JOURNAL=LOVE=A DREAM WORTH LIVING

JOURNAL-LOVE-THE ONLY DREAM WORTH LIVING




“The Lord is my SHEPHERD; I shall not want
IN VERDANT PASTURES-he gives me repose
Beside RESTFUL WATERS he leads me
He REFRESHES my SOUL” Psalm 23:1-3


I have ALWAYS LOVED the 23^rd psalm-WHERE do you FIND the VERDANT PASTURES in your life-or the RESTFUL WATERS


FOR me-it is in my home-in my bedroom at rest-or WHEN I FIND the time to write new poetry-while looking at the lake outside of my apartment-or WHEN at the OCEAN-wherever it is for you-I am sure that it is a place that BRINGS you peace-and I AM SURE that it is a place that reminds you of HOW MUCH LOVE God has for you-as it does me


it is a GREAT DAY to be ALIVE in GOD'S LOVE for us and a great day to RECOGNIZE the green pastures and fresh waters-and SPEND TIME with God there today












LOVE-A DREAM WORTH LIVING




“IF I have ALL FAITH
So as to move mountains
But I do not have love
I AM NOTHING” 1 Corinthians 13:2


WHEN I was younger
In my late teens
In my early 20's
I had a PLAN A


And Plan A
Was to meet someone
Settle down
Have a family and a career
And LIVE HAPPILY ever after


And I am SURE
There are those of you
That had that same dream
As I


It's funny
HOW things work out


MY WHOLE LIFE
Changed on my 22^nd birthday
With an operation


AND GOD
Brought me back to him


And maybe GOD
HAS BROUGHT YOU
Back to him
In some other way


I HOPE SO


For there are many of us
Out there
Who have lost track
Of themselves
And their dreams
Of CHANGING the world


By living the wrong dream
And they can't
FIND THEIR WAY
Back to God


Love is
THE ONLY DREAM
Worth living


“LOVE is patient
Love is kind


It does not envy
It does not boast


It is not proud
It is not rude


It is not self seeking
It is NOT easily angered
It KEEPS no record
Of wrongs


LOVE does not delight
In evil
But REJOICES
With the truth


IT ALWAYS PROTECTS
Always trusts
Always hopes
Always perseveres


LOVE NEVER FAILS” 1 Corinthians 13:4-8


As we
Go about our journey
In life
We forget
That love


THE GIVING AND RECEIVING
Of love
IS the only dream
Worth living


NO OTHER
Kind of investment
Of our time and treasure
WILL BRING us peace


The funny thing
About love
Is that
The more we give
THE MORE we have to give


GOD-YOU ARE LOVE
YOU ARE my very life
You are the ONLY DREAM
Worth Living
