The Pigeons Were Still Snoozing

/ pastorpete51 / 3 Comments 
The pigeons were still snoozing
While the hawk dozed on his perch
And bluebirds were just waking
When woodpecker went to work!

And his tapping is reminding me
I have a job to do
So just sitting round and wishing
Is not what God has planned to do 

For even though He gives me songs
And resting is just fine
He has much more for us in store
For us in Summertime

In the garden we have seeds to plant
With rows to weed and tend
And water with our tears and prayers
Till He brings His harvest in!

Those who sow in tears
    shall reap with shouts of joy!
Psalms 126:5 ESV

Eyes

/ pastorpete51 / 4 Comments

To the King of the ages, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen. 1 Timothy 1:17 ESV

Eyes were made to see
Since the moment of creation
Watching dust specks in the sun
Spinning wildly with elation

Each sunrise with its colors
The wave tops as they break
And the smiles on lips of mothers
And the raindrops on the lake

He gave them light and focus
And His word to show them how
Our great unseen Creator
Is walking with us now

Just Like a Child

O LORD, my heart is not lifted up; my eyes are not raised too high; I do not occupy myself with things too great and too marvelous for me. But I have calmed and quieted my soul, like a weaned child with its mother; like a weaned child is my soul within me. Psalm 131:1-2 ESV

 Just like a child I cried for things
That could not help me grow
And Insisted that the path
Went where I chose to go

But now I’m thankful for the work
You’ve given me to do
Like mowing lawns or writing verse
And singing songs for You

For simple friends and pulling weeds
And tears and fears now past
Which have helped me hear Your voice
That gave me peace at last!
