For the eternal life of man

And love them as the Lord's designed

Satisfied that you have enough!

Filter Out the World One Day In Seven

Where was my filter
To shut the word out?
I was in error.
There is no doubt!
I am so sorry.
For I know you're in pain.
How I do worry!
Yes, the word was profane!

************************
Break From the World We Share

It's "in the moment"
That the world comes out
The ears lie open
And listen about
Walk away and sing
So you won't later grieve
Hold to the spirit
Say goodbye and leave

Still, there's no escape!
Again and again
This audiotape
Is stuck at the end!
What am I to do?
I'm filled with dispair!
The Sabbath, renews?
Do not doubt.  I'm there!

Break from the world we share!
One day out of seven
And show the Lord you care!
His day is like Heaven

That Christ's Light Can Shine Through

https://www.lds.org/bible-videos/videos/jesus-declares-i-am-the-light-of-the-world-the-truth-shall-make-you-free?lang=eng&_r=1

Hold on to what you know
As it's a part of you
Only the best of it show
That Christ's light can shine through

Mend

Make the wounded whole
Mend the wearied soul
Extend the family tree
Share how each came to be

Love the Lord

The Lord asked, "Peter, Lovest thou me?"
Three times in the end
One for each time he'd denied Him
We all forget our friend.

Love the Lord. Don't deny Him
If you do... NOW! Repent!
You know naught what did try Him
For you, to what extent

Broken Homes Can Mend

Broken homes can mend
Bettered by Jesus Christ
Pray now this begin
So children can be all right

Kintsukuroi Master Refiner

 

Broken.  Shattered, in fact.
One feels SO of no use.
But, our souls can be put back!
Oh, how this is good news!

The Master refiner of gold
Picks up the pieces, the shards
And makes beauty out of the old
Us, He never ever discards

Transformed out of our pain
There's awe in what we've been through
See now what was once plain?
Wow!  What His atonement can do!

;The belief of kintsukuroi is that the piece is more beautiful for being broken. This is a great metaphor for our lives. In the Bible, Job declares his belief that when his trials are over, he “shall come forth as gold.”https://www.ldsdaily.com/personal-lds-blog/this-beautiful-japanese-technique-of-fixing-pottery-teaches-us-gospel-truth/

You'll not get home on the Lazy River
Expect to get tossed about
You may experience your faith waver
But do not give in to doubt

You Are In Good Company

Friends, you don't think you have any,
Because you feel quite beat up.
Know, you are in good company.
The Lord drank up your bitter cup.
In truth, this was just one of many.

Second Coming

“His eyes as a flame of fire"; 
May they penetrate my soul

Arrayed in His brilliance of light
May His touch ignite me whole

And his voice," the rush of great waters", 
May He prepare me for glorious matters

How glorious will be that day
Of The Truth, The Light, The Way!

“His eyes were as a flame of fire;
 the hair of his head was white like the pure snow; 
his countenance shone above the brightness of the sun; 
and his voice was as the sound of the rushing of great waters”  
Doctrine and Covenants 110:3

Minister Again and Again

Just as dew daily comes, let Heaven

Nourish and bathe you in light    

Fed with faith, in thanks, given

Minister much through insight.

Minister- give time, converse, encourage

“It takes time, conversations 
and encouraging experience 
that will help rebuild faith,” 
Andersen said. 
“It comes more like the dew from heaven 
than a one-time blast from a fire hose. 
You have to minister again and again 
as you help someone turn back to God, 
again relying on the Savior 
and his atonement.”

Chew On It

God nourishes us
A nibble at a time
How this encourages
For His new thing to try

Take the First Step

Please, take the first step
And I'll invite you in
Lean. I will forget
That you hurt me in sin.
