
in other spaces;
may your heart's refrain
keep growing graces
planted by the God
who made up you both,
your life's garden plot
enriched by your troth.

parents pray
Oh God, this job of parenting 's about
the opposite of getting all the pow'r
& prestige with our minions - like a lout!
So, as we learn from you to love in our
own situations, specially now for Han,
please give your grace to do what must be done,
not as a 'sentence' - given by a man,
but as a priv-i-lege for daughter/son
of you, whose nature is to continue
in truth and love to give your very self;
please give your rest (& grace in tiredness), to
both Han and Gil - creative as an elf!
Amen.

a friend of a friend has a car accident travelling with his family
Oh God we thank you for our brother Ben,
and for his baby Ruben too as well,
that in this time of sadness right now when
their wife & mother can not even tell
or show your love in ways Maria could.
Oh God you know her even better than
her husband and her baby did - real good..
for you're her father, & love more than man.
So we can trust her life into her hands,
and know we're not down here for all of time,
but we know Ben & babe will feel demands
and weaknesses & grief, please help them shine
& know your grace and help in time of need,
Please help us think of things that we could do.
And send people to help the baby feed,
& help Ben heal in Canberra I.C.U.
Please help his bones to knit, & heart to heal,
by crying out to you creatively,
& telling you the whole of how he feels.
You are his God, & you know, and you see!
Amen.

trust-worth-he?
How great's the one who is the God of us!! -
who made the world by speaking out his word.
As he imagined with his dreaming pow'rs,
and spoke out to the world, it's quite absurd
to think of, but the world he spoke out to
must come to BE because he spoke to it.
There's nothing His power can't bring into view,
and He has understanding - every bit!
The faith that God looks for is being sure
of what we hope for, 'coz he said it's true,
that's even when we can't see any more,
as people who are young, or old, must do.
Without this kind of trust in other folk,
we can't be human beings here at all,
for where we learn to think, and speak, and joke,
is in their com-pan-y, since we were small.
Since some folk we CAN SEE, AREN'T TRUST-WORTHY
you'd think that we would come to understand
(what people who are blind must learn early);
we MIGHT TRUST stuff we CAN'T SEE on demand.
In fact, to please invis'ble God [absurd (?)-
to these eyes in this womb-world here below?],
you must depend upon his spoken word
as much\more than this world, that doesn't know,
yet still exists because he dreams it still,
and keeps revealing, speaking out his truth
to humans who still seek the truth and will
live with it, even when it seems uncouth. ...
............
How great is our God!! There's nothing His power cannot accomplish and He has understanding of everything. Psalm 147:5 (PM Version).
Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. Without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him. Hebrews 11:1,6 (PM Version)

missed a meet up tonight
Oh God please help 'em to rest up tonight
both in their bodies & their souls as well,
and if they can come in the morning light
we know we'll have a whole lot more to tell!
Yeah I should be round -don't start work till night
I'd love to see you both - if God lets us,
and if it won't wear you out in your fight -
the fight of living love like our Jesus!

plans 4 U
Imagine some great mind, that has great plans...
& then that they could also make things well;
imagine if they made, not just demands,
but knew & loved you more than you could tell...
Imagine if those plans brought all the hopes,
adventure & delight that you could stand,
like hanging off the highest of "high ropes"
& could add to great good accross the land...
Imagine if the greatest mind there was
could know them and agree they were the best
that they had seen so far, & yet because
they were so lofty, others thought them 'jest!'
Imagine if these plans involved your 'will',
they gave you options, let you step right up,
so as you lived 'em out you're wiser till
your future & your character erupt!
If only that could be! I wish for it.
And don't you too? - Imagine if it could.
And if they stayed around to handle shit,
& help if needed... wouldn't that be good!
..........
I know the plans I have for you," says the LORD. "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:11 (PM Version)

faith prompts
"Give thanks to The Lord Almighty, for He is good and His faithful love endures forever" Jeremiah 33:11b (PM Version)
So we keep on praying, asking God to enable you to live a life worthy of His call. May He give you the power to accomplish all the good things your faith prompts you to do. 2 Thessalonians 1:11 (PM Version)
..........
Give thanks unto The Lord Almighty, for
each of the good things you've received from him
has come down from his hand, & yes there's more -
but other hands that help are sometimes dim..
& not so bright reflections of his hopes.
Good things are emanations from himself,
his children are good sheilas, & good blokes.
The secret to them creeps up like an elf:
it comes from being friends & hanging out
with their own father, growing more like Dad,
for though he can get mad, look like a lout,
he's really good, his faithful love's "not bad!" -
& it endures forever, never ends.
We keep on praying, asking God to grow
you up from inside, & as helping friends
can help you on the outside, if you know
what I mean, well it's this- enable you
to live a life that's worthy of His call.
For when he made you, sent you to this zoo,
that was your call to Wild Life, nothing small -
a Life that is not tamed by anything
except the Love between true family,
all those who have been born of God, who bring
his fam'ly feel to folk like you & me.
So may He give you pow'r to accomplish
all the good things your faith prompts you to do,
your new desires, now baptised by Jesus -
who washed our insides by his Spirit too.
