Saying Good-Bye to 2008

The time has come to walk through the gate

Saying Good-bye to 2008

As I reach back to close it behind

I take a moment to rehash in my mind

All of the things both good and bad

Lots of memories happy and sad

For only a moment the time stands still

As I think of my life wanting only God's will

Another year passes me by

Lord I am getting older I cry
He tells me yes, daughter you are

Older, yet wiser

You have traveled so far

It is true Lord I have looked back

Over my life this year

Feeling with more certainty

My ministry more clear

And now as I close the gate

No longer looking back at 2008

I look forward to All that will be defined

In this new year of 2009

Note: I am looking forward to the New Year expecting God's will to manifest in my life ..

Happy New Year .. to All

Isaiah 40:31

But they that wait upon the LORD

shall renew their strength;

they shall mount up with wings as eagles;

they shall run, and not be weary;

and they shall walk, and not faint.

Blankets of Healing

I give to you this blanket

It is a special kind
It is brought to you

With love and prayer
Stitched with you in mind

With each stitch of thread
I thought of you in bed
So I made for you this blanket
With the pillowslip for your head

I prayed that God would cover you
And that you would feel His love
As Angels watch over you
From Heaven up above

I pray that God’s love
Would cover you
And bring with it His healing
I felt so much love for you I could not shake this feeling

Knowing this little blanket
Would bring you so much joy
Whether a little girl or a boy

I thought this special blanket
Would be better than a toy

It holds within its threads
Prayers and blessing
For your bed

Mark 5:21-43

Note: Written for Gwen Johnson .. and her sisters who stitched blankets for children in the hospital.. I wrote these words .. to accompany these special blanket blessings.. We printed them on brite smiley face paper and rolled and tied then with britely colored ribbon .. for their delivery ..We pray that they meet the face of smiling children ..and bless the hearts of their parents and caregivers.

Your Little Ones

Love those little freckles..

And the sparkles in his eyes

He is speaking in truths

And not telling any lies

Thinking deep within

About the trouble he gets in

Wondering how it finds him(lol)

Wish I new this little one..

Called Braden .. who is your son

Oh what fun!

I miss not knowing your little ones!
Early Inspirations..lol

Love you LisaMe!

Note: Written while reading my friend Briana's blog .. she had a picture of her son .. I got tickeled by his freckles and the twinkle in his eyes .. lol

Frankincense, Gold & Myrrh

Were the gifts brought
For Jesus’ birth
I bring them to be a gift to you
May you always remember
The birth of our Savior
And the sacrifice others made
To bring Him gifts

And His special gift He gave to us
Eternal life, paid with the price
Of
 His own life
John 3:16

Merry Christmas
Your sister friend

LisaMe!

Merry Christmas Lady Eagles

Our Lady Eagle’s Beautiful Tree
Merry Christmas
12/2008
From: LisaMe!

As I was sitting thinking about how much all of you ladies mean to me
I could see you All on a Beautiful Tree
I saw Valerie all in Green
Keeping our tree free of grass and singing to a upper class
And then there was Jenny Martin
Sitting in her pink and blue
Listening with her eyes on all of you
Ms Evelyn you are new
I can’t wait to see what the Lord has for you
He is cooking up something rare
Taking His time in you to prepare
Lena was there; so gifted is she
I could see her fingerprints all over our tree
Painting our blossoms with colors so true
With colors of red, purple and did you see that patch of blue
Ms Lillie was there
Showing how much she cares
For each and every one of you
And even though her words are few
She has beautiful thoughts with colors of Gold
With spiritual stories deep in her soul
And where would we all be
Without our sister Vicky D
She was sitting in the middle of our tree
Her branches reaching out in every direction
Praying for all of us: for God’s protection
And I saw Ms Gerry praying in the center of our tree
Praying for you and praying for me
Praying for all of our families
And next to her
Ms Joyce was praying in a heavenly language
And then I heard Ms Harriet sing
Songs so sweet
It lifted me higher and higher into our tree
Touching each one of the leaves
With Hallelujah’s to our king,
Our tree is so filled with love
So many angels collected on our tree
Reminding God of you and me
Rosa, Agnes, and Jenny
We miss you when you are not there
We love to hear you when you share
We’re lifting you up to God in prayer
I could see Gwen stitching her quilts
Sewing the love that the Lord has built
Deep within the leaves of our tree
Ms Mary was helping with her reds and her greens
Adding in talents so gifted is she
Our gifts being honored by the Kings of all Kings
More of you I began to see
Regina,
Ms Betty, Ms Lucy, and Ms Picou,
We have been praying for all of you
Arminda we have missed you and Vanessa too
And where would we be without our Pier Part crew
Stronger and stronger our tree grew
I could feel God’s Grace Abounding over me and you
Ashley you have gifted our tree
With talents unknown we are waiting to see
What the Lord has for you and for me
Your presence of love flows evenly
Pouring itself over our tree
Things Felt deeply by more than just me
God’s healing we are waiting to see
Jackie is crafty even if some say she is tacky
She has added so much joy to our tree
Adding glitter and glue
And a heart that is true
Where would our tree be without you
Diane was way up high
She had wings like a butterfly
But looking back with second glances
I saw it was with angels that she dances
Praising God is what I saw the leaves of our tree do
Bringing healing to me and to you
Pauline was there like a fragrant flower
Passing through the leaves
With healing in her porcelain cup
Filling us all up with a word from the Lord
Diana was there in her regal way
She shared with us
She had much to say
Shellie surprised us with the colors She wore
She is Christ’s child whom we all adore
Ashley and Brittany were in our tree
Sitting and singing .. a lovely melody
Tiffany and Kim joined right in
Dancing and shaking the leaves and the limbs
Praising God is what we come here to do
Such joy has spilled over from out of our tree
His Glory is all around you and me
We are decorated with His love
With beauty and grace that flows from your faces
It is His light that we want to shine
So when He returns none will be left behind
So as I sit and look upon our beautiful tree

I see precious gifts
God has given pieces of each of you to me
I pray the world will see
How God has made our Beautiful tree
I write these words in love
Your sister in Christ LisaMe!

Note: This was written for my Tuesday Ladies Church group .. to share at our Christmas Party You all mean so much to me .. it is evident as seen in our tree .. We are a fun bunch of ladies ..

As I wait on God expectantly

I feel I am about to give birth

But
The nursery
Is not ready yet.

I have all the paint picked out

Sitting on the floor

Wallpaper to be hung 

But
I can not stand on a ladder 

The crib still waiting
In its box
To be assembled

So many things to do

And
All I can do
Is look into the door

Waiting
For
Help to arrive

I am prepared

I cried

I have washed and folded
All
The baby things

Neatly

Touching them
Over and Over
Each Day 

Waiting
Expectantly
For the day 

I know it will come 

But
For now

I feel
Like such
A lonely
Expectant one
(I laugh Out Loud to myself .. Understanding What the Lord is speaking to LisaMe)
He loves me
And
Is
So Loving
To LisaMe
He births
At
Just the
Right
Time

Note: I am not physically pregnant .. but am in my spirit..
I wrote this while responding to my Mary Diane sister friend ...
Waiting to give birth to the Vision within me ...

Psalm 62:5 My soul, wait only upon God and silently submit to Him; for my hope and expectation are from Him.


Note:My book was published 9-2009 .. Now waiting for the rest to come to pass ..

Note: 12/14/2010 Today the Logo for the new season ~ the new mission ~ Bridge Mix is being made ..God's vision for the ministry being birthed right in front of me... I stand in Awe... watching this thing take shape and being born .. a ministry bigger than I could have dreamed possible .. all I can say is God you have allowed time for me to be prepared .. and have even brought many people with which to connect and to share it with .. I never lost the hope of one day .. it would come .. while continuing to write and prepare .. being a longly expectant one .. just knowing one day ... this day would come ... I love you... your daughter,  LisaMe!

 10/7/2021

Tears for Today

How to express the words that we feel
When emotions are raw and feelings so real
How do we prepare for what is to come
We fight to hold back the tears that must run
Afraid to let fears of grief overtake us

It is a natural release
Along with it will come much peace
As you all gather together
With memories to share
Of this life that was lived

Memories
Some good and some bad
Some happy and some sad
The one thing.. that you all can agree

His life was lived
With the love of the Lord
And so we know he now has his final reward
Hand in hand with his Shepard his King
Can you hear the angels sing

We will miss his soul
But his spirit lives on
So cry today so tomorrow you can sing
Remembering his memory will be a happy thing

It is not good-bye

But until we meet again

Note: Written for my friend Vicky D... her father passed away yesterday.. I wanted to write something for her.. I wanted to bring comfort to her heart.. but the emotions were just to new.. She sent me a photo .. of a fireangel.. I will see what I can do.. Lord it is my desire to Honor you .. in all that I say and do ...

When Mercy meets Grace

When thinking of You

All I see

Is God’s Grace

Abounding over thee

I feel your Grace Abound

It is in the echo of the sound

It is His love that will set you free

To be the woman of God

You were made to be

Reach past the hurt

That has had you bound

As you lay all your burdens down

It is His love in me

That I give this word to thee

I am his child – LisaMe!

I feel your Grace abound

When in my life I have found

When Mercy meets Grace

Note: 2008...Today while at our ladies cell meeting.. during Praise and Worship .. I got this word for my sister and friend Ashley .. God loves you so much.. it is our healing that He desires .. Receive His Mercy and His Grace..

Psalm 68:1-3 

"Let God arise. Let His enemies be scattered. 

Let those also who hate Him flee before Him; 

as smoke is driven away, so drive them away. 

As wax melts before the fire, so let the wicked perish 

at the presence of God. But let the righteous be glad." 

Note:
Written to one of my Cafemom friends.. in response to a poem written ..
encouraging women to Arise Prayer is a powerful thing ..

The Rarest of All Gifts

Majestic is the word

The Lord has given me

You came
To my remembrance

From a distant memory

He showed me of your beauty

Yes so delicate and rare

Hidden
Deeply
Down
Within

Beneath
Your skin and hair

He showed me of His favor

That He has
Concerning you

In things that
He has planned

That only you can do

So do not be afraid

For what He plans
Will come

These are things
That have been promised

Just like the returning of His Son

You have been
So very faithful

He is absolutely pleased

And
When the time does come

It will happen
With such ease

Royal is your color; Purple is the hue

One thing God can count on,
Is you always will be true

And
For you my dear, dear sister

Perfect are the facets
That have been chosen for your crown

For when God desired a willing heart

It was you that He has found

Continuing
Walking as
A Woman of God

God sees your heart

You are so very
Special to Him

May all His blessings
Rest upon you

Because one day soon ALL of your dreams will come true

Note:10/18/2014 Even today .. I find myself wanting to bless others .. I have been blessing friends.. on Facebook.. with the gift of flowers.. because Sherry Smith a girl from High School that I did not know well .. put flowers on my wall .. one of the pay it forward .. kind of post .. so for each person that likes your post.. you pick a flower and post it on their wall .. I love these type of challenges.. because it allows me to write an encouraging word .. to go along with the flowers .. I have saved the words.. in word document .. for future reference .. because it blesses me to be a blessing .. We can Never out Give God .. True encouragement never dies.. but continues to live and breathe .. Amen I strive to be an encouragement and inspiration to and from the Lord ..

 Note: 12/11/2010 Day 31 in my heart devotion God's Heart Your Destiny .. this reminded me.. not only of my gift of encouragement .. but the gift that I see in others.. as we look at our own hearts.. we need to see them through the eyes of Jesus... This way we see.. what He sees.. the gift perfected ...  rare and beautiful .. maybe not always ready enough to share .. but just like the diamond in the rough .. that is how I see myself .. I know I have gifts.. many that God has given me.. and through the years .. looking back I can see how He is perfecting them :) Oh How I love Jesus.. and what He is doing in and through me ..LisaMe!

Note: This is where this began .. Written summer of 2007 while staying at Tiffin's... for her friend Anita .. whom I had only met in passing years before.. I gave her a gift of purple earring's..learning from Tiffin that purple was her favorite color ...
to go with the poem..

His Gift ~ The Best Gift of All

The best gift of all

you can't find it in a Mall

or under any tree

And most importantly of all

it is absolutely free

It was rare and yet so perfect

Well thought out and planned

In the form of a small baby

who grew to be a man

Fore told of by the prophets

His day was sure to come

to cleanse the world and

set us free from all that we had done

His life was sent to save us and in the end it did

you ask me how could this be so

He died so we could live

He gave us life eternally upon a cruel cross
And even when all hope was gone
we were not left for loss

The message was so very clear

right from the very start

this child who grew to be a Man

He had the purest heart

People came from everywhere just to hear Him talk

His stories were so wonderful

for miles and miles they'd walk

Crowds had gathered all through towns

on hillsides and on shores

with every message that he gave

they always wanted more

Along with His fine speaking

something else had happened too

The lame could walk, the blind could see,

the sick became well too

Even some who though were dead

were raised for us to see

that nothing is impossible for those who just believe

Believe in what you just might ask

as this story continues on

Who is this Son this special child

And where was he born

The angels told the night he came
He is the Son of God

He came to free the world from sin

And peace on earth to bring

Angels sang and shouted
"Glory to Our King"

shepherds came, wise men too

Bearing special gifts to see

The Son the angels said was laying in a manager

This tiny little baby

was not in a pretty bed

Nor did he have lace blankets

wrapped about his head

He was lying in a manager

just as the angels said

His crib was just a trough with hay

that lay beneath his head

Now this is how the story goes

there is so much more that's true

this is just a little of the gift

as told from me to you

You to can have this special gift

Just close your eyes in prayer

Ask the Lord into your heart
to wash away your cares

This special little baby that grew to be a man ..

You see his name is Jesus Christ

He died so that all may understand

Eternal life was his perfect plan
Love LisaMe!
My Prayer
Would
Be
That You would
Bow your head
With me
And
Accept
Jesus As you Personal Savior

This Year Accept Jesus As Your Lord and Savior

Don't

Wait

Another

Year

You

May

Not

Live Another Year

Note: This poem was written by LisaMe in 1999
The Lord gave it to me while preparing for a Children Church Message
As Everything that comes to me .. it was written and shared ..
I share it with whom ever will listen

Psalms 115 .. All Honor and Glory to Him alone ..
 John 3:16 For God so loved the World
that he gave his only begotten Son,  that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life.

John 3:17 For God did not send His Son
to condemn the world, but that the world  through Him might be saved.

Reading the bible helps teach us Bible Truths
Matthew 1:18-25
Luke 2:1-20

 We have all done, thought or said bad things, which the Bible calls "sin." The Bible says, "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" in Romans 3:23 You can't earn salvation;

The result of sin is death, spiritual separation from God Romans 6:23
The good news?

Jesus died in our place so we could have a relationship with God and be with Him forever. "God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us" Romans 5:8 But it didn't end with His death on the cross. He rose again and still lives! "Christ died for our sins. ... He was buried. ... He was raised on the third day, according to the Scriptures" 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 Jesus is the only way to God. Jesus said, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through Me" John 14:6

You are saved by God's grace when we have faith in His Son, Jesus Christ.
All you have to do is believe you are a sinner, that Jesus Christ died for your sins, and ask His forgiveness. Then turn from your sins-that's called repentance. Jesus Christ knows you and loves you. What matters to Him is the attitude of your heart, your honesty.
My Prayer
Would be that
You
Would bow
Your heart
In prayer with
LisaMe!

Will you pray the following Prayer to accept Christ as your Savior:

Dear Lord Jesus,
I know I am a sinner,
and I ask for your forgiveness.
 I believe you died for my sins and rose from the dead.
I trust and follow you as my Lord and Savior. 

Guide my life and help me to do your will.
In your Jesus name, Amen.

Note:2021 .. "
Life is a Journey Not a Race We must all Travel at our own Pace." 

 I am so excited for you ..

Psalm 119:105

Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path.

Matthew 22:37

Intertwined

Oh how this life of mine
Is so intertwined
With my word and my rhymes

I love the things I’ve said
The words so trapped within my head

That at times
I get up out of bed

The moment I write them down
I began to hear the sound

Of it forming in my mind
That’s when my world is Intertwined

With its rhythms and its rhymes
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Oh how this life of mine
Is intertwined
At times

The words get trapped within my head
As I am laying in my bed
Speaking softly in my mind
With its rhythms and its rhymes
That’s when my world is Intertwined

As It’s forming in my head
I get myself up out of bed
Speedily I write them down
Hearing how the words do sound

Oh How I love the things I’ve heard it say
I wouldn’t have it any Other way

Note: One of my favorite scriptures

.. A tree Intertwined ..

Revelations 22:2 In the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was the tree of life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yeilding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

Am I a Word Weaver



Stitching and sewing
Would be just fine
If I knew how and had the time

Funny how it is said…
That I use words instead of thread ..

I love the thoughts that come to me
It frees my soul and sets me free

Yes.. this is just LisaMe!

Note to self:
Am I a Word Weaver
.. I love the sound..
I love what I think it represents..
Some have said I am a psalmists ..
I did not feel worthy of the name..
 I have called it poetry because I did not know what else to call it
 .. but Word Weaver ..
I think
.. represents me ..
 and the words that I share
.. piercing though the air
with encouragement, thoughts and prayers ...

Thank You Mary Diane
 .. you are a Blessing
 .. You ..
have encouraged me ...
My sister friend Mary Diane .. went on to be with the Lord .. Oh how I miss her

2019 Reference link update ... Walking in a New Season .. God has reasons for every season .. Trust That

Tomorrow

None of us are promised tomorrow
But we can face .. each day..
Without sorrow of situations
That may happen tomorrow ..
Life needs to be lived
And not kept in a box
Although some moments
We tend to relive
Are safely kept under lock
Sorrow comes to us all one day
But it comes to pass
And not to stay
All of my sorrows
Have made me stronger
for a better tomorrow
Love LisaMe!

The Love on Your Tree

I wanted to say
Happy Birthday
From Me

I wanted a gift
That would say
All the right things

I wanted it to bring
A
Smile to your face

To bring love to your Heart

To bring you Great Joy

To share with you how many years of your life others have enjoyed

I could not find all the words I wanted to say
For all the things you have done for me
On all of my yesterdays

But I found this Beautiful Tree
Filled with lots of hearts

Inside each heart Filled with all the memories
Of your life lived and shared
With the ones God has planted there

And As I looked upon this tree
I saw your love for me

My heart was so filled with Joy
I knew this was the perfect gift

Because what Mother would want more than Love

When our lives are filled with love
That is where the true blessing are

Happy Birthday Mother
I Love You
LisaMe!

I am a fruit on your Tree

Note: 11-25-2008

I wrote this today for my Mother.. for her birthday.. I wanted something special I loved the picture of this tree with the hearts.. I had my heart set on using it to write something for her .. After I wrote .. and re-read it .. I sat and cried .. realizing that my Mother.. does love me ..

And how Awesome is God .. for giving me the right inspiration .. to get to the root .. that has been burrying me .. Joy has been replaced .. by the rejection that I had been feeling for years ..

I sent it over to Target .. having it printed on a 5x7 photo .. and will put it in a frame .. I know she will Love it.. What can I say.. it was in the Tree ... lol .. Praising God.. LisaMe!

Just Believe

Daddy dodo
I believe in you

God is your God
And I know this is true
He is doing a deep-rooted work in you

Give in to His love
It is His gift from above
He will not let you down or fall beneath the ground

The devil, he cannot win
He only wishes that God were his twin
He is deceived, he lives a lie and in the end he knows he will die.

But not you my dear husband my Mr. Man
God is doing all that He can
To open your eyes and show you His love

While you live in this land

There are too many friends who care about you
They are praying to God, to help guide you through
Warring in the Spiritual Realm standing in battle for you

So Believe in yourself
You are not alone
There are multitudes of Angeles surrounding God’s throne

Rejoicing with God Singing in Heaven
Because they already know
You will make it home

I Love You

Your LisaMe!

Note: One of the many poems of encouragement written to my husband.. Stacey ..

Lady Diana

You are truly a Creation
That brings forth a sensation

To all who know you

May your always grow close to the vine
Releasing your pollen to those in need
As you allow Jesus to be your wings

You are a beautiful flower
That brings beauty and light

To all who are touched by your lightness of ways
Encouragement comes in so many ways
It strengthens our hearts and lengthens our days

I am encouraged
By the things that I can see God do
Because of the Beauty
That He has placed in you

And here Today

We come to Celebrate

The journey of your Life

Beautiful Pages of your life
As a sister, a friend
A mother and a wife

Happy Birthday
Love LisaMe!

Note: Recently one of the Ladies in our Womens prayer group had her 60th Birthday .. I was not able to go to the celebration.. A friend bought a card for me.. a brought it over to my house.. while I was signing.. her card.. which happen to have lots of butterflies, flowers, feathers, and leaves this is what came about.. on the card.. I wrote in circles and .... dots ..lol

Whispering prayers

In the Father’s ears
We know He is listening
Even through all of our fears

These little earrings
With glistening drops
Is our way of saying
Please do not stop

May they be a reminder to you
Of all of the special things
That you say and do

Of the prayers you have whispered
And the tears you have shed
The witness you have been
And the life you have led

Prayers you have lifted up on our behalf
Especially for your brother to pick up his staff

You are a blessing this much is true
And it is our pleasure to
Bestow gifts onto you

Love, Lisa & Stacey

Note: Written to my sister in law.. with a bag of gifts I picked up for her .. that included a beautiful pair of dangling earrings.. I am so appreciative for the prayers I know she offers up for her brother..

A Lump of Clay

Outside walking in the break of day
I know I am just a lump of clay
Talking to the Lord.. I had much to say
I am trusting in Him to show me the way

Open my ears so I can hear
Open my eye so I can see
Sometimes we get blinded by Humanity

Remove the junk that makes me blind
Renew my spirit and my mind

Speaking to God while I am on my way
All I want is for you to have your way
Mold me make me day by day

Lord I am Willing, show me the way

Love, LisaMe!

Intercession

Thank you for your intercession

Your compassion and your prayers

I Thank God that He will meet them

With His love and with His care
Your friendship has already

Become Special to me

You are a gift unto the Lord

Yes, this is what I see
In Love and friendship

Your sister in the Lord, LisaMe!

Note: written to a friend.. after hearing that she was in prayer for our family.. over the loss of Dusty ..

Gawking and Talking

Thoughts that are rolling around in my head..
As I wander off headed for bed
Is not any animal at all
But Women who are Spiritually Tall
Not wandering around or shopping at the Mall

But talking and praying over spiritual things
That would make most peoples ears tingle and ring
Deep is a word that comes to my mind
I have found most people are just spiritually blind

But you have been very refreshing
Listening to your words
Is like having salad with a wonderful dressing

And yes my dear friend I do love to rhyme
Gawking and Talking most of the time ..
When listening to God in a spiritual rhyme
He tickles my soul most of the time

Joy is the word that I leave you with
As you open your heart
Instead of your head

This little rhyme
Is simply to pass the time
of a Gawking and Talking
In a Spiritual Rhyme
Love, LisaMe!

Note:
Written to a new friend.. silly chatter .. lol
I do not always write just for fun ..
but this one.. was a MOST enjoyable one.. lol ..
It shows how my heart is being freed and healed ...Amen!

One day.. this will go on the road .. sharing it for all to see ..
Just How much Fun Gawking and Talking can be ...
Look for ..... LisaMe!

LisaMe!

Smile!

Life is full of all kinds of trials

But when faced with a friend

It is easier to smile!

Leap Frog

Here’s a Frog to go in your Garden may it be a reminder to where we have been and where we are going. This leapfrog is to remind you that there are times when we are to carry. And times when we are to be carried. The idea of the leapfrog was to help advance one another to the next level; it was not intended to squash each other, or to take advantage of the other. The idea was to help one another to the next level. If we can learn a lesson from the leapfrog, we could learn a lot. Not looking back, but looking forward. In order to truly get to the next level we have to leave where we have come from behind us forgiving looking forward. God has a lot of Great plans for us. With the leapfrog plan we could go far. So how about it? Want to jump ahead to see the Plans God has for us. The only other alternative is to drown in the pond of un-forgiveness. I like God’s plan better he died for our sins and gave us a sea of forgetfulness. Where all the frogs’ both young and old jump higher and live longer. And with that thought forgive me and let me leap over to help carry you and not be a burden to you. Have a wonderful birthday! . I pray that you live longer and Jump Higher!

Happy Birthday!
With Much Love LisaMe!

Note: Written for my mother for her birthday 2003

2003 .. given with leap frog planters
2014 Brought Mother a Kissing frog ..

 

Amazing thoughts from.. LisaMe!

A Miracle in His hand

Jesus did it with dirt in his hand..
What did he do with the old blind man..
Jesus put spit into his hand
mixing it with sand..
Then touching his eyes, what a surprise..
He opened his eyes! ..
If he did it for him he can do it for me ...
What does Jesus have to do in order for us to see ...

Amazing thoughts from.. LisaMe!

Distance Between Friends

You are a friend who is always there
sight unseen I know you care,
When there is a need I know you'll pray
and I pray for you it just works that way.

There is not a friend more true than you
who picks me up when I am blue.
No matter the distance between us two
I know with God I can count on you.

Love LisaMe!

Note: To my prayer partners and special sister friends .. who are always willing to pray for me when I call .. I Love you ..

For All God's People

Life is precious
Life is sweet

We must take time

to stop and speak

To share our heart

to say a prayer

to just let people

know we care

It pleases God

to see us Love

He's watching

Us from up above

So be that friend

take time to pray

For all God's people

Everyday!

Lisa Me!

Note: This was one of my first poems written..
Before blogger; Before 2003

I wrote while thinking of Daniel Dardar
Who had invited me to write for him at Louisiana Good News
A non profit ~ Christian Newspaper ..Thank you for your encouragement
I had not really written before .. because of you; Because of Peggy P
I have continued to write .. expressing my deep inspirations

(My blogger was started in 2008 needing what I felt at the time was a safe place to share
My writings (it was not safe) Ending in 2019 because of their constraints not allowing me to share the link freely through facebook. twitter and goolgle ..
Learning where All the lies and spies really are Dec 2018
It is still very much still unraveling)

Friendship Flowers ..

Dear Friends

New friendship is like flowers growing in a garden.
They started out as little seeds,
That grew a mists the soil and weeds,
The more they are watered they more they grow.
Sometimes we plant and don't even know.
The "JOY" we bring to all who are there
In mists of God's garden with love and care
It is for His pleasure it is the reason we are there.
Each one of different each one of us rare

As the flowers grow from beneath the soil
We continue to labor and continue to toil
With labor of love to remove all the weeds
As new growth comes up from within the seeds
We tenderly nurture the tiny plants
Whose leaves sometimes look as though they dance
Maybe it’s their way of showing their Praise
To the Father of Heaven with their leaves raised
For the one who created their beauty and grace
For all who behold the love on their face

It is the purpose of the friendship to bring love.
It is just like the garden
 it needs watering, weeding and waiting,
patiently as it grows.
Just like garden it will not grow without the "Son",
or the watering of the Holy Spirit.
The Father created within us an eternal purpose.
He commanded us to Love one another.
It becomes a pure "JOY" when friends are like you.
Your courage stands out; you are a strong branch in God's Garden.
No branch becomes strong without being tested to make sure
it can hold its place in the vine.
God has a purpose and plan for us all.
The garden is His creation and He knew when He planted it
what would grow and what would be weeds.
Thank you for using your branches and reaching out to me.
As you have for so many others.
Be encouraged to remain willing and God will continue to use you.
A garden is a lot like God's creation
He created us for His enjoyment.
We are like seeds planted around, and throughout the earth.
He waters us with His Holy Spirit.
We nurture and feed off of each others love
that comes from the Father given to us by the Son.
That is God's purpose that is why it begun.
Who gets more enjoyment
the Gardner who planted the seeds,
The flowers who beautifully grow,
or the ones who look upon the garden.
With much Love, LisaMe

How does my Garden Grow?

With beautiful sister friends..
the Lord wants me to know
you were planted in my life ..
hand picked by Him.. Amen!
Love LisaMe!

What you plant is what you will grow..
It is important to ask and important to know...
Pulling up weeds.. is important too! ..
Even if they silently grew ..
It is time they go ..
And they already knew ..
More from the Garden of LisaMe!♥

Note: Written the morning that I was going to meet VickyD for coffee .. I did not know her very well this day.. in fact I had just recently met her ..It was April 2003 .. I had just found a pumpkin watering can at a garage sale .. we had just had cell at my home.. Ms Dottie had brought some brown mums .. I put them in that little pumpkin watering can .. that is when Friendship Flowers was birthed .. I sat and wrote it quickly on my computer ..  We have been friends since 2003.. I have been inspired to write her many things .. She was always willing to hear my writings ....I have watched her life.. be rearranged ..

All in the life of the garden ...plucked and planted .. Father knows best ... we all have to face life's test ..... big or little .. we must do what we can.. to keep the bugs out .. to cultivate our fruit .. The fruits of the Spirit  make it very clear to see ...

But the fruit of the Spirit 

is love, joy, peace, forbearance, 

kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 

gentleness and self-control. 

Galatians 5:22 

A Prayer for Ms. Vicky D

I pray Dear Lord

Her wounds to see

As she puts her hope

And trust in thee

Heal her Lord

from inside out

As she waits on you

for your plan to come about

You know her heart

her deepest need

She's petitioned you

yes she did plead

While she lays there

oh so still

We thank you Lord

for her to heal
A Miracle
Please bestow
On her body
From head to toe
We thank you Lord
For all your love
As sent to us
From the Father Above
Love to my friend
Amen!
LisaMe

Note: Written for Vicky when she was down in her back..

Ms Thelma Beadle Rebardi

Ms Thelma loved to wear her dress and fix herself in her Sunday best.
She loved God and was not ashamed to sing praises to His name.
Even though I am so far away, I will miss my friend who has gone home to stay.
Today she has no pain, or sorrow, and no more waiting for tomorrow.
She will be remembered by all who cared about the life she had and the love she shared.
We will hold a memory in our heart of Ms Thelma Beadle Rebardi.
I will remember the smile upon her face, her love for people and the way her face would light up when she saw my kittens. I got to know her because of my dear friend Vicky, whom she loved as a daughter, and Michael who she watched grow from a baby into a handsome young man. They took the time to hold her hand, and be her family. They shared Ms Thelma with the rest of us, and because of them she left behind a family who loved her. I thank God for her eternal home. May she rest in peace, Love LisaMe!

Note: Written for my friend Vicky for her to share at the Memorial of Ms Thelma who will be sadly missed. She had no family .. Vicky adopted her .. brought her to church every week and visited her at the nursing home often.. She will be missed.

Heart felt Prayer

Pastor Lee, church family and my friends

It’s not just with words, but heart felt prayer
That I take this time with you to share
To thank you each and everyone
Especially my husband and my son

You have shared with me to be a friend
To Ms Thelma, in her life and in her death

Ms Thelma would be so proud
Of all of you who gathered around
You came, you shared and you were there
To pray respect, to show you cared

To sings songs of praise in remembrance
Even though some of you only knew her at a distance
She made peace with God long ago
And it doesn’t matter the things we did not know

When we go through times of trials and loss
It is good to know Christ paid the cost
And all our friends who stand together
To pray with us in any weather

A Very Special Day

We are remembering with you
On this very special day
One of God’s children that has since past away
Your beloved Sandy on her birthday

Sandy is not forgotten
And neither are you
So here’s a little gift
To celebrate with you

So do not cry
And do not be sad
Just cherish and remember
The good times you had

We will all be together
One day this is true
It is the promise
From God the Father to you

Wish we were there
Much love Stacey and Lisa

Note: Written for my mother in law.. on the anniversary of the passing of her oldest daughter .. Our Beloved Sandy

Dancing with the Angels

Wife, mother, sister and friend
Is the way we remember
Our dear, dear friend

Her wonderful smile
Her kindness and joy
She’s returned to the Father and her sweet little boy

We take a moment to morn
And to be sad
But what she would want is for us to be glad

She is dancing with Angels
She is in the Father’s hands
No longer we will see her beauty
Upon this land

She is dancing with Angels
There is joy on her face
Her pain is gone
She is in a heavenly place

She is dancing with Angels
Time in her body has come to an end
Today she is with Jesus
Who was her best friend

She has left her hand print
Upon our hearts
And upon our lives

We know it is not goodbye
But until we meet again
And until that day comes
We know she will be dancing with Angels
Rest in Peace

Love your sister friend,

LisaMe!
