As Dawn Brushes Darkness Away
Ever so gently Dawn comes to greet Darkness,
touching, teasing, caressing,
blushing with delicate shades of color.
Then with rushing speed, she brushes him away.
Dawn secretively allows form and shape to be seen.
Bold silhouettes stand tall. Others float upon the sea.
Ocean waves applaud the action.
Glorious sun prepares to rise above it all.
Bright rays burst through openings in the clouds,
dance in streams above the horizon,
reflect upon waves moving toward shore.
A new day breaks upon the scene.
Victorious light has ushered in the morn.
Hush and color of newness afford breath taking drama
Quiet calm and beauty bring confidence and joy.
Reality of the creative, redemptive God, offers peace.

VESSELS
VESSELS
Vessels with many shapes, sizes, colors, uses,
designed to be open, beautiful, strong;
formed and molded carefully for receiving and giving;
gifted by the maker
with varied qualities for special purposes;
precious, unique, breakable, reparable,
made new again
only
by the maker’s hand.
Celebrate each day with Messianic confidence,
as one being molded by the hand of God.

I Asked God...
I asked for strength
and God gave me difficulties.
To make me strong, so I may help the poor.
I asked for wisdom and God
gave me problems to solve.
To give me knowledge, so I may teach the poor.
I asked for prosperity and God
gave me brain and brawn.
To achieve wealth, so I may feed the poor.
I asked for courage and God
gave me danger to overcome and a will to fight ,
so I may bring justice to the poor.
I asked for love and God
gave me trouble and sadness,
so that I may give comfort to the poor.
I asked for favours and God
gave me opportunities, so I may succced in life!
So I may serve the poor.
I pray for all these things and God
gave me everything I need!
To help the poor...
